"It's the newest cuddly pet from GrowTech Pharma! Thanks to genetic engineering, you can now raise your own giant mutant silkworm. They'll eat almost any food, but don't forget to give them water too! And if they get sick, you'll need to have some Antidotes on hand. Warning: Silkworms are living creatures. They will not live forever! Take good care of them and enjoy them while you can. Not available any other way!"

The Silkworm is an item which was added on the 1st of February, 2016. If taken care of properly, it will give 1-10 Silk Threads.

Taking Care Of A Silkworm

When first placed, the silkworm will be grey by default (as in it will give Silk Thread - Grey. In order to change it's colour, it needs to be fed. Depending on the food, it will change the colour slightly (i.e. feeding it a Blueberry will make it slightly more blue but it's colour will not be blue unless it is fed more).
For the first 48 hours, the Silkworm will not produce any silk. If the silkworm is of a pure colour (e.g. blue), it will produce that colour thread (i.e. Silk Thread - Blue).
The Silkworm must be constantly fed with food and water every day. If it has a Hungry or Thirsty status for too long, it will become sick. Gruel and Water are the only items which can be used which will not change the Silkworm's colour, but any other food will change the Silkworm's colour slightly. Silkworms live for a maximum of 20 days.
To remove a Silkworm's sick status, cure it using an Antidote.
The amount of Silk Threads a Silkworm will produce is between 1-10 and can be absolutely random (not dependent on how much it is fed).

Using a Spike Juice or a Experience Potion will give the "Supercharged" Mod, which means that the next harvest will give 10 Silk.
A Silkworm can be revived using a Silkworm Soul.
Giving a Silkworm Green Beer or Rotten Egg will make it sick.
