The Crafted Paintbrush is a homemade paintbrush. It does the same work as a store-bought brush for painting walls, items and signs.
It suits a survivor who wants to decorate or mark a base but has not found a real brush. The game counts it as a paintbrush, so it serves in every recipe that asks for one. It is light and easy to carry.
The brush is made by hand rather than found in loot. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The brush is the tool for painting. With paint, it serves the Paint Wall / Item action for colouring walls and some objects. It also serves Apply Wallpaper for covering a wall with paper.
The brush paints simple signs on walls too. The choices are a Skull and arrows pointing right, left, up or down. These signs help mark safe routes, danger spots or the way back to a base.
The brush is kept after each job, so one brush serves for many walls.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Crafted Paintbrush by its type rather than by name.
