Heckle - unforbidable/tfcplus-bids GitHub Wiki

Description

Hackle is a handwork tool that can be used as a final refining step in the processing of Jute and Flax fibers by splitting and aligning them, and removing short fibers (tow), making them easier to spin.

Recipe

Craft a Bone Hackle by using 2 Bone knife blades, resin, and binding.

Bone Knife Blade

Craft bone knife blade by Carving a bone.

Usage

Right click while holding a Hackle to attach and start hackling coarse fibers that are present in adjacent slot to the right of the Hackle. Fibers are consumed once successfully attached to the Hackle.

Right click and hold the Hackle to refine the fibers that have been attached. The progress is indicated with the damage-like bar filling up as well as the attached fibers being visually changed on the item.

When the hackling process is complete, right click the Hackle while sneaking to retrieve the refined fibers.

By default, the process of hackling takes about 6 real time seconds. Feel free to change the value of crafting.hacklingDurationMultiplier in the configuration to adjust the duration according to your needs.

Notes

• Hackling fibers is an optional step, but it allows the fibers to be spun with a Spindle much easier.
