Map At Base

Description
The mod enables the creation of a map hub through the following features:

1) Using a feather pencil (and with a papyrus in the inventory), a survivor may draw their map on the cartographer's desk.
2) Subsequent survivors can learn the drawn map by right-clicking the cartographer's desk.
3) Examining the desk reveals when and by whom the map is last updated.
4) Steps 1-3 can be repeated.

Consequently, the renovated cartographer's desk can efficiently store and distribute map data, at the price of a single feather pencil and a papyrus per update. This greatly reduces the material cost of cartography. To compensate, the craft recipe of the cartographer's desk will be increased by 3 papyrus. Visually, this represents the grid paper on the desk. In the config menu, the amount of papyrus needed to update the map and/or build the cartographer's desk can be adjusted.

Furthermore, this mod makes the mapscroll recipe since its role is fulfilled by the cartographer's desk. To compensate, equipping a compass will give the player access to the cartography crafttab. This implies that the player can craft a mapscroll anywhere, if they have a compass.

OK :)

I also see you have added a config so that players can set these values to 0. It's a good idea.
The mod can then be adapted to each play style. :)

Okay, the mod is updated to require papyrus when drawing on the cartographer's desk.

I am pretty sure that the survivors just have good memory.
Only Wickerbottom actually starts with papyrus.

In a way, each player write on their own map without any pencil when exploring the world. :P
So no pencil use to read the map don't seems too absurd.

Your alternative could do the trick. ;)
It will keep the base desk mechanic, without having to give a map to each player. And so save the pencils for another use like marking small signs. :P

Hello there, thanks for the feedback!

So, you think that the feather pencil cost is fine, but the papyrus cost should increase? I think that what you are saying is right.
When I created the mod, I visualized that the players will just read/write from the same sheet of papyrus. I can see how this logic is faulty.
Though, I am not sure if your suggestion makes sense either. Needing papyrus to read the data implies that somehow information can be copied without a feather pencil.
Currently, I am thinking that the papyrus cost could appear in the writing stage. For example, writing with the feather pencil will checks whether the player has a papyrus in their inventory. If yes, decrement it. Otherwise, display a failure message.
Will this do what you want, or do you think that there is a better way to re-introduce the papyrus cost?

The real annoying thing in the standard cartographer's desk is the cost of the pencil.
Maybe you could keep the paper cost.
For example by adding a small storage to the desk for the paper. And a player will need to have a paper in the desk to get a copy. ;)

In all case, thanks for this mod.
In my opinion, it's better than global position shared map.
Less cheated. :)
