If one were to say that ELEX triggers my OCD... one might not be wrong.

I keep this (but full map) open in Paint on my 2nd monitor while playing. Blue indicates explored structures, red indicates structures and/or mobs that must be cleared, and green indicates toxic spots.

...and then also a Wordpad open to take notes.

Wordpad? That's cute. :M

Examples of what's lurking behind the map on my 2nd monitor:

I gradually filled it all out during my 1st playthrough. For my 2nd playthrough I've marked the items in gray, and make them white as I obtain them.

You are brainstorming this game like a course of quantum physics. Better not play kerbal space program, it will take you 20 years, four blackboards and few pc monitors given your obsession with details.

The map is by far the biggest disappointment in the game for me. When you design a game-word that requires circumventing difficult enemies and returning to areas after leveling up the fact that you cannot annotate the map is a major disappointment. For Christ's sake its CURRENT YEAR you drunk Germans.

Sale on GOG at the moment.

That said, is the game still wonky as hell, or has there been major patching/overhauls/anything since release?
