Cloth Type Expansion

[Ice Hole]

With clothing being updated then a revision to the cloth harvested could use some focus.

Wool, cotton, polyester, down and insulted synthetics are important and needed to repair the many types of clothing.

For example the wool cloth resource would be used to repair clothing made from wool. 

 

What would be an alternate cloth resource?  Curtain and tablecloth are likely to be made from cotton or polyester.

Blankets from beds could be wool or insulted synthetics. From the inside of pillows down or polyester fiber fill.

 

The new cloth resource at minimum to be added should be wool.

Textiles diversity does make repairs more complicated and with that the choice of clothing becomes even more important.

It would be an intriguing change to add the ability to harvest blankets and pillows off of beds. Doing so would make the bed itself lower value by decreasing the warmth bonus. But it would give an interesting challenge to emergency situations like returning to your cabin in the middle of nowhere post-bear attack: you would need to choose between a permanent bed warmth bonus or fixing your clothes to prepare for a long hike out.

Edit: of course, you would need to make the buttons clear or the forums would be immediately filled with 'I accidentally harvested the bed at the mountaineers hut while I was trying to sleep!'

Another aspect could be the ability to make your bed.  Adding blankets to increase the warmth bonus would need to be balanced by introducing some decay for the blankets.  Similar to the bedroll that loses it integrity the more it is used.

What an intriguing idea.
