As far as I can tell, no init lines are shown in the Eden Editor which makes it seem less special - might as well use the 2D for everything and 3D just for object placement.

Yeah exactly.

What I'd like to see is the compass as a scalable option in the user interface options, same goes for the grid numbers at the edges of the map.

Can't believe this still hasn't been fixed. All the info you need is in the video R3vo posted. There's a simple solution - just make the compass larger - same goes for grid numbers. Currently map reading is impossible.

Also experiencing this problem. Compass is too small to read on the map screen and double clicking just moves the compass across the map.

The above is exactly what happens with mine. Same version but has been an issue since the game beta!
