Why is there no map/minimap in this game?

[AutumnJelly]

I don't know how many times I got lost in this game, at least a map to already explored areas would be nice

Because it's still being made. Several players requested a mini map or a map in the game already, so it's nothing new. The developers are involved with the forums so they listen and I'm sure they'll do whatever they can. We might get a map or a mini map in the future :D We can pray for it that's for sure. :D

A minimap is planned to be added after 1.0 because of people like you, but it won't be too detailed.

the only location that i really need a map is in the ancient ruins, i get lost in that location so easy that sometimes i think that i'm stupid

Cool! I heard the game is close to 1.0 so that would be awesome

I actually appreciated the lack of a minimap in Slime Rancher. ;) I felt it made the exploration aspect of the game more challenging and also more ... down-to-earth?

I won't throw a tantrum if we get one, though. ;)

there better be an option to turn off the minimap for the more sentient people out there.

Why don't you just not open it then...

Probably because we're talking about a _mini_map - a small map in a corner of the screen that you usually do not need to "open" because it's always there, though some games offer the option to toggle it on or off. What Dii was saying, was that he wouldn't want a minimap that can't be toggled off.
