The end of prehistory

I haven't got a chance to play yet, Heard it was bugged anyway. Wonder if it would be worth writing down some crafting recipes for future generations. Lots of new players need teaching and alot of people don't have the time or patience.

The thing is currently the limit is based off character limits. The only people who can get the maximum use out of paper are elders who could recite town rules off a piece of paper.

Obviously there has to be some sort of limit on the thing otherwise we'd have three year olds spamming giant bubbles of prewritten text.

I think Jason should keep the writing limit as is: Old people generally set the rules and as such should be able to write the most on a piece a paper. However, I think at some point in the late teens or early adult life people should be able to state the whole piece of paper. This way you don't get these weird situations where something important is left off.

Ex: Kill all black (bubble babies)

I mean duh you should just write cursed but I could see something like that actually happening.

Leveraging the speech system is a quick hack. I'm hoping Jason implements a proper UI later on so that we can have books. Only being able to read a book when you're old defeats the purpose of writing anything meaningful down.

Yeah, I'm still thinking about how this will work.

I guess it could be simply a matter of "reading age," where you simply can't pick up a written piece of paper until age 10 or something.

But keeping the speech limit for what you can write makes sense. Elders can say more, and write more.

10 year olds don't write novels in real life.

Are you sure Jason?

Okay well I had a play around with it and I didn't mind it too much. You'll find my piece the in Telelander village.

Should be able to make books out of multiple papers.

If anyone figures out how to trigger the bug to make other items speak we could just inscribe how to make objects on said object

*picks up clay bowl* :Use round stone on clay then fire in kiln.
