System Messages

System Messages are messages you receive at the bottom of your map screen and in your Message screen. Usually they are the result of an action completing, or being unable to perform an action.

As this section grows, the easiest way to navigate it will be to page search (ctrl + F) and copy portions of the message that do not contain names or numbers. For example:
Rather than "you focus on symo and fall asleep", use "and fall asleep".
