- Open the craft table. Having collected all the necessary materials, open the workbench, clicking on it with the right button;
- Lay the materials. Place eight sheets of paper according to the 3×3 scheme, leaving the central cell empty;

Usage
After activation, it is necessary to leave the already studied area and start the study of the new square. Use the map to detect new sections of the world, simply moving in different directions and following the card’s readings. If a new section of the world is detected, you can create a new map of this square. This will allow you to save information about this site and will allow you to return to it in the future. Remember that to create a new card of another square, you need to move to a new area and repeat the process of activation and study. Thus, you can continue to open new areas of the world and create new cards.
