At the bottom of the screen, in the middle, you can see the '''compass''', which, alongside with the map, will assist your sense of direction.

The compass is surrounded by 6 '''hotbar slots''' for items you can quickly access via hot keys.

At the bottom left corner you can see: your profile name, your current source of oxygen (your suit tank vs. oxygenized interior), your altitude above sea level, gauge bars showing amount of available oxygen inside and outside your suit, respectively, and your '''health''' and '''stamina''' When looking closely at an object, this area may display some info about it, if available. Above this area may appear icons for extreme personal conditions (such as sleep deprivation). The suit battery discharge indicator may also appear here.

At the bottom right corner, there are gauge bars for your '''satiation''' ("hunger") and '''hydration''', and info about… your current objective? (FIXME) Above this area may appear icons for extreme natural conditions (such as a temperature drop, or a sandstorm).

At the top of the screen, in the middle, are displayed: the '''current temperature''' around you; your '''heart rate'''; the '''current time''' and '''day of the week'''; the number of '''days survived''' (Martians call days "sols"). To the left of this area will appear icons for your received and accumulated ''technological points'', which are used to progress through the Tech Tree, unlocking new items, buildings and vehicles.

To the sides of the screen top, you can find the current game version, and hints for hot keys.
