I’m currently working on a map where it is crucial to the player experience that they see on the resource UI how much gold and how many acorns they have in their inventory. I placed the HUD Controller Device in the world and enabled the appropriate settings, as well as enabling gold UI in the Island Settings, but when in Live Edit or a private playtest code, these are not visible on the UI. As a work around, I have put a sign around the map that says the player will need to check their inventory to see how much gold or acorns they have. I really wish it didn’t have to be this way!

What is the show hud setting on ? Also there is some weird permission heirachy on devices so iirc team setting override island setting idk about hud controller how that fits into it. There is a page somewhere in the docs that explains what overrides what.
also have you tried to put a death zone near you, so you can respawn. as not all UI etc, will function on your first spawn, from my experience and it can be a bit derpy, in when and why it activates. if this could help just a little.
Oh yeah I tried a bunch of different combos with devices and island settings and everything, no luck. Thankfully once I published, after a few updates, the gold UI did start to finally show up, but still no acorn UI sadly
Your problem stems from the fact that you have probably checked this option “Hides the HUD of building resources”; in this case, the gold will not be displayed. You can still hide the wood, brick, and metal resources. I hope this solves your problem. Have a good day.
