Feather Pencil to work like Razor


Recommended Posts

Either it should have lots of durability or it should be infinite durability item, but not like it is now. Not only does it just stack to 10 for what it's worth, not only does it require 3 ingredients inconveniently to craft such a basic thing (please remove the twig requirement from the crafting recipe!) but you also only get to use it for ONE mini sign marker. I don't want to sit around with a boomerang or do something this stupid just to farm crow feathers for half an hour or more just so I can mark everything. The razor is infinite durability which doesn't make all too much sense, but it's convenient, and so you could do the same with the feather pencil or just have lots of durability on it and maybe even not require any station to craft it, it's a very simple item after all! At the end of the day you can throw them into the fire if you suddenly have feather pencils piling up somewhere. The point of the item was to make things easier for you, yet here I am, wasting way too much time grinding just to get feathers so that one day maybe I can mark all of my chests for that QOL benefit.

No, having a black feather sink is a good thing.

Not when that sink is so bottomless it creates surprise time sink you have to grind your way through to get significant benefits from. I would rather just make a few feather pencils I can use for dozens of markings and feed the rest of the feathers to fire as I can very much just do that. Free ashes is a bonus if I really wanted some. Overabundance of not-so useful items is a whole beast of an optimization task to tackle in and of itself, throwing grind requirement is just putting tape on a gaping hole of a problem. I still see rot and rotten eggs around worlds that have lasted for a while to this day and it drives me mad.

several uses at the very least would be a reaaally nice change. 

Naturally occurring jet feathers from pengulls are never enough for me and I don’t even make that many chests/signs. Getting a bunch of them as anyone other than Wickerbottom/Walter is a pain. 

not even buzzards are guaranteed to drop them.. i really think they should considering the hassle required to kill them.

Youve clearly never brought a catcoon to your base and put some seeds next to it lol

I suggested in the past an upgraded Feather Pencil made of a Moose feather + Skittersquid ink when the mob was released. Some sort of quill with durability would be welcome but I like the first one the way it is given it’s useful in utility and to consume the easiest feather to amass in large amount (well actually it would be the moose feathers but...)

I also suggested using pencils to draw or write things on the map with that ink at the desks but I surely went too far with that...

That’s just my take on it, I prefer DST with ressources being useful over getting a few and be done putting them in the trash after the first years.

Would be nice if my friends didn't pick monster classes so I could befriend normal catcoons but I suppose I could make a catcoon farm with gates?

now that the new crafting menu makes the issue of scrolling through bloated tabs nonexistent, id really enjoy if there were versions of feather pencils that took malbatross/down feathers to craft, just as a way to spice up farming them with different tasks and some visual variety

Friendly catcoons should not be attacking Webber and Wortox. (Friendly mobs, in general, appear to ignore a lot of things, like how Friendly Bunnymen won't care if you carry meat.)

I think I'd actually bother labelling my chests this way

+1 chest labeling being so cumbersome, time consuming and resource heavy is one of the reasons i just keep my stuff on the ground for hundreds of days, waiting for pengulls to die off and produce enough feathers. Even then i keep postponing it because it's so bad.

 

Feather pencil should be at least 5 uses and labeling should be much easier - something like press the sign and pick the item from a list or drag the item on the sign (in your inventory).

 

@ZombieDupe like @minespatch said, malbatross (and even goose feathers) should have much more uses. So even if feather pencil is one use only, goose should be 10 and malbatross 20 or something.
