Fed up of new players joining and just going braindead 5 minutes in because they have no idea of whats going on, or they're used to other servers maps. Give them a chance by providing them a link to this map!

Probably because it's very subtle and hard to notice unless you're actively looking for it.
It blends in with the UI.

So maybe pointing it out in screaming brightly coloured letters for new players wouldn't be too bad of an idea

You know, color coding those tabs and their corresponding windows isn't a bad idea

In fairness the inline buttons on BYOND are rock stupid useless in most other games and also kind of ugly

Even being moved from the top top right to the right of info / toggles would be an improvement.
Ive seen 4 people this week ask if theres a map or that they're lost which made me make this threat, only to find out I've been missing a big map button for months.
Maybe I am a moron, or maybe its a shitty place for a grey button on a grey background.
