Signs. Come on, it goes without saying

It's a minor thing, sure, but one we definitely need.

Simple items, crafted out of wood planks or even just with pixels, that allow you to write a message on them after being placed. You or other players can then read this message in a pop up when the sign is activated, same as talking to an NPC.

I play on a mutiplayer "city building" server. We've all expressed the desire to be able to communicate with one another via signs, whether they be temporary messages like "don't build above this, I'm adding onto it later" or "the crops are free to take, just replant the seeds" or simple plaques on structures that credit the creator.

 

Devs, ADD THIS NOW

I don´t know how to code, but it can´t be that hard to take the same setup they have for NPC´s and put it in something else... or can it?

TUNTUNTUNTUNTUUUUUN

 

Yup. Signs. Need 'em. I'd like to label chests

 

Alternatively, you could maybe have a Labeller tool, so that you could also label buttons in your control center, without having some simpleton wooden sign break the style of your High-Tech build.
Like say, Hmm, my Tagger-Gun idea...

If referring to my own idea is breaking rules, or somehow bringing about discomfort, please tell me.
I want the same as all of you, a Better game. If you allow it Squiver, I can also post a link to it.

 

Yes. Like a Nano Quill. Cool.

 

I agree.

 

Gotta sign on this one for sure

Signs or signposts or anything really along this line is a must I gotta say. Heck even if it's a lil computer monitor you can stick onto things and give it a msg.

 

It would be great if the messages actually displayed, but using to read is fine too.

 

Go for it, I don't mind. I don't know about forum rules but personally I don't have a problem.

If I am breaking forum rules by posting a link to my own idea, please tell me, and I will gladly remove it.

 

How about a large digital sign board that displays messages?

 

Should indeed also be added!
Devs, add everything in this thread.

Wooden Signs, Pixelated-Message boards, Labeller Tool, all the things!

 

I think signs should be another type of furniture, that you can craft from the gems/metals/woods you find. That way if you've got a high-tech build you don't need to have a wooden sign, and if you have a medieval village then you don't have to use futuristic signs.

And then also monitors, because monitors are cool.

 

But still, can be quirky having to fit in signs in between all the buttons of your command center to label what they do.
Thus, the Labeller tool would be nice to have too.

 

First I wanted to contribute to this discussion but after reading alls the posts, everything I want to say is:

Add all the things!

 

I concur with everything in this thread.

 

I do grow tired of rummaging through a million chest before finding the one I wanted. So yes, signs are a must.

 

This is probably going to be added. By probably I mean definetly yes.

 

Defiantly? Who are you Defying?
