Any idea what way is “up”! ie North, when starting the game, it would help, along with aiding others to locate resources etc in map descriptions?
All well and good stating "it’s to the right, left, up, down in maps; but it would be far far easier if you had compass points… and a mini-map too, that’s really needed in this game and would be a great aid too.

I agree with the minimap. it only needs to show the parts you have explored.
How about instead of a mini map covering more of the screen, there is a separate map you can toggle on/off that shows the map in its entirety that shows your entire town and areas you’ve explored?
Although having a mini-map would be a good idea for raiders and attacks so you can see where you’re being attacked from, I just don’t like the idea of more stuff on the screen blocking the view. Maybe the ability to toggle this on/off as well.
Let’s have both! 
mini map is definitely needed. I know three camera positions can be saved but it’s limited.
Compass points actually are needed, since you can rotate the camera (and then forget you’ve done so 
) Just a lil compass rose in the corner would be perfect.
I see zero reason to have a compass because N.S.E.W. has zero meaning in this game and i also see zero reason for a mini map as you can pause the game and look around. Other games that use Mini maps and compass markers use them to help guild a player but there is no “guiding” needed in this game.
Please instead of saying “YOU NEED” something and that it’s important tell Why it’s “IMPORTANT” to you as I myself see zero need for either of these. I feel many just think " well this game has it and Farthest frontier is a lot like this game so it needs it " Don’t have things just for the sake of having them if they are not needed for any gameplay reason. It just clutters things up.
