Items built or crafted with chinchilla fur will be more beautiful than normal. [[Armchair]]s and [[drape]]s made out of chinchilla furs can be used to decorate a room. Chinchilla fur provides excellent protection against the cold. |

− | + | Interestingly, the choice of whether to slaughter chinchillas as babies or adults varies as the proportion of females to males changes, with adult slaughter becoming more optimal as the proportion of males increases. This can be thought of as being due to the nutrition consumption of the males overpowering the benefit of not having to feed the offspring. Baby slaughter becomes preferable as the ratio of females:males rises above 2.4:1 for meat optimisation, or 2:1 for leather optimisation.<!--found with size=0.35, hunger=0.124*1.6, gestation=5.66, avg_offspring=1.75, juvenile_age=0.1, maturity_age=0.2222---> | |

− | + | Chincihllas produce {{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}}/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}} round 3}} fur per 1 unit nutrition. 1 unit of nutrition is equal to {{icon small|hay}} 20 [[hay]]. This 20 hay could be grown in {{#expr: (20 / {{#show:Haygrass|?Harvest Yield Per Day (100)}}) round 1}} tiles of haygrass. The same tiles of [[psychoid plant]] could create {{icon small|Psychoid leaves}} {{#expr: (20 / {{#show:Haygrass|?Harvest Yield Per Day (100)}}) * {{#show:Psychoid plant|?Harvest Yield Per Day (100)}} round 1}} psychoid leaves per day. Chinchillas can graze on grass, which saves massively on work. | |
