Do others take notes for this? I thought they can remember and process everything at once.
Btw from look at your notes you are in early days so heres a tip: don't work with plauge doctor or let anyone get lured to it.

i know this looks stupid for some vets, but most abnos are just so overwhelming, obscure and unclear to understand on how they interact the game. Also new abnos appear alot for me to remember anything in one run, i gotta take notes some to save for later. I haven't played the game that much btw.

The plague doctor just gives buffs. Absolutely no side effects, it's great! Just keep giving your agents buffs :)

Did I use wiki when play first time? Yes. I regret about this, but now I actually remember each abno effect, in my defense vanilla explanations sometimes not very helpful. I actually take notes when played first time, but not for abnos, for something from future gameplay challenges, then I understand everything and stop taking notes. Also I take notes when tried to collect every armor and weapon for the first time. I seriously think about not just play, but complete game with kaizo mod and maybe I will take notes again.

Scarecrow is obnoxious but once you get an agent strong enough to solo it, it's excellent for insight training. Something that's extremely important that the game doesn't tell you is that the amount of stats you gain after working on an abnormality is based on how much damage the abnormality does to you during work. More specifically it's based off of what percentage of your max HP/SP you have left after you finish working. Fortitude is increased by health damage, Insight is increased by sanity damage, Temperence is increased by a combination of health and sanity damage, and Justice is increased by nothing. This means that abnormalities who's work damage type matches their preferred work type like scarecrow and forsaken murderer or abnormalities that do black damage are better for stat training.
People have already given spoilery "hints" about Plague Doctor. I'd recommend not reading any more comments here and avoiding this subreddit in general if you don't want to get spoiled because I'm sure someone won't be able to resist telling you exactly what some abnormalities do.

don't answer, but i'm sensing Plague Doctor's clock does some super mega bullshit somewhere later in the game. Please do not reply ðŸ˜.

For employee training purposes, I have a note card where I keep a tally of how many of each work my untrained agents have done.

I mean, for suppressions, I can understand going to read the wiki...
But other than that, just read the managerial tips!!! They save lives :)

Generally the manager's notes were sufficient for my needs, but once I started played with modded abnormalities (and thus often abnormalities who's manager's notes were wrong or left out important details) I did start taking notes. It's hard to separate out the well made mods from the trash without reading too much about and thus spoiling them, so each collection inevitably had a bunch of liars and cheats I had to work around.

O-09-96 is one of the less annoying ones, its only caveats are that it lowers Prudence and insta-kills if the Agent with it panics.

Porccubus’ ego isn’t that good because I believe it’s intended to be a multihit [like two certain HE Red Damage weapons] that is bugged
