Revision 4

Label: Trade is a small cloth label used to mark the contents of a player-built Storage container in Windrose. Each label has a printed icon, in this case the Trade icon, that hangs from a chest, barrel, or crate so the contents can be identified at a glance without opening the container.

In-Game Description

A sign for organized captains who want to remember which treasure is stashed in which chest.

How to Use

Walk up to a placed Storage container and select the Attach Label option from the radial menu. Pick the label from the inventory and it snaps onto the chest. Removing or replacing the label is free. The label is purely visual; it does not lock the container's contents to any item type, but it makes a base with many chests far easier to navigate.

How to Craft

Crafted at a Workbench from 1 Coarse Fabric per label. Coarse Fabric is processed from Flax fibre at a Loom, which makes labels essentially free to mass-produce once a flax farm is running.

Tips

• Stockpile a stack of every label icon at once. Crafting individual labels in the middle of organising a base is fiddly, and the cost is small enough that having the full set ready saves time.

• Group labelled containers in straight rows. Labels read better as a wall of icons than as scattered marks across a room.

• Labels persist through container moves. Picking up a labelled chest and replacing it elsewhere keeps the label attached, so a base reorganisation does not require re-labelling.

Progression Notes

Label: Trade is part of the crafting progression chain rather than a standalone collectible. Use the recipe, station, and ingredient rows to trace what unlocks it, what it consumes, and which linked upgrades or materials should be prepared before crafting it.
