[[Lime.owot]]'s Network project is meant to provide a better moderated, less toxic chat environment that can be accessed from multiple worlds with the use of a script. It was formally publicized in October 2025 as an alternative to the more unpleasant Global Chat. Unlike Global Chat which is only moderated by [[FP]], Network currently has four moderators in lime, [[Katiserie]], [[e_g.]], and [[Falling1]]. | |||

By default, the color of a user's chat username is set to their canvas color. If their canvas color is pure black (#000000), their chat color is selected randomly from a list of 11 colors: {{Main_color|#660066}}{{Main_color|#003366}}{{Main_color|#ff9900}}{{Main_color|#ff0066}}{{Main_color|#003300}}{{Main_color|#ff0000}}{{Main_color|#3a3a3a}}{{Main_color|#006666}}{{Main_color|#3399ff}}{{Main_color|#3333ff}}{{Main_color|#000000}}. They can also customize it separately using the /chatcolor command. | |||
If the user's nickname matches their username (case-insensitive), their username shows up in bold lettering. | |||
As a separate feature, world owners can customize the color of both the chat's border and the messages themselves. However, this is only accessible through the [https://github.com/system2k/NodeWorldOfText source code version of OWoT.][[File:Countrysim owot.png|thumb|It is possible to set the color of chat messages.|none]] | |||
