How do I make paper

[Parasitae]

There's no recipe for paper, you have to travel across the islands to find paper randomly.

[Vendaplay]

Ah that sucks. Thanks man.

We will likely create a way to craft paper in the future or increase the paper drops.

This is an issue I've run into as well. I've found I believe 9 pieces of paper, and still need at least 11 more to obtain all the building pieces. Possibly more, as I'm fairly certain I haven't yet seen everything there is to build, and that's not even counting the (not yet implemented, I think) stone category of structures.

Edit: I do want to add though, I really like this method of unlocking buildables! Having to find structures in the world and sketch them is a very fun idea and, aside from the rarity of paper, feels quite nice so far.

[Mandrake]

Yeah, I have found there are a TON of things I want. lots of little lanterns and lights, tables and such. Remember you can deconstruct all the extra sketchbooks you find - that will give you more paper, charcoal, and wood as well.

[Oth]

Yup, this is actually putting me off a lot in the demo. Certain show-stopper resources like paper are just too damn rare and I'm pretty sure nothing respawns, leading to some pretty gnarly resource starvation you can bump into if you're just trying to experiment.

There is an extra paper right at the starting zone, few steps forward in that little enclave, its inside the little boat wreck you gotta walk around to get outside. I found it today by accident, if you want to go back for it :)

I love the mechanic of using paper to learn recipes. I am both glad by the rarity of paper and very frustrated by it. There are so many details I would be copying into my book to create it!

Perhaps have it as a setting that you can turn on or off, or even better, make it a late game item that can only be unlocked through using a paper mill? This will encourage players to re-visit all of the islands looking for parts of structures to copy.

Awesome game so far, but the sketchbook needs a mini tutorial on how to use it because it does not follow the other in-game interactions.

I‘m having the exact same issue. I hope you are able to figure out a better solution.

There is actually a lot of paper on the map, you just have to be observant and really poke around to find it all. In addition, all of the resources are unlimited, even when hard to find.

If you run out of a resource and the resource is depleted, you can open a new world, load up the resource from fresh islands, and bring it back to continue in your home world. The character and its inventory transport intact between worlds.

Devs have said there will be a way to make paper in the early release.

[Lito the Karl]

There's a cave on the corrupted island closest to the storm. After you take out the node, there's a series of stone benches and each has a sheet of paper on it.

More importantly, your character keeps resources and knowledge across worlds. If you make a second world, go collect all the paper, you can sketch the things you couldn't sketch in the first world. Then you can go back and continue building with your new blueprints.

[dtt.scanner]

FYI, underneath and around those same pedestals are stone pieces that you can sketch to unlock building with stone.

yea ... please do that ... and not only in the future ... do it asap because it is a huge issue.

[Piixelle]

You can craft paper in the game.

It takes 1 x Grasswort, 3 x small plants and 1 x clean water to make paper pulp.

Combine 5 x paper pulp = Paper.
