Overview

In-game description

Cloth from an animal or a Hemp Bush. Used in many clothing items, weapons, and more.

Pick every hemp plant you pass on the walk inland from the beach. Thirty cloth makes a sleeping bag, and a bag placed where you plan to live is the difference between respawning on the coast and respawning next to your stuff. Four more make a bandage, cheap enough to keep a few in the hotbar from the first minute.

Animals give some too, says its own description. A hunt also brings in fat, and one cloth with three fat crafts four low grade fuel. Every furnace takes fifty of that fuel to build, and the lights in your base burn it, so a hunt feeds more than your stomach.

Cloth keeps mattering late. Each C4 takes five, a medical syringe fifteen, and backpacks, rope and tarps all ask for their share. That is why experienced players never sell or bin a stack of it. Once your base has a planter, put a hemp seed or two in it and stop walking the fields.
