Minimap numbers and arrows?
« on: February 05, 2021, 12:45:48 pm »

I've learned the power of the compass, and the minimap is great for seeing creatures on other levels, but sometimes on the map boxes i'll see a red or blue arrow pointing up or down with a number under it (usually 1 I think). What does this represent?

A screenshot would be helpful to know what exactly you mean.

I think you're asking about the boxes in the upper-right of the screen that show the z-levels above and below you. In which case the arrow indicates whether it's above or below and the number is how many z-levels away.

Thanks for the help so far. I think you're right. Once I get a chance to log back on I'll try to capture a screenshot.
