MothPrinceLucy Posted December 22, 2022 Report Posted December 22, 2022 Moths or various kinds of moths could be baited with moth traps and cultivated for their silk which could be used for a verity of similar, but maybe not all the same, uses as flax fiber and such. There are so many butterflies and even if not as this above suggestion, I would love for there to be moths in the game in general o3o
Anthony frailey Posted December 22, 2022 Report Posted December 22, 2022 one would also think plant fibers like cotton, hemp, could used too, not to mention spider webs found in dungeons. 3
MothPrinceLucy Posted December 24, 2022 Author Report Posted December 24, 2022 Big agree! I would love more interactable stuff personally. My username may suggest a bias, but collecting, farming, breeding and maybe even framing moths? Less or more of this would be really neat >.>

A lot is on the table at present. 1
MothPrinceLucy Posted December 25, 2022 Author Report Posted December 25, 2022 Yes yes for sure! Although I am aware much can to be done and can be added, I mean this with no intended rudeness, I don't really understand the reason for your comment. I wish for this game to thrive and grow as well. I hope I didn't misstep and say something wrong. If I did please clarify, I'd like to not make those missteps in the future. u3u

Also no I haven't. My PC is rather awful, barely 2014 "good". Think I have a GT 710. 8 Gigs of ram at least. I render not a lot of chunks and have most graphics settings rather low.
BigBadBeef Posted December 26, 2022 Report Posted December 26, 2022 You will see them buzzing over lakes during nights. Yellow dots flying around in clusters. 1
Davis Posted January 14, 2023 Report Posted January 14, 2023 I think cotton and hemp would be obvious choices here as well.
Maelstrom Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 As would sheep that grow wool. Perhaps adding alpacas that can be sheared. 1
Khornet Posted February 9, 2023 Report Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Is this about silkworm moths? Because their silk is completely different than flax fiber-wise. And the silk is gained from cocoons - the fully-grown moths themselves are pretty much useless (other than breeding) and genetically stunted due to thousands of years of domestication to the point they can't even fly anymore. All in all, cultivation of silkworms is a very tedious and lengthy process, that includes boiling the silkworms inside their cocoons (to harvest the single-threaded cocoon). Here's a short, but very educational video about the whole process: I'm not opposed to the idea, but I'd suggest a different source of silk that's easier to implement gameplay-wise... it includes giant spiders, and the webs we already have in the game.

Maelstrom Posted February 9, 2023 Report Posted February 9, 2023 Perhaps those flimsy locust things had a more peaceful beneficial role?

Spider webs irl do not have the properties necessary for use as a fiber. They would be great for medicinal use though! I've suggested their use in bandage recipes but it hasn't been implemented. Personally, I'd be more interested in plant fibers. If silkworms are a consideration, they would not be difficult to implement in the game and their fiber has superior insulation qualities so it would even make sense. This video of real-life silk farming on a personal home farm setting is a good example: 1 1
Mysticar Posted February 13, 2023 Report Posted February 13, 2023 Someone say Hemp? ^^ Pointing at Jobediah's excellent mod Weaver's Weed, which I have crudely and inofficcially been updating for my game and sharing to y'alls (with credit to Jobediah, of course). Can confirm it working as of 17.6 (I haven't upgrade my game of later versions as of now). Maybe Tyron could look at it and incorporate it into vanilla? (Probably without the edible aspect. *cough* For medicinal use, of course!)
