Frequently asked questions

Do I need the original Explorer's Compass mod for this addon to work?
Yes, this is an addon mod and requires the base Explorer's Compass mod to be installed in your mods folder first. The addon modifies how the base mod's compass searches for structures.
Why does my compass keep pointing to the same building I'm standing in?
Without this addon, the compass finds the nearest structure regardless of your location. Install this addon to enable the next-closest search feature, which skips your current building and finds the next nearest one of that type.
How do I see the coordinates and distance on my compass?
Hold the compass in your hand and look at your screen—the distance and coordinates of your target structure will display onscreen in real-time as you move.
Can I search for different structure types one after another?
Yes, you can use the custom structure selection menu to choose a different structure type each time you use the compass, allowing you to track multiple locations in sequence.
