Cave Fish silk
« on: November 17, 2008, 11:21:20 pm »

exactly what it says in the title, my parent civ is selling both cave spider and cave fish silk. I checked the raws and cave fish don't seem to have any of the tags that would allow them to produce silk (although they are right underneath the cave spiders). I have modded my game by moving Spirit of fires into the common domestic .txt without renaming them.

Try moving the spirits of fire back.  Maybe the game creates a creature index at world gen and you bumped it by 1 by moving things around.

Move the spirits of fire back, at world gen the game does create a list of creatures in relation to their txt documents, so moving a creature is equivalent to entirely deleting one creature and creating an entirely new one.

Never really thought about it before. I had thought of genetically altered goats that can be milked to create spider silk and I was thinking that we should be able to milk spiders....
I think too much.

We can milk spiders. For venom.

Once the swelling dies down, they are actually quite lovely.
