why no map

[Yria]

its hard to not lose orientation in this game

Story reason: ION's mapping module was damaged during the crash. He has to make it with only his compass/scanner.

So why dosen't Ani have one??

Hey Jock, she is a service unit and not made for exploration. But in the end is was a design decision to not have a map. We wanted to encourage exploration.

Dam! (Ha!) still why not...LOL!

Or why can't Ion (or Ani) be allowed to copy scan the one in that village in the desert for an example or as they explore, they gain access to the immedite area by exesperince.

Ion is supposed to be an explorer? Right! (or I thought so?? Ha!)

Yes it can be hard sometimes. It is good to be remembered of own sense of environment though.
