I finally worked out how crate+parchment works, it's pretty neat!

I've seen the recipe in the handbook and tried a few times to get it to work. When I've watched other people's streams I don't notice them using this technique so didn't have any insight into how it works.

The problem is that in the handbook it doesn't mention you need to hold an item that can be used for writing (coal, chalk, etc). It makes sense now, and the wiki does provide a bit of a footnote about it, but I'd tried it and it hadn't worked so I just left it.

However, just tied it there, with coal in my hand, used the same keyboard controls as writing on a sign... and boy I didn't expect it to literally draw the item on the parchment. I expected to write on it, like a sign..

You do need to redraw the contents if they change, but I'm still sort of blown away that it creates an image rather than your text.

There are several ways to get parchment, but the easiest I've found is using tongs on scrapped small hides. I had quite a few of these, I don't hunt rabbits, foxes or racoons because they provide little meat, some are bushmeat, and finally they drop small hides that I had nothing I could do with. Well that last bit has changed!
