Revision 6

Decoration: Canopies is a single-use Recipe Paper in Windrose. Reading it permanently unlocks: Three Rope & Cloth Canopies. Simple protection from the sun and rain.

Like every decoration blueprint, the unlocked pieces are placed during base building and contribute to your home's Comfort rating once set down.

How Recipe Papers Work

Recipe Papers are looted in the world: most often from chests in pirate camps, ruins in the Coastal Jungle, and points of interest scattered across the archipelago. Some merchants in Tortuga also rotate a small selection of plans through their stock. The paper is consumed when it is read. Reading it adds the listed entry to the relevant crafting station's recipe list permanently for that character, with no further fee.

What It Unlocks

Reading the paper unlocks Three Rope & Cloth Canopies at the Workbench. Simple protection from the sun and rain.

The pieces are cosmetic furnishings rather than tools or storage. Each placed piece adds to the room's Comfort total. The three canopies join the wider family of canopy pieces, alongside the plain Canopy, the Arched Canopy, and the Canopy with Netting used on fishing piers.

Building Set

This recipe is part of the early-game Jungle Survivor set, a wood-and-rope building style fitted to the Coastal Jungle biome. Collecting and reading every paper in the same building set gives a coherent visual style across walls, furniture, and decoration pieces.

Comfort and Placement

Placed decoration pieces feed the home Comfort rating, which raises the quality of your living space. The Comfort bonus from a given decoration sub-category does not stack: setting down a second piece of the same sub-category does not add more Comfort, it only changes the look. For the largest Comfort gain, spread placements across different decoration types rather than crowding several copies of the same piece into one room.

Where to Find

Drops most reliably from looted chests in pirate camps and ruined points of interest, with occasional appearances in cargo crates from defeated NPC ships and in random trader stock at Tortuga. Once read, the unlocked entry is bound to the character that read it; share-base members must each find and read their own copy.

Properties

Tips

• Carry duplicates as trade bait. Until a base stockpiles every recipe paper for a building set, an extra copy is a strong barter chip with other crews.

• Read papers at a base, not on a ship. Some plans add bulk decoration sets that flood the crafting menu, and being at a workshop helps preview new entries immediately.

• Once read, the unlock is permanent for that character. Reading a second copy does nothing, so a duplicate paper is best traded or sold.

• Mix decoration types for Comfort. Because matching sub-category pieces do not stack their Comfort bonus, one of each unlocked piece is more efficient for raising a room's rating than several copies of the same one.
