# Map & Movement guide

## Main maps

### Ratropia

Ratropia serves as the primary game world, offering the core gameplay experience from the start. The world consists of numerous interconnected rooms, each represented by a dedicated Discord channel. Players can track others' locations by checking the gray tags on their profiles, which display their current room.

{% endhint %}

### The Hideous Dungeon

While primarily focused on combat encounters, the Hideous Dungeon offers additional gameplay elements. This challenging area uses the same navigation commands as Ratropia but presents unique strategic opportunities and challenges for players.

This map is not up to date, maybe someone will create a cleaner one ☝️&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Standard Navigation

Moving through Ratropia and other main areas requires directional commands:

* Full commands: `!north`, `!south`, `!east`, `!west`, `!up`, `!down`
* Short aliases: `!n`, `!s`, `!e`, `!w`, `!u`, `!d`

{% hint style="info" %}
Each room has its own cooldown period for movement, which is clearly marked on the map. This cooldown activates whenever you type a command and then also when you leave a room.
{% endhint %}

## Zoned Rooms

Some locations feature a more complex structure, dividing single rooms into multiple zones. These special areas including **Up Shire**, **Rankle River**, the **Asteroids**, **Mars**, and **Space Stations**.

Other Zoned rooms

* Space stations: [#map-stations](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/1303210639317008445)
* Mars: [#mars-map](https://discord.com/channels/413438871733272576/1301213435299631114)
* Rankle river: TBD
* Up shire: TBD
  {% endhint %}

### Zone Navigation

To move between zones within these rooms, use the `!move` command followed by a direction:

* `!move north` or 'n' alias
* `!move south` or 's' alias
* `!move east` or 'e' alias
* `!move west` or 'w' alias

{% hint style="info" %}

* Unlike standard rooms, player positions within zoned areas are only tracked at the room level, not by specific zone.
* A planned feature for spacecraft will eventually allow diagonal movement between zones, though this functionality is not yet implemented.
  {% endhint %}

## Secret Areas

Throughout the game world, hidden rooms exist beyond what's shown on official maps. These secret areas offer unique gameplay opportunities, particularly for spy-class players. Discovering these locations often requires exploration or collaboration with experienced players who know their whereabouts.

Note for Explorers: Maps linked in this guide provide a foundational understanding of the game world, but remember that not all pathways and rooms are documented to preserve the excitement of discovery.
