Overview

How does this work? Here's are the steps:

1. Check this page to see which gardens currently require feeding and what type of thistles they need.
   • Farms are initially 'laying eggs'. Nothing can be done during this phase
   • After the eggs are laid, farms are 'hatching eggs'. Thistles need to be added during this phase
   • After the eggs hatch, the cocoons are spun. Nothing can be done during this phase
   • Finally, the cocoons are done and raw silk can be removed from the tank. Meanwhile, new eggs are laid
2. Grow the needed thistles at your camp or at the public thistle gardens at my camp in Meroe (870, -3700).
   • I'll post the recipes for each silkworm farm as I figure them out. It won't always be possible to have a working recipe due to the changing thistle voids.
   • You need one thistle seed to grow each batch of 5 thistles. When you harvest the thistles, you'll get 2 thistle seeds. As such, you'll gradually wind up with more and more seeds.
   • Some recipes only work at night and others only work during the day.
   • Most recipes require water. If you are using the public thistle gardens, you'll need to bring your own jugs.
3. Stash the needed thistles in the chest at the base of the silkworm farms.
4. Chat me and leave a message noting how much thistle you placed in each chest. DO NOT CLOSE THIS CHAT
5. I'll feed the silkworms your thistles and update the chat once the cocoons are done.
   • It can take up to 2 days for a silkworm farm to grow silk. Look at the timers on each farm to figure out how close it is to maturing.
6. Pickup the raw silk at my camp and close the chat. You get one deben of silk per deben of thistles you provide.
