No hailing Toady until there are Chestnuts roasting on an open fire!

No hailing Toady until there are Chestnuts roasting on an open fire!

How about tossing Chestnuts at elves? Thats my christmas dream right there. Hell, now he HAS to have this up by the 25th of december.

Is there anything useful we can do with dead leaves? They probably don't burn hot enough to be used as a fuel, but maybe fertilizer?

[Mel_Vixen]

On itemclouds: Is it possible to use that type as material breath? I would like to see shrapnel-"clouds" from say a giant porcupine instead of a single spine. 

For breakable items it couldalso make sense. Glass and ceramics breaking into shard-clouds for example.

I can tell you from personal experience that the only practical use in burning leaves is to dispose of them. They burn quick and bright, but thrown up embers in large amounts and don't produce much heat.

It's nice to have acorns and chestnuts in the game, though I don't have roasting handled.

Are you planning to do that? I can't tell if this is just a joke or if it's also suggesting that the adventure mode campfires might see more use.

Cue all kinds of adventure mode cartoons, fortress stories, etc, featuring mass murder by apples.

Considering this is the guy who decided to describe liver as 'chopped' rather than the standard 'prepared', I don't think that 'just a joke' is enough for it NOT to be in the game =D  In all seriousness though, adv mode cooking is probably in the works with all the other adv mode things. Should be as simple (or as difficult) as making adv mode reactions require a heat source.

He'll implement it. One line of code will conflict with another line of code in a completely different file. You are now standing on a field of ducks.

How long does leaf-clutter last on the ground?  I'm a little OCD about fortress cleanliness and contaminants (the cleaning bug drives me crazy right now)--will dwarves get rakes?

ROASTING MUST BE ADDED

When, not if, this is added will we be able to roast nuts in fortress mode?

I really doubt that. It doesn't fit the time period, and considering how contaminants work right now, you wouldn't be able to clear a tile - just like trying to remove snow.

Will we be able to use rotting leaves as a fertilizer?

For a moment I thought that Toady meant some other roasting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roasting_(metallurgy) uff what a relieve.

Will we also be able to pick fruit in Dwarf Fortress mode too, as well as adventure mode?

This is just brilliant. I'm looking forward to seeing the new elf sites!

If so how much fruit will there be? Will there be enough to have a major impact on how we play the food supply game?
