The HUD or Heads Up Display is a graphical interface overlayed onto the screen to give the player information. It includes a cross-hair, compass, hotbar and the hotkey tool-tip.[1]
Compass
The compass shows the cardinal directions relative to the engineer's current facing and also indicates the directions of vehicles with an icon.[1] It also shows the direction of what seems to be a waypoint.[1]
Hotbar
The hotbar is a list of numbered slots, similar to hotbars found in many other games.[1] Placeable entities such as vehicles and buildings can be placed in the slots, presumably allowing them to be selected and placed.[1]
Tool-tip
The tool-tip menu lists several tool icons and their associated hotkeys.[1] It seems to list the following:
- Q - Build Menu
- F - Demolish
- V - Flashlight
- C - Resource Scanner
- X - Codex
- Tab - Inventory
- Z - Map
Vehicle Status
This is displayed when the player is piloting a vehicle, and gives information about that vehicle, including its current fuel, and an unknown blue bar.
