Materials and crafting
Fiber and Plant Fiber
Keep a field supply of Fiber for crafting and convert it to Fiber String when a recipe calls for the processed material.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Fiber and Plant Fiber
Oak Forest saplings and ground cover, including Sprigs, Rye, Foxtail, Sorrel and Cattail.
Before you go
- A harvesting tool suited to the plants you plan to gather.
- Inventory room for Fiber and incidental Wood or Resin.
- A Workbench or Loom & Spindle if the target recipe needs Fiber String.
Farming steps
- Choose Fiber as the trip’s target and travel to Oak Forest plant patches.
- Harvest Saplings, Sprigs, Rye, Foxtail, Sorrel or Cattail; these are listed Fiber sources.
- Check the pickup after the first few harvests so you confirm the target plant is yielding the material you need.
- Continue through nearby plant patches, prioritizing Saplings and Rye when you want Fiber alongside other useful materials.
- Return when your inventory is nearing capacity or the required recipe amount is covered.
- At home, store raw Fiber separately from other plant materials.
- If the recipe specifically requires Fiber String, craft it at the appropriate station and take the processed stack to the recipe station.
- Saplings can also provide Wood and Resin, so harvest them on a building-material run.
- Keep some Fiber raw until you have checked upcoming recipes; processing everything can leave you short of the base material.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a repeatable gathering loop: revisit plant patches and harvest available sources whenever you need more Fiber. No fixed yield or respawn interval is assumed.
Common mistakes
- Searching for creature drops: focus on the named plant sources instead.
- Treating Fiber and Fiber String as interchangeable: check the recipe’s exact item name before processing.
- Filling your pack with incidental materials: leave room for Fiber or return to base before continuing.
When to stop or switch
Stop once you have the amount required for your next recipe and a small reserve, or switch to another Oak Forest resource if Fiber is no longer the limiting ingredient.
