Silk is harvested from certain flowers and low-growing plants, including purple flowers in the highlands or desert and white flowers in some regions. On other maps, check plants near water, in Asgard, or around the Genesis ocean floor. Gachas can produce Silk, and Lymantria or butterflies can be killed and harvested for it, though spiders do not drop it.
