Mailbox
Build a mailbox in front of your house and let your friends leave you letters.
- Anyone can write, even inside your ward: walk up, press E and type a letter of up to 300 characters. Type
\nfor a new line. Building and removing the mailbox are still protected by the ward. - Anonymous letters: press Shift + E instead of E to write without signing. The writer's name is not stored anywhere.
- Only the owner (whoever built it) can read the letters.
- The owner is notified anywhere: a sound, a message ("Nova carta de Fulano!") and a temporary marker on their map (only they see it).
- The red flag goes up while there is unread mail, and the owner gets a reminder when coming home.
- Letters are shown just like rune stones, including the decorative rune text.
- Read, re-read and delete:
- E: read the next new letter. With nothing new, it cycles through the old ones.
- Shift + E: delete the letter you just read.
- Up to 20 letters per mailbox. Letters are saved with the world.
- Like a chest with items, a mailbox with letters can't be removed with the hammer: delete the letters first. (If it is destroyed by damage, its letters are lost.)
- English and Brazilian Portuguese.
Building it
Hammer → Furniture → Mailbox. It needs a Workbench nearby and costs 4 Wood + 1 Copper.
Installation
Every player should install the mod, because the mailbox is a new piece and players without the mod can't see it.
The server doesn't need it, but installing it there is recommended: then players without the mod (or with a different version) can't join. Installing through r2modman / Thunderstore also installs the dependencies.
Configuration (per player)
In game, press F1 (Configuration Manager) and find Mailbox. Changes apply immediately.

Good to know
- If the owner is offline, the letter waits in the mailbox: the flag is up and they get a reminder when they come home.
- Letters are only shown to the owner in game, but they are stored in the world save, so don't write real secrets.
