World Map

The world of Xsyon is very vast. It can take hours to travel from one corner of the map to the next.

As you can see on this map, the world is divided into zones. While in-game, you can see which zone you are in at the bottom of your interface. At first, getting your bearings in Xsyon can be quite difficult, since you do not have an "in-game" map option to help you find your way.

Instead, they implemented a XYZ graphics system to help you travel. Now, take notice of the second picture displayed below. This example puts us in Zone 935, which you can see on the big map, is located in the West-North-West corner of the world. Each zones are made of roughly 1000 x 1000 meters, and in order to determine your location within the zone, you need to take a look at the positions.

On the example I provided, there are 3 position numbers. The first one determines your X-axis, the second one your Y-axis and the third one your Z-axis.

So like I mentioned before, each zones are like a graph of 1000x1000. So like all graphs, (0,0) is located at the bottom left corner of each zones and you can then determine from there, where you are in the zone. From our previous example, (635,562) should be located a little bit North-East from the center of Zone 935.

About the third postion number, Z determines your elevation of your current location. Even though it might sound irrelevant to know that information, it is a must to have when you are doing some terraforming. When you need to dig up or down to a specific height, this information is essential, also when you need to "level" the ground, in order to make it flat.
