RimWorld: How to Get Cloth

gamerant.com:

RimWorld, the hit colony-management sim from Ludeon Studios, revived the spirit of the cult classic Dwarf Fortress. Players must protect a group of colonists stranded in a remote world and guide them into building a safe and happy colony. RimWorld is full of dangers for colonists to overcome, everything from starvation to madness, pirates to insectoid swarms.

The life of a colonist in RimWorld is tough, but the life of a naked colonist is even tougher. It's for this reason that Cloth is one of Rimworld's most important crafting materials, allowing players to not only clothe their colonists but also provide them with comfort and relaxation. However, Cloth is not a material that spawns naturally on the map, and players may have some difficulty acquiring it.

RimWorld: How to Get Components

By far, the easiest way to get Cloth in RimWorld is to grow it by planting Cotton Plants. These plants require ground with a minimum fertility of 70%, as well as a safe growing temperature of between 10C (50F) and 42C (107F). On temperate maps, it's recommended for players to at least plant a small section of Cotton when they first plant their food crops at the beginning of the game. Having RimWorld colonists with the best Traits and a high Growing skill will allow players to plant more without consuming too much of their colonist's time with agriculture.

Cotton Plants take around 14 days to grow, taking into account resting time at night, and a fully mature plant will produce 10 Cloth when harvested. While this is a good amount of Cloth to receive from each plant, not all colonies will be able to support a Cotton farm. In colonies that lack fertile soil or good Growing skills, the only way to get Cloth is to buy it from a trader. Trade
