    I played bakerloo today and thought I’d make a concerted effort to hunt every collectible on the line. I’ve managed to pick up most of them, got to the last station and alas somewhere I’ve missed one.

    I ticked off each station as I went and thought I was robust in looking everywhere but I’ve missed something somewhere.

    Is there a way of building in a collectors log that tells me I’ve missed one at Baker Street for example so I don’t have to trawl every station again. Alternatively a map legend that highlights when a station or collectible is in the proximity of collectible marker.

    I’d like to get them all but it’s hard to have the time to remember and know what’s where without trawling a guide

    Thank you.

    I keep record of them with a simple list. It does not solve all issues, but it helps.

    I did this too, the challenge is I took 3 hours running round every station on bakerloo, get to the last stop and somewhere I’ve missed something. I don’t really want to revisit ever single station looking for one or two bits.

    I figure a legend (assassins creed) being an example could highlight the station to look at

    There are some collectible guides online — the Steam ones can be viewed via the Steam overlay if desired. You’d have to compare your list against the guide to see which one(s) you missed.

    Not sure I’d want the devs to give us hints in game as to which ones we missed. (I did spend over four hours looking for the last camera on IoW, so I can sympathize.)

    It would be nice if the map showed the locations of collected ones. At least then you know what you've already got

    That would be nice! (But please add station names first.)

    There is one that is very well hidden. I won't spoil it for those who haven't found it.

    I have had one log to find on NTP for ages. I used the guide to get them in the first place and I haven’t gone back to find it because I remember all the walking I did first time round. The IoW ones were nice and easy, the first route I’ve done all in one go, but I missed the harder one even though I went to the place where it was. I think I’m still missing one on Bakerloo. I have routes where I haven’t even looked for any yet. One day, I’ll get the urge to go on a wander and find the rest of the TSW2020 jobs and I might even consider doing them all again in TSW2. Having some way of hinting the general area of a collectible/job might be good, such as the nearest station. That could go on the map maybe, once they get round to putting any info on it.
