Doesn't the tutorial start when you first start the game? At least it did for me. It tells you how to open the map within the first few minutes. So yeah you can press Tab to open the map. A minimap as a fixed UI element isn't there though, you have to press tab to see the map.

Edit: nevermind, I didn't see that you don't own the game yet.

The map is 3d so a passive one on the hud would not work well. There is one you can pull up when needed though.

Actually, I *VERY MUCH* want a mini-map. I'm dsylexic, so it's very hard to comprehend and keep track of the map, and being able to constantly see how my movement affects my position on the map would be extremely helpful.

Guessing there isn't a way to enable one, is there?

Also, is there a good place to post to try to encourage the developers to add one?

I also want to try to see if I can have my friend watch on a 2nd monitor and try to give me directions. (She's too clumsy in 3D graphics worlds to play her own dwarf, but maybe I'll try to get her to try.) But if there was a constant minimap up in the corner, it would certainly help a lot. Having to constantly stop and have her (or even myself) look at the map is a real pain in the brain.

Also, I love making my own tunnels. But so far, it's pretty had to keep track of how far I've done and what level I'm at... with a minimap I could much more easily make sure that a tunnel exists to the floor-level of the new cavern, rather than creating a cliff to die off of, or arguably worse, going above or below it and just making a really messy maze that goes nowhere.

Thanks.
