One of the most important resources the player has is their map, which helps them to navigate Portia, find characters, and view where objectives are for missions and commissions.
At the beginning of My Time at Portia, most of the map is hidden by fog of war. As certain main missions are completed, the fog will lift from sections of the map. By the end of the game, the map will be fully uncovered.
Using the map
There are various basic icons for navigating the map. Certain icons, such as those representing NPCs, may be upgraded to display more information as the player increases their Relationship with them.
Manage map
Certain map icons and place names can be individually toggled on or off in the map settings, located in the lower left of the map screen called "Manage Map". Settings include:
- Construction info
- Map text
- Shop icons
- Play and date
- Fishing spots
- Other map icons
- Mission icons
- Friend icons
- Monster icons
