Would you like to have signs in game? This would help us with sorting our storage areas and would just help immersion in general.

Signs and labels have been something brought up many times, definitely something we all want to see ingame someday no doubt :)

I see why i could vote "no" : there are always people with superfunideas going to put some signs with the "F" world...

But Yes for all the others.

Search is your friend you know!

Thank you for bring it up again however, I think the ability to add information to the game for players from players is always a good idea.

The world is in ruins and you guys think that putting up signs is a priority. Unreal....

I voted no btw

I voted yes, low profile signs where you have to interact with it to read it could be easy to create and not any more of an immersion breaker than baskets out in the wilderness.

if it was a real life situation I would think signs would be higher on the list of importance then stone walls would be. signs like 'please help me I am over here'...perhaps?

If you're a weak person who doesn't know how to live off the land/survive then yes you are right. Im a rugged ol'beast I guess.

One of the first things you need to do is find others. Why do you think humans build communities? because they like to place dice with each other?

If it was the end of the world and we were rebuilding... I would rape and pillage anything in my path. I would not want to be a part of any community, the less I have to share the longer I can survive. The less idiots I have to teach things to the less headaches I have. See where Im going with this? That's how I roll.

and a few thousand years of history and a great deal of academic study strongly suggests that you would lose.

see you in game!

Lol are you grouping yourself with the likes of Genghis Khan? It seems like you may take this GAME too seriously.

I am going to guess that Genghis Khan used signs at some point early in his army building career.

besides, we know how to build tents but we dont know how to write and X on a wooden stick?

+1 for bringing this up again

A couple different types of small signs would be very easy and quick to code. Would help tribes in that each player's tent house could have their name in front and would also help them organize storage areas. You should definitely be able to type your own message into the sign, but have a profanity filter in place to keep people from typing ridiculous things into it.

*edit for new idea*

Maybe also have a way to have a larger sign at your City's entrance with the name of the city/tribe?

I could live with just small signs that only had about 10 characters in the length as a starter. However I do like the idea of larger signs but make it such that it can only be placed in zones not out in the wilderness.

I would perfer that homesteads didnt have big signs its a bit of a immersion killer but I can just see the QQ over disallowing signs on homesteads would create

So you're a solo player Blackzilla? No tribe for you huh?

Big sign on a homestead... yea, kills it for me too... but a nice sign out front that might state "Toolcrafter on Duty" or something along those lines

Signs make sense on Tribal grounds or homesteads. I would also like the ability to name buildings and baskets.

Signs for the storage areas is a good idea.

I don't know about your area but ours quickly gets out of control. People start to put loot/stuff anywhere the find a space. I have tried to organize the storage bins by Type = grass here, misc scav items there, metal parts over there etc = it ends up being a mess no matter what method I have tried.

Signs that actually SHOW the tribe member Where to put items would be a big help!
