A [[Flax Comb]] is used to process [[Rotten Flax]] into [[Tow]] and [[Lint]], with a byproduct of [[Straw]]. It is a less durable version of the [[Hackling Rake]], [[Improved Hackling Rake]] and [[Flax Gin]].

==Source==
This building becomes available once you have learned [[Flax Processing]].

==Cost==
To build a [[Flax Comb]], you need:
* 18 [[Boards]]
* 36 [[Bricks]]
* 60 [[Thorns]]

Built [[Outside]] (Self > Projects > Flax Processing...) or in a [[Compound]]. Uses 5x6 cells.

== Use ==
'''[[Stat Timers|Stat Timer]]:''' Endurance

* Process 1 [[Rotten Flax]] into 1 [[Straw]], 1 [[Tow]] and 1 [[Lint]] in three steps.
* Can process up to 10 [[Rotten Flax]] at a time.
* Will wear out with use and eventually vanish (this will happen during the cleaning step). Any stored processed materials will be left behind on the ground.
* Since the comb wears out based on the number of cleanings, ''not'' the amount of flax processed, make sure that you process a full load of 10 [[Rotten Flax]] every time.

Tanaric: Added "in grassy locations" to summary

{{Languages}}

{{Template:ItemInfo|weight=300|bulk=300|image=Sheep.png|description=A sheep. Tasty.}}

'''Sheep''' are found in the wild in grassy locations. They can either be picked up or you can attempt to slaughter them (which has a high chance of failing and the sheep escaping). Sheep are 300 db weight and 300 db bulk (new for T8) as well.

== Use ==
Slaughtering a sheep gives:
* 2 [[produces::Leather]]
* 10 [[produces::Oil]]
* 6 [[produces::Mutton]]
* 1 [[produces::Wool]]
* 1 [[produces::Sheep Bones]] when slaughtered with high dex (TBC, 35?)

Sheep will produce [[produces::dung]] when in a pen.

Sheep can be sheared for [[produces::Wool]] when in a pen.

'''EVERYTHING BELOW HERE IS TBC FOR T8'''
== Breeding ==
To successfully breed a [[Female Sheep]] or [[Male Sheep]] you must:
* Have a [[requires::Sheep Pen]] or [[requires::Modern Sheep Farm]]
* Have [[requires::onions]] in your pen
* Have at least 1 male sheep and 1 female sheep in the pen
* Do not have the males and females separated

Sheep will not breed if there are more than 10 in one [[Sheep Pen]]

It appears to be normal for a breeding pair of sheep to produce no offspring and little or no dung for about 1.5 days realtime when first assembled. Stop staring at your sheep and go work on something else. [[User:JulianJaynes|JulianJaynes]] 16:24, 12 April 2009 (EST)

Occasionally, the sheep in a [[Sheep Pen]] may contract [[Sheep Pox]]. A [[requires::Sheep Supplement]] is required in order to cure them. Otherwise, you must kill them. '''Warning: If you kill them, they will infect nearby sheep pens.'''

== Feeding ==

Domestic sheep eat [[Onions]] at a rate of 3 per 3 [[Time|teppy hours]] for males, 1 per 3 teppy hours for females.

If a structure runs out of food, the sheep stop breeding and stop producing dung, and will eventually sicken and die. Death occurs after 3 teppy days without food.

== Dung ==

Sheep produce dung at a rate of 1 per 3 sheep per 3 teppy hours, e.g. 9 sheep produce 3 dung every 3 hours.

== Theories ==
* Shearing (or not shearing) does not seem to affect breeding rates
* Slaughtering does not seem to affect breeding rates
* The optimal ratio for breeding is 3 males and 3 females. 4:4 would leave only enough room in the pen for 2 pairs to reproduce.
* To maximize dung production, fill a pen with just female sheep. A pen with only female sheep produces 2.67 dung per day per sheep, and consumes 8 onions per day per sheep (i.e. 3 onions per dung). Keep a separate breeding pen and manually move new females to your dung pen instead of slaughtering them, until you are producing dung as fast as you need.

==Byproducts==
Depending on your [[Arthropodology]] skill level, slaughtering Sheep may produce [[produces::Skinlicker]]s, [[produces::White Sawfly|White Sawflies]], [[produces::Toad Sawfly|Toad Sawflies]], [[produces::Bat Mite]]s, [[produces::Stone Fly|Stone Flies]], [[produces::Hairy Slug]]s and [[produces::Rose Mite]]s.
