Silk making, cupboard layout

[ArtemisGray]

Hi. I'm making some silk.



Is this an ok way to feed silkmoths? they need 4 to grow into moths right?

I can't be on consistently enough to not maybe miss feeding them if I had more worms in the cupboards. So is this ok?

Is there a better way?

Perfect =)

Thanks Kaizokuroof!



So I hatched the eggs, stuffed the worms into a cupboard with the first pictures layout. Got myself a nice piece of silky silk.

Now I have these cocoon things. It says on the wiki when a silkmoth dies it produces between 6-10 eggs.

Do both the male and female moths produce eggs when they die?

Is this the correct amount of cocoons to have in a cupboard ( or that amount of male & female silkmoths ) ?

Halp. Need silk.

You need a pair of F/M silkmoths for them a to produce the 6-10 eggs.

Thanks!

Is it uncommon to get 10 eggs from every pair in a cupboard? I'm unsure about exactly how many pairs of silkmoths I should stuff in my cupboards to not waste any eggs somehow or not get as many as I could.

Sometimes you get really crappy luck so you should err on the side of safety. If you wind up with too much eggs you can just hatch less next generation. So yeah, hatching 1/4 - 1/3 of the cocoons should do it.
