Pillowforts, the Fabric Felt Round the World

Description
This adds a simple new reaction to the screw press, which lets you create felt cloth blocks from fabric.

Beware! If you want to use specific fabrics, you'll need to set up your screw press to take from stockpiles that only contain that fabric. Also, dyes do not currently persist into the blocks, so undyed cloth is recommended.

Inspired by the hard felt mats that are used in the construction of Mongolian yurts.

In the future, I could add a separate felt material that the blocks all turn into, regardless of provenance, or add actual pillows, depending on demand.

!!FAQ!!

Q: Should I use dyed cloth?
A: No, dyes are washed out during the felting process.

Q: Help! How do I keep it from using my silk?
A: Set up a stockpile linked to the screw press that only accepts the cloth you want to use.

Q: Are there any incompatibilities?
A: I don't think there should be. At the moment it's a pretty non-invasive reaction mod.

Q: Why isn't it working?
A: This adds a reaction, so you will need to generate a new world with this mod enabled.

Q: This is a silly mod.
A: You are correct. If you want me to add to it, go ahead and comment, but it's mostly for fun.

Please do flesh out this mod more! The idea of building the coziest dwarf hole in all the land intrigues me.
Perhaps small pillow forts are even something that occurs randomly in nature to harvest felt blocks directly from.

Hey, I had more or less the same idea and was glad to see someone already made the mod. Though I do have one suggestion. I want to use this mod with a low-tech playthrough where my guys live in tents on the surface, but I don't want to have to make a screw pump to produce the blocks because it doesn't fit the theme. Could you change it so the blocks are made at the loom or craftsman's shop instead? Also, I think leather blocks would also make sense.

sweet, so it would likely make an effective way to dampen falls!

@GlitterLich Currently it matches whatever plant material it's made from.

When you need a break from this insane world, what better place then a insane asylum?
