There are a lot of journal entries in the game and reading them carefully is very important if you want to know where to go next.

But you normally can't read them as you go because the game does not pause when you open the databank. So you can drown if you try it out in open water.

That means you normally build up quite a few entries when you get back to base. If you go through and read them you can end up burning through a lot of food and drink while you are reading.

If however you sit in a chair while you read you don't burn any food or water. Try it for yourself. 😃
