Nylon
Nylon is a synthetic polymer that can be used as a cheap alternative to more natural textiles.
Notes
Nylon is a synthetic polymer produced through industrial recipes, serving as a cheap alternative to natural textiles for crafting. It occupies the mid-to-late-game material progression, typically requiring oil drilling and chemical processing. Nylon is used to create Nylon Thread, an ingredient in further recipes. If your town has access to petrochemicals, specializing in Nylon production can supply a steady source of thread for the community, as synthetic textiles can be scaled more easily than relying on natural fiber sources.
