box of crayons

A small box of wax crayons.

Perfect

A box of crayons is a type of initially unidentified trade good. When unidentified, it is displayed as small box. Despite being a trade good, its price is not fixed.

Crayons can be drawn with by interacting with them and selecting draw. This prompts for a drawing subject, specified as a string of text, and a direction. The text input is discarded and one of the objects (not necessarily the visible one) in the adjacent cell in the indicated direction relative to the cell the crayons are in changes its detail color to a random color, chosen from R, W, G, B, M, C, and Y (the same colors as are in the word “crayons” in the item's display name).

There is a 1 in 500 chance for a box of crayons to be “nanocrayons”, whose effect is completely different from ordinary crayons. Drawing with nanocrayons attempts to match the text input against an item blueprint, similarly to the appropriate wish. If it finds a blueprint, a popup appears that says "The picture stretches into the 3rd dimension and becomes real." and the requested object is spawned. This consumes the nanocrayons. (Failing to spawn an object with the nanocrayons does not consume them.)

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

• Ordinary crayons can be a rudimentary way to customize companions or even your own character.
• When testing if a box of crayons is nanocrayons, it might be amusing to try drawing Agate Severance Star, who otherwise does not appear in the game except by wishing.
  • You could also try an arsplice seed, which otherwise may be more difficult to obtain than the tonic it's an ingredient for, Eaters' nectar injector.
