change to coordinate system

[hazy tangle]

It’s personally bugging me right now, so here I am.

If you look at the compass at the top left of the screen you see first the value for the east/west direction, then north/south and then your current height. Which you could -falsely in this case- assume that this refers to the X Y Z coordinates.

But in every other instance in the game like setting markers or pinging nodes/veins it is not.

This just feels weird to me because it only seems to make sense when in ego perspective AND looking north. It also contradicts how we ascertain our location in real life using latitude and longitude.

Especially when you open the map, or otherwise consider a top down view, the Z coordinate should refer to the “depth”, meaning the height level.

So please, either change the way the coordinates are displayed to make it more uniform. Or maybe at it as an option that you can exchange the Y and Z coordinates in the settings.

Thanks

Actually, the height variable can be any of them, different programs use a different direction variable, because in the end it doesn't matter which one is actually used, it all depends on what each individual user is used to

here is an example of how different programs interpret this

In my country from XYZ coordinate Z is the height, and in real life any aspect working with 3D like designing machines, drawing blueprint it is still Z is the height the 3rd coordinate. At this point Foundry still time to time trick me with the scuffed system :D

this one is not writen in stone. u can change it and name it how ever u want. ^^

in my country we are taught in school how the x y and z do not matter, because they are all interchangeable
