Analog Communications

Addon dedicated to retro styles of communication

This is a project for intended for Jerry city but I feel it is useful to other servers as well!

Description: This mod add new items for communication notably phones (stationary and mobile), envelopes and notes. The purpose of these is to add more flavor to otherwise anticlimactic actions, like approving citizens with a stamped letter or calling security to a ongoing situation in town hall. In the case of mail there are guarantees that don't exist in normal gameplay such as a sealed envelope, containing information such the class whom they were sealed by, with notes can be signed by individuals.

The mail features can be used right out of the box but stationary phones require a bit of setup.
