MAPS
There are several different kinds of maps and map related commands available.
[ The Wilderness ]
On the surface of a planet a map of the colonist's surroundings is displayed. The colonist is marked by a () symbol in the center. The background colors on the map represent biome types, while the symbols represent active weather, resource deposits, or noticeable buildings.
In the wilderness there are additional commands accessed via MAP:
MAP BIOMES - display a map of surrounding biomes, with legend.
MAP ELEV - display a table of surrounding elevations.
MAP TEMP - display a table of surrounding temperatures.
[ Indoors ]
Within a starship, building, or other interior location a minimap is displayed with the colonist's location in the center and the adjoining rooms/exits. From within an indoor location, a colonist can use the MAP command to get a larger view of the structure or ship.
