Is there a way to automate the production of silkworms?

[Gaz]

Not looking for opinions, just either yes and how to do it, or no and why not.

Thanks.

Don't think you can automate the production of the worms themselves, but you can automate the production of silk and cloth.

With a few mods, you can do this. Without mods, no

OK, I don't want to use mods, so I guess I'll do it one at a time...

Can't drones just make and get transforming materials, if worm throw in a crate, if bee recycle and do again?

Unfortunately drones don't work for making silkworms.

It may be different now, but last time I tried letting drones stock the Incubator, you never got 1 of each item. You got all 3 Larvae, or all 3 Fertilizer, or 2 Larva and 1 Fertilizer, etc.

So not sure people still need this info. but if you build Ecosystems they some times have a silkworm. They make a lot of other bugs too but you can burn all the butterflies and get silkworms from a bunch of Ecosystems. Drones can also do everything with it so I don't have to make Silkworms no more.

Drones just handle delivery.
He wanted to make them ON DEMAND.
The ECO SYSTEM will generate all Larva, but not ON DEMAND. It randomly generates Larva based on each items rarity.

Default spawning is 120secs I believe.

I had 3 ECO SYSTEMS with multiple Optimizer's, time-dividing Larva generation down to one every 5 seconds or so. But you can never DEMAND a silk larva.

silkworms from the ecosystem have a 1/21 (4.7%) RNG chance. Having multiple ecosystems with optimizers will on paper produce lots of silkworms. (provided drones can auto get rid of all the butterfly/common/rare larva so they don't plug up). close to automated, but not direct demand.

If you want tons mass produced for a huge silk farm your best bet is still recycling bees for the uncommon larva and incubate into silkworms.
