Chinchilla Farming

Description
This mod adds a wool item and fur harvesting property for chinchilla farming that doesn't make you kill the cutest animal on the Rim. Have a herd of chinchillas! Name them without fear!

I had a brief conversation on Reddit with Tynan a few years ago, after I had raised the fact that chinchillas live in deserts, not jungles as Rimworld spawned them, because rain would kill them. Tynan informed me that in the future, chinchillas are actually genetically modified to be much more resilient. I would imagine that whoever unf*cked their genetics would also have made them more economically useful, into an animal whose fur can be repeatedly harvested. This mod further emphasizes the entirely canon nature of genetically modified space chinchillas.

See my other mod for guinea pig farming too!

@Mlie, is this working still in 1.6? Just curious

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.5 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod

Awesome. Thanks for the response.

You can safely ignore the incompatibility warning. The parts of the game that are changed by this mod will never, ever be altered by the developer.

Any chance of an update to 1.5? Just curious

Sure, just pick a moment when all the sea otters happen to be in the water.

@Maritisa second-most dense! sea otters take the cake.

Actually, the funny thing is, the reason we can't shear chinchillas *as-is* for fur is not because you, well, can't, but actually solely because there's just not a good adhesive to compensate for losing the skin connection. Chinchilla fur isn't like wool, it doesn't bunch up into spoolable fibers, it's extremely fine and unbelievably dense, the densest of all earth's animals, in fact.
Unless you gave the critters a 'second skin' or something that they could be coaxed to shed, it is unlikely that you could make this happen on a genetic level while retaining the desired properties of chinchilla fur. Otherwise, you'd need some hyper-efficient adhesive process that can stick all unfathomable numbers of little hairs at their roots to something like synthread.

But this is also the same game where cotton has been modified so extensively that it yields raw cloth without any processing and I love my floofball friends so I can overlook this leap of logic just fine LOL.

Your humble subscriber shall continue to continue to build chinchilla fur armchairs in service to the bus gods so that hopefully will not happen, but the information is nice regardless!
