Silkfarming

[Jake011]

Whats the best way to fill a cupboard with mulberry leaves for silk farming, maximazing the silkcocoons, but not having anyone die?

if you're actually starting to work a silkfarm you'll need way more than 1 cupboard...but each worm eats 4 leaves over 16 hours with a cupboard holding 64 spaces that means up to 12 worms 48 leaves and 4 extra spaces.

though I'd suggest chests(no big decay hits) near your mulberry tree for quicker refills. if you're using a small chest(36 spaces) you'll want no more than 7 silkworms and fill the rest with leaves(1 leaf left when they turn into cocoons) with a larger chest(48 spaces) you can do 9 per chest. you can fit 2 small chests in the place of 1 cupboard so they're best for limited space near a mulberry tree, since the 2 chests will hold a little more and won't explode.

This is amazing, I'm actually looking forward to switching and really killing my travel time w/ leaves. Thanks, you're awesome!
