Read the current world
The map is shared, and individual accounts remain personal.
The reference map lists twelve regions and twenty routes. The live game determines which routes and places are currently open. Map visibility does not bypass a prerequisite.
Weather changes with world time. A profession can be temporarily blocked by conditions or site capacity; for example, high wind can stop stocked forestry work. Review the current local method and its fallback before reserving a long plan.
Other players can contribute to shared projects and public records. Returning after a major world event may show a changed route or new context without resetting your personal career. Read your own Journal for your next established objective.
