Analysis[edit]
Guinea pig fur is one of the least protective textiles in the game, 3-way tied for 18th most protective. However, it boasts the highest cold insulation of all textiles alongside a remarkable market value and beauty factor, placing 7th best in both categories. It has similar stats to Chinchilla fur, but trades some item durability, market value, and beauty for additional insulation.
Its poor protection means its utility as clothing is negligible outside of cold biomes. In cold biomes however, as guinea pig fur has the highest cold insulation of any textile in the game, tribalwear made from it can allow a pawn to survive without having to sacrifice the greater protection of a duster made from a strong material for something warmer. As guinea pigs only naturally spawn in temperate biomes, sourcing a practical quantity of their fur will require importing and ranching the animals.
For use in furniture, its place as the textile with the 5th highest beauty factor and market value makes it a good choice for improving furniture beauty and room stats. Be aware that, due to the low butchery yield of guinea pigs, gathering enough fur for even a single armchair would require butchering 7 guinea pigs.
Guinea pig fur's high market value also makes it a valuable commodity, especially if processed into a high quality item of clothing or furniture. If selling leather goods is your only goal, chinchillas and their fur will provide around twice as much silver per day (roughly 21 silver per day per guinea pig versus 42 silver per day per chinchilla, when slaughtering adults). However, guinea pigs have a few non-leather advantages over chinchillas, as detailed on their page.
