Game Development: Destruction & Sericulture

[Raephire]

I'm a nature specialist, and I condone this.

Oh man, I caught four breeding pairs (took me three hours), put them in a container and then the server crashed. I bet I lost them all

While i cant connect to server (crash?) i would like to thank devs for that patch.
Yay for nature-oriented :3

Edit: logged. Gotta catch them all :3

[Potjeh]

I can't believe it - they were in my inventory when I logged in

so a cocoon is destroyed if you use it for silk?

Answering some questions.

A male and a female moth will turn into ~10 eggs, with some variance.

Each egg hatches one silkworm.

lol i did crash it, didnt i?

Just tossing it in, but the industry/nature slider doesn't affect silk-making.
Edit: Nevermind, missed the weaving part.

Just tossing it in, but the industry/nature slider doesn't affect silk-making.

Should silk production be helped by high industry, or by high nature? The answer is far from obvious.

Since the process, unlike bloom to wrought iron, is guaranteed to produce silk as an end result, I feel that the extra filaments help quite enough.

Any notes on how easy it is to destroy a kiln or cart, or how much easier it is to destroy a cart versus a kiln? Just wondering about the usefulness of cartgates at this point, or if I should make a hermetic seal around my vault and spawn at the RoB.
