== Source ==
This building becomes available when you learn the [[Silkworm Farming]] skill. It should be noted that unlike many other buildings, the [[Silkworm Farming]] skill is required to use it.

== Cost ==
* 200 [[requires::Treated Boards|Nontoxic Boards]]
* 25 [[requires::Papyrus Paper]]
* 50 [[requires::Iron]]
* 50 [[requires::Sheet Glass]]
* 10 [[requires::Copper Sheeting]]
* 1 [[requires::Thermometer]]
* 20 turquoise [[requires::Paint]]
* 20 pale turquoise [[requires::Paint]]

Built in a [[Compound]]. Uses 11x11 cells.

== Use ==
Silkworms generate [[produces::Raw Silk]] when fed the proper [[requires::thistles]], grown in a [[Thistle Garden]]. If they are not fed, they will still survive.

The amount of [[Raw Silk]] produced is subject to diminishing returns but appears to maintain a 1:1 ratio up to roughly 1000 [[Thistles]]. On the original shard, presumably because of a pyramid bonus, it now appears to maintain a 2:1 ratio up to roughly 500 [[Thistles]]. See [[Talk:Silkworm_Farm]] for some recorded numbers.

The Silkworms go in a 4-day cycle, starting from when you build the farm:
* 12 hours waiting for the next generation to be laid.
* 3 days eggs waiting to hatch. During this period the farm will display the current requirements.
* 12 hours either growing and eating (if fed), or simply surviving.

The type of thistle required will change after a cycle where the silkworms have been fed at least one thistle. If they are not fed, no silk will be produced and the thistle requirements will not change.

*[[Thistle request]]

 * After the peak, the ratio will begin to decrease, returning to 1:1 at around 1000 Thistle.
 * After 1000 Thistle, the ratio continues to decline sharply, reducing the value of adding additional Thistle.
+* Confirmed test that 4.6k thistles only gave back 1.4k of silk, a ratio of approx 1:0.3

+The amount of Raw Silk returned after the silkworms are fed is based on the amount of Thistle they were given (in addition to a small random factor), but it is not a simple linear relationship.
