How do I make cloth?

[alicia7tommy]

I have the loom. What do I use with it to make cloth?

[cruinne]

Fibrous leaves (yucca or young palm).

you have to make a Loom and then have Fibrous Leaves (yucca or young palm).. click "C" to get to the crafting menu .. then with the Loom Set and Fibrous Leaves in your inventory scroll to "Cloth" and click.

Or as an alternative hold down the "C" key to open the quick craft menu and select cloth when being in front of the loom :)

THIS IS REALLY SCREWY I build the loom then get fibrous mats and game will not let me make cloth

Make sure you have made enough of other simple stuff to level up enough.

You have to place the loom, just like any other work station, in order to "use" it.

After the loom is placed on the ground somewhere, and while having the materials (fibrous leaves) either in your inventory or placed on the ground nearby or a combination of both, stand near the loom and open the main crafting menu (tap C) and find the cloth recipe.

The thing with the quick crafting menu is that it is set up to display "commonly-used" items which are available for crafting with whatever materials are in proximity, on the ground or in the inventory.

If the player has a lot of various resources in their inventory, (or on the ground nearby), such as sticks and stones and leaves, the quick crafting menu will fill up with recipes for "common" items such as spears, tinder bundle, sharpened rock, lashings etc, before anything else, and will often "fill" up the quick crafting menu meaning it won't display the recipe you may be looking for because there's no room to do so. Don't rely on the quick crafting menu to show every recipe, every time. Far better off opening the main crafting menu which has ALL the recipes.
