Make shitty cave silk!

[Mario_Demorez]

So you guys add these cave moths. Why not make them more useful? Go over to the current silk moths and copy their code and rename a few things and put it under cave moths. Bam, now jorb can make people happy by making new colored merchant robes! Merchant robes made from cave silk could be a different color! Make haven great again!

Could make them eat cave dust or mushrooms instead of mulberry leaves?

mushrooms

Tower cap spores, of course!

cave dust

While I keep some for the odd desires of villagers, neighbors, and self, I don't think we'd get enough to keep such moths fed.

Actually liking that idea.

inb4 jorb makes them eat cave fern thats so rare nobody will bother to make this sort of silk

jorb might be sadistic, but he's not unreasonable. Mulberry bushes trees have 250 leaves and you can stockpile that many because of it.

Actually it would make more sense if one had to collect moths without being able to breed them. Thus it would be shitty alternative applicable to early game only.
Not that hard to collect these, given they spawn in swarms rather than as single moths.

Not a bad idea! Fixes the food problem and makes sense!

sounds like a very cheap way to mass produce shit silk for best type of chest or very quickly access to merch without bigger effort.

The idea was to mimic how flax and hemp are at the moment, both are similar steps and process but give different final products. if its the same process as Silk but instead of gathering 250 mulberry leaves you have to gather cave dust or mushrooms instead it would actually take longer to produce silk from cave moths, or at least decent quality silk.
