The Metal Billboard lets players display a short message to other players. It is notably bigger than a 
Metal Sign. Edit the text as many times as needed with the use key (E, 
, 
).
Construction
The Metal Billboard does not require a foundation for placement, and as such does not interfere with the spawning of natural resources. It does not snap to other structures.
It is possible to carefully place two or more billboards side by side to use as larger display area. If noclipping is set in the server config, and they are carefully placed against a wall, the legs will be hidden inside the wall, just leaving the face of the billboard exposed.
Notes
- The Metal Billboard is treated as a metal structure and can only be damaged by
explosives, the 
Tek Rifle, 
Tek Saddles, a 
Titanosaur, 
Arthropluera, 
Corrupted Creatures, 
Enraged Creatures, 
Titans, 
Bosses, or the 
DodoRex.
Painting and Color Regions
In addition to its preset paint regions, you can doodle on the Metal Billboard by "attacking" it with a 
Paintbrush, which will open the "Apply Paint" Menu. Then, click and drag your cursor over the 3D model (like a paintbrush) to draw anything you want. See Painting for more information on doodling.
For more information on Paint Regions and how to use them, please view the 
Dye, Paintbrush, or 
Spray Painter pages.
