Silk Farming Rework

[arcolithe]

*cough*
just figure out the formulas so jorbs workload decreases => jorb might consider this faster!

[Thaydi]

+1, would turn silkmaking into something funny!

[Schattengaenger]

Would be nice if we could revive this idea.

[jorb]

Will consider.

Thanks Jorb you are the best!!!

Great idea and a lot of thought put into it. +1 to Silkworm Trays and especially to stacking filaments.

Also, let me just point out how nice this forum was 3 years ago. No shitting on OP's head, no namecalling... good old days ^_^

+1 great idea, and would also look cooler than a room filled with cupboards

i'd get an RSI filling treepots of 16 soil 64 soil

4: This is the step that I would liked reworked the most. Now its time to move all of our hatched worms into cupboards full of leaves. I never liked this part and its always seemed weird. So time to take some advice from real life silk farmers. Basically the silk worms are placed onto racks with what i like to call pizza trays and there they eat leaves. It would be awesome to see wooden racks made that would accept silkworm trays just like cheese racks do. Each tray would have space for possibly 16 worms and the rack would take 4-6 trays. I was thinking that maybe the racks or trays themselves had to get loaded with leaves much like a tree planters pot is loaded with dirt. A tool tip would display how many leaves are inside a tray or the whole rack. Once all the worms turn into cocoons you would right click on the rack and click collect to get all the trays in your inventory. Then you would right click on each tray to collect the cocoons. Or you could just right click the rack to collect all the cocoons while the trays stay inside the rack.

What about, instead of having a leaves added count (it could still show a count if that'll be helpful) your entire racking system works the same way as racks with cheese trays, except that an entire rack gets a leaves filling bar just like fodder in a chicken coop?

In theory yes the racks or the trays would have a fodder bar or something similar.
