HUD

=  HUD =

HUD stands for Heads-Up Display. This is the numbers and GUI icons you see on your screen when in game. The HUD is used to display important information to the player.

Some parts of the HUD can only be viewed out of the mines, and some only in the mines.

The top part of the HUD contains seven symbols which give access to: the pickaxe menu, the Market, Storage, crafting, tools, special ore depths, and the Ore Finder.

Most of these menus are self-explanatory, or have their own pages. Most of the buttons are shortcuts to Base Station menus.

The menus worth mentioning on this page are: the crafting menu, and the Ore Finder.

Crafting Menu
The crafting menu contains recipes for blocks/light sources that can be placed with the Building Tool. Each different block has its own crafting recipe, and new recipes are unlocked by leveling up Research & Development.

Ore Finder
The Ore Finder is a very useful item. It can be accessed via the HUD or a room in the Map.

The player can type the name of an ore or a building material into the Ore Finder and it will display what the ore/block looks like. If the player inputs an ore, the Ore Finder will also display the icon and depths the ore spawns at. There are nine different pieces of info on the bottom of the HUD. There is the Layers button, Bases button, Return to base button, Mute music button, Screenshot button, Stats button, Settings button, level indicator, and health bar. The self-explanatory buttons will not be mentioned.

Layers Button
The layers button displays the names of each layer. For more layer information, go here.

Bases Button
The bases button allows the player to teleport to other players' bases. The person the player is attempting to teleport to must accept the offer via a pop-up that will appear.

Screenshot Button
This button removes all HUD/GUI from the player's screen for 10 seconds after being clicked, letting the player enter a "cinematic" mode for screenshots.

Stats Button
The mines HUD only shows up when the player is in the mines. This HUD displays two things: the player's coordinates and the mine's lifetime.

There is more info about coordinates here.

Mine Lifetime
The mine lifetime is the way to tell when the mine will collapse. The higher the percent, the sooner the mine will collapse. The mine lifetime percentage goes up when blocks are mined in the mines. When the percent hits 100%, the mine will collapse (regenerate) and all players will be teleported out.
