Talk:Object descriptions

Storage descriptions

from Discord#implemented_changes on 2021-12-28:

As of now, the following storage items no longer use paper labels as their tool for making a custom description, but instead use the standard rules for description tools. (As described on Object descriptions http://wiki.cantr.net/index.php/Object_descriptions) 

Apothecary kit, Barrel, Bookcase, Chest, Container, Cupboard, Glass vase, Large barrel, Large wooden crate, Marble pedestal case, Oil drum, Paper bag, Rattan bookcase, Rattan chest, Shipping crate, Small barrel, Small silo, Small wooden crate, Steel flask, Stone pedestal case, Wheeled display case, Wicker bookcase, Wicker chest, Wood display case, Wooden coffin

Describable Objects and the Tools Used

Adding all of the tools that can alter the items that can have a customized description:

• Talk:blowing iron --> blowing iron
• Talk:bodkin --> bodkin
• Talk:carving knife --> carving knife
• Talk:chisel --> chisel
• Talk:crochet hook --> crochet hook
• Talk:grinder --> grinder
• Talk:hammer --> hammer
• Talk:knife --> knife
• Talk:knitting needles --> knitting needles
• Talk:paper label --> paper label
• Talk:needle --> needle
• Talk:fur paintbrush --> fur paintbrush
• Talk:peen hammer --> peen hammer
• Talk:pet brush --> pet brush
• Talk:pair_of_pliers --> pair of pliers
• Talk:scissors --> scissors
• Talk:soldering iron --> soldering iron
• Talk:trowel --> trowel

This is a very big job, and it's going to take time. In each of the respective tool talk pages, I've added all of the items whose description can be altered by that tool. The eventual goal is to add the new variable to each manufacturing infobox. In the meantime, these links can at least show the wiki user what each tool can alter.

Note that what this list does not show are those items where a custom description can be applied upon creation, but cannot be altered once that item is created. For example: stone tombstone. Also not listed are the tools and items to alter building descriptions.
