Rework Postbox

Postby Frogg » Tue May 05, 2026 12:22 am

Please rework the Postbox. It’s a very cool structure but currently quite useless.
Image
Allow players to craft a “Letter” curio (just an item, not an actual letter).
A Postbox needs to be claimed like a Study Desk to send/receive Letters.
The Postbox occasionally checks its inventory for Letters to send. Players can add and remove Letters at will.
Players have no control over where a Letter is sent. Maybe a global pool handles it.

Letters always start at Q10 and increase in quality each time they are delivered. This process repeats until someone removes the Letter from circulation.
Maybe Letters can upgrade into different kinds of letters (Complaint, Love Letter, Questionable Letter or Failed Deliveries)

Letters could keep a history of recipients and dates (for fun).
A Postbox score that increases when sending highQ letters. Higher score = receive more and better Letters.

This would be a community effort to create high-quality Letters and would make the game feel more alive.

I think it would be fun if you could mail to people via their Hearth Secret :)
The existence of a girlfriend implies the existence of a girlfoe & that is the service I'll be offering.
