The cotton harvest. Spins into string, white dye and cotton cloth; a boll can also be broken back into seeds.
Japanese cotton for farmland. Mature plants yield cotton bolls plus seeds (Fortune helps). Seeds come from wild cotton in the savanna, or by crafting them from a boll.
Obtaining
- Harvested from Cotton
Generation
- Wild patch: savanna
Ecological basis
Cotton was domesticated in tropical and subtropical regions with seasonally dry habitats. Savanna represents warm, open dry grassland better than temperate plains.
Usage
A field of string and cloth
The farm-side road to string — no spiders involved. With dye, cloth and seeds all asking for bolls, portion the harvest before you spend it.
Growing string and cloth
Farms like wheat, harvests like a textile mill. For your first plant, hunting wild cotton in the savanna is the quickest road.

Behavior
Harvest notes
Break it early and you get only seeds back — wait for the bolls to burst white before harvesting.
