Cloth Recycling

Allows your dwarves to recycle fabric clothing and bags at a Clothier's workshop into lower-value "reclaimed thread" for re-use.

Non-Steam users can find it on DFFD as "[50.xx] Cloth Recycling"!

Every two items recycled produces one full spool of thread, but the wear-and-tear of the process, and the mixing of different fibers, results in a lower-valued material. However, newly produced plant, silk, and yarn fabrics are now more valuable than in vanilla.

Additionally, your dwarves can also start with items made of reclaimed cloth, and you can select it during embark.


Due to the increased value of freshly produced cloth, items made of such cloth are also more valuable; this may require changes to your embark profile!

Make sure to use stockpile links to control which items are recycled!


This mod increases the value of animal-based fabrics, making changes to cave spiders/giant cave spiders, brown recluse spiders/spider men/giant spiders, phantom spiders, trolls, sheep, llamas, and alpacas; and adds reactions to MOUNTAIN and animal tokens to all entities.
