Wool and woolen garments

Wool and woolen garments?

It gets really cold in the cool and icy climates of vintage story, especially on wilderness survival and the furcoat, raw hide clothes AND full bear armor (yes, even polar bear) just won't do. I know there are the Nadiyan fur clothes and the tailor's sami clothes but one of them's a late game solution and the other is exclusive to the tailor and I think there should be a more mid game option open to all classes.

I think wool really fits vintage story and I know there is a mod for it but I think it should be a basegame feature hence it's historically accurate and was a dominat textile used during the medieval and viking ages with up to 90% of all clothes being made of wool during some periods and vintage story already has sheep like the bighorn ram so why not be able to shear them for some wool that could eventually be processed into woolen garments such as woolen pants, hoods, cloaks even knitted woolen sweaters.

There's a mod that does this rather nicely: https://mods.vintagestory.at/wool

There's a periodic forum debate about the practicality of wool in the VS world. Bighorn sheep are not wool producers. I assume they were chosen because of that? I don't know. My argument is that sheep were domesticated to produce wool, so the player ought to be able to shear later-generation sheep for more and more wool. I suspect that something like that will eventually be added, but . Until then, the wool mod is nice.

I want to say that shearing sheep or goats for wool is intended, but I can't recall having seen any particular official statement on it other than cloth weaving being on the roadmap. In any case, without a way to actually process the wool into something useful, there's not much benefit to a shearing mechanic.

+1 for capes. but I'd say they should update the existing clothes a bit to b a bit 3d

 

I also wish there were more hats

On the topic of hats, it'd be nice if hats didn't squash all your hair flat. 
But yes, big supporter of woolen stuff. Wool exists in the creative inventory already!

(I know there is a "woolen" clothing set ingame you buy from traders, but that's just a shirt/pants/boots).
