Add minimap or full settlement view

There are times when I would like to be able to see the entire map my settlement is on, for example at the start of the game I like to choose which cluster of glades I am going into or, later on, which area most needs a storage depot. Having to pan between extreme sides of the map is time consuming. Having a complete map view would make decision making easier.

it'd be a nice touch to add an overhead-view map for reference (just with the layout of the village and the area around) Sometimes I get confused after rotating the view several times.

Nice job on the game though. congrats!

It would be very nice to have an overview map, similar to other strategy games (e.g. civ 6). I think this would be helpful for seeing the resources in your town and planning your expansions!

Please make a mini map to more easily see your settlement.

I'm used to things like this in StarCraft 2 and Dota 2. I keep clicking in the lower left to move around the world. :-)

Short and simple: Some overlay that just gives me the outline of the game board and glades that I could otherwise see by scrolling around everywhere. Bonus if it includes hover over information that is unlocked via certain perks (if the perk is unlocked currently).

Scrolling around gives me terrible motion sickness, so if I could hit a button to get general layout information it would save me a lot of issues!

Adding another comment in favor of a minimap, very frustrating to scroll slowly around when you are trying to navigate around. The ability to save locations to snap to quickly would also be appreciated.

Would love minimap or press M map

Some kind of map or minimap would be nice, sometimes it's hard to keep track of my buildings. Maybe just a small map with colored pixels representing different types of buildings?

Would be amazing if there was a way to view a full zoomout of the whole city, so you could see what glades are left instead of panning around a bunch.

When the settlement gets larger it is easy to lose oversight. A small clickable minimap would help to navigate around the settlement.

In RTS games especially, having a minimap is incredibly useful. Even if it only displays information and is not interactable like some games have it is great to be able to tell where things are at a glance. If this is implemented I think including a filter to show/hide icons would be a beautiful addition.

Thank you for your efforts in developing Against the Storm, I bought it lately on sale and have been loving it. To know its in beta and still growing is great to me, I personally like seeing how games change and improve so keep at it :)

I'm surprised this hasn't gained traction:
An in-settlement mini-map that helps orient the player's base with their surroundings (resources, objectives, threats, etc.) and gives a more "2020+"-level of UI functionality for navigating our settlements as hearths grow distant and exploration fronts diverge.

Please and thank you!
Big fan! 300+ hours ;D

once my settlement grows I tend to get lost and would love to have a terrain map.
