Overview

The Metal Sign lets players display a short message to other players. If more space for a message is needed, the Metal Billboard can be used. Edit the text as many times as needed with the use key (E, , ). To add a second line of text, use <br>.

Construction

The Metal Sign does not require a foundation for placement, and as such does not interfere with the spawning of natural resources. It does not snap to other structures.
