-===== World Setup =====
+~~NOTOC~~
-There's an awful lot you can do to customise your world - so much so that it may appear rather daunting :). This section attempts to cover all the main areas of setting up your world that are controlled through settings or configuration files rather than stuff you can script.
+===== World Setup Overview =====
+This section attempts to introduce you to the main concepts of world creation in The Universal.. and give you some guidance on how to go about building your world.
-Often theres many different ways of creating the effect you're after,
 <note tip>
-If you're just starting out as a world builder, please go through the First Time World Owner's Guide, after which you'll probably have worked out whether this is the kinda thing for you or not.
+If you're just starting out as a world builder, be prepared for a long slog ahead. World building is complicated and time consuming - don't expect to have your own Econ-RPG-combat game ready without a lot of effort!

+===== World Setup Introduction =====
+=== The In-Game World Editor ===
+When you're on a world you've got powers on, **F10** will take you to the world editor.
+Core behaviour of your world is controlled via the [[Settings|'Settings' menu]] - the settings file is a set of controls and values that you can edit through the in-game editor. Settings includes such things as the length of the day, the speeds of your vehicles, number of denarii per sheckle etc.
+You can change the models and textures used on everything in your world through the [[Graphics menu]], and you can modify the landscape and environment through the [[Landscape Menu]].
+You can also change the world's buildings, either by script or by setting up item chains and production rates in the [[BuildingsEditor|'Buildings Editor' tool]]. You can also script just about every game behaviour, using the [[scripting:introduction_to_events|event scripting system]].
