The chart and the sea

ACRE has no teleporting. You get around by boat, and the chart shows where you can go.

The chart

Press M on any island to open the chart. It has two tabs: Archipelago, the whole sea, and This island. Esc closes it, except while you’re under way. Then the chart stays up until you land.

Set sail lists where you can go, in this order:

1. Friends’ islands, with their faces (“Maya is home”)
2. Your team’s islands
3. Islands you visited lately
4. Open startup islands
5. Funds

You can search the list. Each row says why you can or can’t land, and one click sets sail. Home and Harbor are always one click away, and H goes to Harbor and back.

You can also walk to the end of your pier: the dock offers Set sail or row out.

Rowing out

Row out on the chart takes a boat out on the open sea for you to steer.

Key	What it does
W A S D or arrow keys	Steer
Shift	Full sail
Click an island	Steer there
E	Land at the island you’re alongside
Esc	Back to where you were

Row somewhere new picks an island at random. Friends’ islands are three times as likely, and open startup islands twice as likely.

What you can see

The sea only shows islands you could land on. Private islands are never named or counted, so nobody can find yours by sailing past it. See Visiting and privacy.

The VC Canal

Off Harbor’s north shore is the VC Canal, a rowing scene with the fund lodges and their jetties. Each dock board shows the fund’s focus and portfolio.
