Floppy Beanie

Floppy Beanie
Type	Hat
Location	Tailoring

The Floppy Beanie is made from tree sap. Tapping a maple, an oak or a pine and feeding the syrup into a Sewing Machine with a piece of Cloth produces a loose knitted cap, and any of the three products works, so whichever tapper fills first decides the recipe. That makes it one of the cheapest hats in the game to plan for: a tapper costs wood and a pair of copper bars, and the trees that feed it grow wild in every corner of the valley. The hat is the soft, slouchy cousin of the ordinary beanie, and it suits the kind of farm that always has a tapper running somewhere.

Location

---

Tappers come from the Foraging skill and cost a bundle of wood with two copper bars. Hammered onto a trunk, a tapper fills slowly: a maple gives Maple Syrup after about nine days, an oak gives Oak Resin in a week or so, and a pine gives Pine Tar fastest of all. A bubble over the tree shows when something is ready. The Heavy Tapper, bought as a recipe from Mr. Qi's walnut room and crafted from hardwood and a Radioactive Bar, halves every one of those waits.

Pine is the obvious tree to sacrifice to a hat, because Pine Tar pays its way quickly and comes round again soonest. Oak Resin is the one to think twice about, since kegs are built on it, and Maple Syrup goes into bee houses and is also wanted by fish ponds.

The machine that sews it stands in the front room of Emily and Haley's house, with Cloth in the feed slot and the syrup in the spool slot. Emily's Rock Rejuvenation request brings a machine home, which is handy when the tappers are in the woods behind the farm.

A beanie of this sort can also arrive by accident, dropping from monsters, crates and barrels, trees that are chopped or shaken, artifact spots and panning spots.

Effect

---

The knit sits loose on the head and sags at the back instead of hugging the skull, which gives it a lazy, comfortable look. It works with winter coats and with scruffy work clothes, and it reads as warm rather than smart. Hair stays hidden underneath.

Notes

---

A tree farm pays for the hat many times over. Tappers left on a stand of pines and oaks produce without any attention, and the syrups sell for a quarter more with the matching foraging profession, so the hat costs only a few days of one tree's output.

Tappers also work on mahogany and mushroom trees, where they draw sap and mushrooms instead, so a mixed plantation keeps several recipes supplied from the same row of trunks.
