World Map

Zoomable overview of every location, auto-positioned and connection-routed.

What it is

Renders the Locations module as a navigable map. Locations with explicit map coordinates (set by drag) appear where you put them; ones without are auto-laid-out. Connections become edges. Biomes drive node colour.

When to use it

  • Explaining your geography to a teammate in 30 seconds.
  • Spotting orphan locations that connect to nothing.
  • Roughing out travel time between regions for a quest design.
  • Including a top-down view in your pitch deck.

How to use it

  1. 1Open World Map — auto-layout runs the first time.
  2. 2Drag any node to fix its position; coordinates persist to that Location row.
  3. 3Right-click a node to focus, edit, or open its detail sheet.
  4. 4Pan with middle-mouse, zoom with the mouse wheel.

Tips you should know

  • Drag-positions are saved as `mapX`/`mapY` on the Location doc — they survive imports/exports.
  • Auto-layout uses connections as forces; a tightly-connected cluster ends up centred.
  • Adding a background image (under settings) lets you overlay locations on hand-drawn map art.
  • Locations without coordinates float on the right edge — drag them into the main map when ready.
