Stick-North (or Game North)

On most maps on this page “Stick-North” is upwards on the Y axis , regardless of compass rose.

If you drop an item while you are outdoors, most items will point in the same direction each time.
At this time, the direction pointed by the stick or arrow is tentatively called “Stick North”.
Stick-North and Direction of the sun and Ingame map has no relationship nothing each other.
Stick-North is based on the ingame coordinate system (It appear in debug screenshots by F8 key).

//////// Mapping idea for someone ////////

It is disappointing that the console Mod fly command is now(v1.6-1.7) out of date.
Previously it was easy to map caves.

In the current version, As I said before – I made a list of F8screenshot file names and then imported them into Excel.
It is easy to graph it.

New

The console Mod (Fly command) is back to v1.8x !!
