Shannabul Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Piece of Chalk! (Item Suggestion) As a another way to communicate with other players in Don't Starve Together (without necessarily being there to chat with them) how about findable (or craftable?) piece of chalk. It could be used to draw symbols/ messages on the ground, as directions or warnings of danger or even to play tic tac toe with others for entertainment during the long nights??????

Hugo M. Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Why not just use papyrus instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeklo Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I was hoping this was what you were gonna suggest and it was! I totally agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyromailmann Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Why not get a rock with a piece of written papyrus attached to it and throw it at players? That seems totally perfect and no one could possibly troll anyone with that! Anyways the idea isn't the best due to waste of resources for something to be washed out by rain.

DarkReaper115 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Servers will be filled with drawings of crudely-made weeniersCan't you already do that with walls? or just letting some items dumped in the floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDeusMachina Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Papyrus and charcoal, we have everything we need, only need to make it work together! Could be some note, just like in the last puzzle. You use the charcoal on the papyrus and you can enter a message (limited length). The papyrus becomes a note. When you examine the note, the text appears above it. A note could or could not be used as a papyrus equivalent for crafting (to be determined). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrToasty Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 What about just being able to add text to signs, and when you inspect (examine) them, your character says what is written? The sign object is already in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Letter W Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Maybe it could be used to write on signs instead of the ground."Maxwell was here, Wilson is a loser" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrayfish Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I would just prefer being able to write on Signs instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamazacat Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Well... chalk is literally thousands of exoskeletons of dead sea creatures effectively "cementing" together to form sedimentary rock. As a biologist, I'm torn between having a crafting recipe for it or actually mining it from cliffs by the sea (as that's where chalk deposits most famously are - see the white cliffs of Dover, for example). Having a recipe would be better for balance, but the scientist in me screams at the very prospect. It's a toughie. Servers will be filled with drawings of crudely-made weeniers I'll be a proud artist if this idea comes into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayy Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It seems like a good concept, but it wouldn't be used much due to standard chat being available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRainbow Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I like the chalk idea! It'd be great if we could write on signs, but with chalk, you can mark things on the ground.You could mark the directions to the nearest pig village, for example. And you could draw. You can't draw on a sign if you'd only be able to type text. We do need writeable signs tho.I like the chalk idea!

Kukela Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Chalk messages on the ground (Camp <-) or (Cave North) or small messages like that which get washed away by rain - lovely idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
