Carturs Compass and Clock
A Skyrim-style compass bar across the top of the screen. Shows your heading and your map pins at their real bearing, scaled and faded by distance.Cartur's Compass and Clock
A compass bar across the top of the screen, with your map pins on it at their real bearing.
- A pin at your two o'clock appears at your two o'clock. Read straight from the in-game map, with the same icons.
- Icons grow and brighten as you close on them.
- The pin nearest the centre shows its name and distance. One at a time.
- A clock above the bar names the part of the day —
Morning, Day 42 - 6:40 AM,Night, Day 43 - 12:15 AM— so you know whether it is safe out without doing the arithmetic. - Hides itself while the map, your inventory or the menu is open.
- Pins you have ticked off don't show, and nor do emptied chests if you also run Cartur's Map Pins.
