# Alternative Map Key
2+
3+
This mod replaces most of the symbols used for ASCII overmap keys. This has no effect on the large overmap screen when using overmap tiles (tiles enabled by default).
4+
It will still replace the symbols used in the overmap in your sidebar.
5+
6+
## General Guidelines
7+
Land features are symbols. They're in big chunks so you don't really need a letter to tell you what each space is.
8+
For the same reason, houses are left as they were.
9+
10+
Buildings will be represented by the first letter of their name. P for Pizza not Parlor.
11+
12+
### Single Tile Buildings
13+
Letters are all lower case.
14+
Colors are non-inverted.
15+
16+
### Multi Tile Buildings
17+
The road connection or entrance is marked with a capital letter.
18+
Colors are inverted.
19+
20+
### Colors
21+
Colors mark the (loose) thematic category, with some compromises between the building's original purpose and its current lootability.

- Blue - Service and Entertainment. (low loot.)
24+
- Laundromats, gyms, arcade, football field, radio, movie theaters, amusement parks, spas, hair salons, etc
