[Discontinued] Automatic Moth Trap

Description
Im no longer working on this mod
Not sure if it keeps working, but there wont be any more updates, feel free to remake it if it ever stops working or if you want to upgrade it in some way.




Tired of taping E over and over again to farm the Moth's silk fibre? This mod is your perfect option! It adds a new item called Automatic Moth traps which automatically drops the silk fibre as soon as it is grown.

The mod's biggest potential is obtained by having a big silk farm, as all the silk will be instantly grabbed with no manual labor, although it can produce lag when multiple dozens of moth traps get harvested at once.




Crafting:
Crafted in: Agricultural Station
Components: 1 "Moth trap" + 3 "Copper wire"



Item ID:

Until we can make it fully automated, I think its best for a few on a ship

i like this mod, could you do a automatic farm animal mod?

It seems that if there is a ton of these farms, there would be lag issues. (Haven't tested, but I'm pretty sure of it.)
But to remedy that, I can see a use for FU's Grabbers and Watchers for fully automatic Moth farms.
Of course, this isn't implying that more support is needed (aside from wires and More Moths), I'm saying this in case you take it the wrong way.
Whenever it gets More Moths support, imagine the possibilities!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will try it!

better sprite could be good, but nice work anyway.

Usage of wires made me think about wireable moth traps (so - you will be able to connect few to button, that, on press, will make every connected trap, if grown, drop silk. For example.), but unsure if its easy to make
