Object descriptionsIt's now possible to describe objects.
Most of objects, for which it's enabled, can be described during manufacturing (if it is, then you'll notice a new checkbox on build confirmation page) and later, using a specific tool.
There is only a single tool for every object. How to learn which one?
It's based on tools required to manufacture an object. If there are multiple tools, then it's the first one you find on the following list: needle, pliers, crochet hook, peen hammer, hammer, carving knife, chisel, knife.
It's currently possible to describe most of clothes, weapons, shields. Describing object costs time, both when you describe object at manufacture time or later.
When you have a suitable tool, then you'll probably notice a new scissors button which is used to change object description. You select an object from the list and it starts a desc change project. Easy.
If you can't change object's description, then, most likely, it's currently impossible.
The exceptions are: barrel, oil drum, container, small silo, chest, apothecary kit, tin can, large wooden crate, small barrel, large barrel, tin can, small wooden crate, steel flask, small glass bottle, large glass bottle, reed basket, grass basket. They use slightly different system: can be described using labels made of rice paper. Such label is like a normal tool used to change description, but:
1. labels deteriorate quickly when being used to perform such project
2. labels can't be repaired, so most likely you'll need more than one to finish it.
It's possible that you will need more - or less - than one label, if description change project is short or long.
I think that's all. Please, remember to read object description guide before setting any description. Please don't make redundant descriptions.
Short FAQ:
