Crafting twine

[HEL City Survivor]

Twine should be craftable. Yes, would take skill (foraging? and/or a crafting recipe?) and time, but still.

 

This would require stripping long fibers from a suitable source, such as trees and other plants. Branches and logs would be a source, perhaps giving a random amount of fibers and destroying the resource in the process. Second, the fibers need to be soaked in water for several days ("retting"), and then dried (ie. kept in warm enough conditions). Lastly, they're twisted and tied together to make twine.

 

All in all, quite a bit of time and effort involved, but this would make a basic resource renewable in MP and make a wilderness base more viable.

I think I'd rather use denim threads for this personally.

There's a mod for that, it lets you make bark from twigs, crude rope from the bark, then rope, then twine from the rope. I like your idea better

+1 Yes please make Twine a craftable resource.

This video shows how to make cordage from plastic bags as well.

The video mentions 'Goran' was taught this by locals in the Caribbean; and that they also used coke labels. Plastic twine should be able to use for: Fishing, Making Rope, Twine alternative.

Can also be done with plastic pop bottles and a knife. Not the greatest stuff, but reasonably strong, assuming it's not an old as bottle that's been sitting out in the sun for years.
