Mailbox

Post by SirTox »

A simple mailbox. You can build it close to your claim and everybody can put a parchment into it. And maybe only the owner can open it.

I vote large wax tablets made of wooden frame and beeswax, like a runestone but temporary messages. I thought that's what runestones were when I first started playing, and was disappointed to learn differently.

You can easily make one by using parchment/basket. My village has a post office system already.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Being successful isn't just about hard work and succeeding, it is also about picking yourself up when you fail.

Cheaper, reusable, and it's not exactly incredibly beneficial so it shouldn't be expensive. Wax tablets are also fitting to the game's time period, and would provide a new use for beeswax.

cheaper? a wax tablet requires access to wheat to make a beehive, wax output is finite, and it would require a board or boards.

a parchment requires a rabbit skin and a drying rack.

no need to draw and code in a new item that accomplishes the same purpose.

...whoops. I've never made parchment, and apparently I overestimated the cost. Still, reusability is a good thing. They could be used for noticeboards.


Edit: never mind, I think I like this idea better. viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6256
