I want procedural plants aslong as plump helmets remake the same and are the only 100% consistent crop.

Meanwhile, nobody gives a shit about pig tails. And they're like insanely important if you plan to have a Fortress that lives longer than a few years. Naked dwarves can tantrum the FUN into your fortress in a glimpse.

And seriously, buying cloth is a pain in the ass. Too expensive.

... I care about the textile plants but as I have been doing above ground forts lately Rope Reed > Pig Tails. Similarily Wild Strawberries > Plump Helmets and Longland Grass > Cave Wheat. I have been looking at the plants pretty closely and there is a great deal more thought/effort/planning put into the underground plants than most of those from above ground.

Blood for the Blood God
Magma for the Magma Thrown
Plump Helmets for ....

Pig Tails for the Sock Loom

I am OCD when it comes to fort design. It is the single biggest cause of me losing a fort. I know I could use construction underground to get rid of things like patchwork forts but I would know they were constructions. Beyond that it isn't enough to appear the same it would bug me knowing that the construction were different materials.

Elves aren't the only surface dwellers, there are also humans and I much prefer to be associated with the latter. Actually if I dug down into the caverns I would likely use the underground crops just as much.

WE NEED PLUMP HELMETS. WITHOUT THEIR SAVING PLUMPNESS, WHAT KIND OF LIFE WOULD THAT BE? PLUMP HELMETS FOR PRESIDENT/PRIME MINISTER/DICTATOR/GOD EMPEROR.

Plump helmets are an icon now. Whatever they were before, now, they are the symbol of the dwarven people.

Peronally i prefer buying caravans worth of cloth instead of planting pig tails/rope reed.

Just having a couple useless dorfs churning out stone mugs is enough to pay for all the cloth caravans bring.

I prefer my forts to be basically self sufficient. I will buy food, animals for breeding purposes, and metal objects to melt, but beyond that I would prefer to make everything possible in house.

Don't tread on my sweet pods! *eats dwarven sugar in a conspicuous manner*

Until rope reeds are found, anyway.

They taste like my cat!

[Mel_Vixen]

There are some reallife fungi that look a bit like plump-helmets and are eatable. Wood Blewit, Amethyst Deceiver or Blue Milk Mushroom (the skywalkers made a drink from that one) for example. Not exactly highly nutrious or underground but a good approximation.

Kudos to Cuda a friend of mine who could point out these 3 from the top of his hat.

But they can't be brewed!

"This is a masterwork engraving of a plump helmet, the symbol of dwarven civilization."

You can brew anything with sugar in it. Some species of mushroom have up to 17% sugar by dry weight. Grapes are like 50% sugar by dry weight, and wheat is 70% starch.

Then again, You can even make vodka from lichen.
