The breeding of silkworms
- You can build 'and use' a Silkworm Breeding when you learned the skill Silkworm Breeding learned at School of Art and Music at level 19 of your character.
- Can be found in the menu Workshop -> Projects -> Agriculture -> Silkworm breeding
Cost
- 200 Board: non-toxic
- 25 Papyrus Paper
- 50 Iron s
- 50 Sheet Glass
- 10 Copper Sheeting
- 1 Thermometer
- 20 Painting: Turquoise
- 20 Painting: Pale Turquoise
Built in a Workshop, uses 11x11 cells.
Using == ==
- Silkworm Breeding can be used to generate silk (considered as silk thread) by feeding silkworms with thistles grown in a Thistle Garden .
- The Silk can be woven into Silk Piece.
- If they are not fed, the worms survive but do not make silk.
- Breeding works in 4-day cycle:
- 12 hours for a generation to appear.
- 3 days for the cocoons to hatch: during this period, some type of thistle is required, they must be placed in the farm before hatching.
- 12 hours for the worms to produce silk (if they have been fed) or simply to survive (if not fed) before the cycle starts again.
- The type of thistle will change with each cycle of silk produced and will be different for each farm.
- If they are not fed, the type of thistle requested will remain the same in the next cycle unless you use a Silkworm Unguent.
== == Production
- The number of silk produced is not linear and will depend on the number of thistles placed in the breeding:
- For a small number of thistles, the ratio will be 1 thistle for a silk.
- For 500-750 thistles, the ration will be 1 thistle for 1.5 silk.
- After 1,000 thistles, the ratio is 1 to 1.
NdSebilis: for 750 thistles, you will get almost 1000 silk, it is the most classic employee yield
