How does chat work?

Spirit Crossing has several ways to communicate with other players. What is available depends on your Friendship level with that person.

Proximity Chat

Proximity chat lets you send real-time text messages to nearby players. You unlock it once you reach Friendship Level 1 with another player, which happens when you introduce yourself to them. This change makes it easier to connect and coordinate during co-op activities, while still giving you control over who you chat with.

Before reaching Friendship Level 1, you and a stranger can still communicate by:

• Sitting on a bench together.
• Joining a Fluffalo Train together.
• Using Expressions.

Waystation Communication

Even without proximity chat, players can communicate asynchronously with Waystation members through two tools:

• Bulletin Board — found in the Waystation Vending Machine. Post messages for all Waystation members to read. Great for coordinating building projects and events.
• Signposts with Comments — place signposts in the Waystation or Wilderness for others to leave comments on. Comments stay hidden until liked by at least one friend.

Expressions Menu

Expressions are still available at any time from the quick-action menu. They remain a great way to communicate non-verbally — especially before a Friendship level is established.

Keeping Chat Safe

Spirit Crossing is a welcoming community and we take player safety seriously. If you encounter someone acting against our Community Rules and Guidelines, you can Mute, Block, or Report them directly in-game. See Article "Player safety and community guidelines"
