Similar to speech, Natives/Ousiders can't understand the other's messages, and vice versa. It appears as gibberish.

Tree

You can carve a message in Jungle terrain with density ranging from 5 to 9.

• You carve XX onto a tree.

Any character that visits that area will see the terrain description and your message.

• Carved on a nearby tree is XX

If a carved message already exists in the area, you will not be able to carve anything.

• You can't find any room to carve anything.

By chopping jungle to density lower than 5, you will destroy the carving.

• The tree with the carvings is chopped down, blade marks obscuring all trace of what was there.

It requires a knife to carve into trees

Sand

You can draw a message in Beach terrain.

• You draw XX in the sand.

If a drawn message already exists in the area, you will be able to draw over it.

• You draw XX in the sand obliterating what was there before.

Huts

You can carve a message into squares that contain huts.

• You carve XX onto the side of a hut.

Any players in the square will see what you have carved in the hut.

• Carved on the side of a hut is XX

You can scratch out something that has already been carved to write your own message.

• You scratch out what was carved there before.
