I did use the search feature to look for an answer to this question and could not find anything using the search terms I entered.
I am a world building GM/DM. I realize FG is not really designed for the purpose of world building. However, I've made the decision to try and enter as much information about my game world as possible into FG. I am wondering if it is possible, or maybe already exists the capability to add a separate sidebar button titled "Atlas" with a corresponding Atlas Entry. It would, in my view, be identical to the Story entry, but have it's own database fields/entry(s).
Ideal state would be to have a short data entry template with something like: Name, type of entry, and a text entry box. The type of entry field would be a drop down that is a (sub)-category for the information (Is this a City, Region, Point of Interest, or Religion Entry?) As an example.
Right now, I'm using story entries to accomplish this. I'm just wondering if there's an already an existing extension or capability to create one, to fill this request. I'm currently using FGC but may be switching over to FGU within the next two weeks. I am working in the 5E rule set.
And yes, I know about tool sets like World Anvil and others for campaign organization. However i am, A) Trying to consolidate my data sources to make it easier on me and my players, and B) Don't want to have to pay subscription fees for every cool tool out there...I'll be broke quick.
Here's a couple images of what I'm doing right now so you can maybe see a little better what I'm asking for:
Right now, I'm using a (City Name - Region) naming convention. This allows me to refine certain searches. So if I want to see all the cities is the region of Nysia, I can just type Nysia in the search bar. I would prefer to be able to use sub-categories, but I don't know if there's a way to do this in FG.
