Maps and compass

Maps could help or SAVE player lives
I had many, many times where I got lost but eventually found the town
Few times, I was completely lost and died because of it

Maps would be very useful if used correctly

There would be 3 sizes: small, medium, large

These either zoom out the player's vision, but that's a hack of it self, so it could be actual drawn map shown by when used on self, will fade in or appear from the top, moving down and oppisite when exiting by clicking anywhere

To make a map, youneed to take a piece of paper, say /map while holding pencil with paper
To increase the size, you just need to put maps together of the same size

To start mapping, say /draw while holding map and pencil, to end mapping, just say /stop

Compass:
A compass can be used as a mobile marker director
To use it, you need to click on something sedetary, like a forge, kiln, wall or such

One positive side is that it will remember, where you marked it, meaning if some jerk breaks the item, you still can get home

Wut? That's what a home marker is for lol.

I could see a crafted compass that gives current tile coordinates though, but even that is highly unlikely to ever happen.

A compass that can be set to show the location of natural stationary objects would be great, too. So you could go back to that iron vein you pass by on your rabbit run...

see my idea of the tile compass was for iron mines and veins too. So you can just write on a piece of paper (iron mine coordinates xxxx by xxxx) and leave by the smitty.

The problem with home markers are, that if cut down, it stops showing the way home

Compass remembers that tile

Pretty sure this is not the case.

A compass in a game where up is north and you could just say "left up" for northwest. Fantastic.

I like the giant map idea though! Maybe we need a corkboard, and /map would draw one screen. Then you attatch all of them together on the corkboard and move them around until you have a town map.
