[quote=“Chiko, post:18, topic:5330”]I’m trying something. I want to add wool as a crafting material so some wool items could be created and disassembled. These are the ideas for this to work:
Knitting Kit:
“This is a plastic kit with a variety of big needles, some plastic spools for yarn, and a few other useful textile tools. Use a knitting kit only to create clothing.”
-I thought about allowing this item to repair clothes too but I don’t think that is possible unless I find a way to only repair wool clothes.
-Refilling this with Yarn is just for storing purposes since crafting recipes need the kit and yarn separately so disassembling woolen items don’t require a “charged” kit.
-The kit is a bit bigger and weights more than a sewing kit.
-Another option would be to not create this kit and just use the Sewing Kit. Maybe change its stats a bit, name it Tailoring Kit and edit the description another bit.
Wool Yarn:
“A small quantity of wool yarn that could be used to refill a knitting kit.”
-This will be the basic crafting block for wool items.
-It’s just a copy of thread but stacks in less quantities.
Wool Bolt:
“A bolt of knitted fabric used to make big wool garments.”
-Since wool clothes should take a lot more time to make and there’s no “continue work” when interrupted, these should be required to make clothes bigger than woolen socks and gloves, for instance.
Stitch 'n Sticks:
“A knitting magazine with basic tips and recipes.”
-Not sure about the name but this magazine should train tailoring and give you maybe 5 recipes.
-This could be the only book about this but I would like to allow players to learn how to make the rest of the wool items by disassembling them like you do with some electronics.
Le question be… is it a good idea to try adding something like this or it’s just unnecessary?[/quote]
We’ve considered making wool craftable like that before; never went anywhere, but wasn’t downchecked. Feel free to PR it. Will probably need some work, but I’d approve knitting for a mainline addition.
FWIW I believe that stuff like the soldering iron and sewing kit only work on items made of X material. Should be able to copy that for “wool” for the sewing kit.
And we’d need to check some materials on existing items. I made the cowboy hat wool to go for the “felt” type of wool, for instance. Can change it to cotton or leather easily enough.
TLDR: Go for it.
