Gathering fibers.

With a knife of any kind, click on a fiber plant to cut some fiber from it. You should see a message that you've obtained some fiber from the plant, or that the plant is out of fiber. Where you find fiber stalks in towns, those stalks usually yield 20 fibers maximum, and grows back over time. If you get less than 20, it likely means it has not fully grown back yet since the last time someone harvested. To find the fiber stalks in Hub, run down the main street to the farm fields. There are nine fiber stalks mixed in amongst the other plant stalks there.
