Hi guys just started playing this today.

My issue is that I can't move my camera to see any more of that map outside of the 22x22 region grid on the right side of my interface. This is OK for above ground but i'm rapidly running out of horrizontal space underground.

I'm not entirely sure at this point whether i'm missing something or if it's...a feature of some sort. I assume the whole world is bigger than this though.

You only have acces to the area you selected in the embark screen. There is a LOT of underground - so many layers that most of us tend to build down rather than sideways.

Oh wow ok. I managed to get an area with shallow metals/deep metals/flux. If I hadn't would I be completely deprived of these assets with area selection then?

Yes, probably. The site finder does have some errors like sometimes showing metals were there are none and sometimes showing none when there are some, but it's mostly right. When you don't have something in your starting location, you'll have to trade for it. But don't worry, lack of interesting minerals is a challenge that leads to fun... or Fun
