A curious thing.

I added the [OUTDOOR_ORCHARDS} tag to the mountain entity before generating this world, so that dwarves would be able to bring in fruits and nuts in the caravans...  But more interestingly, it seems that brewing fruit into booze produces... tree seeds.

In this case, Pears.



I am going to see if these are plantable......

[Orange Wizard]

Pears brew into perry? That's fantastic.

[wierd]

Ok, while I seem to be getting pear seeds, I cannot seem to plant them.

Farm Plots do not permit their use.

Is there another kind of structure that Elves can build, that dwarves cant, that makes use of tree seeds?

[Orange Wizard]

Not that I'm aware of. Tree seeds are probably only useful for cooking for the time being.

[Sumyunguy]

Prepare for some delicious, finely minced pear seeds for your high quality pear seed roast.

I've been finding "feather tree egg yolk" in my depot whenever a caravan comes to trade. It seems to be dropping there from a nearby tree. Would it be possible to harvest fruit by constructing trade depots under trees? It gets to the food stockpile fine but is blacked out in the kitchen menu, possible because it isn't a brewable fruit. Will have to test under a pear tree or something.

The egg yolks don't drop from trees. I've had them appear in my underground depot in a neutral region. But I'm not sure if I bought them without realizing it or if they just appeared.

The caravan brings in feather tree eggs and they melt in non-freezing temperatures. If a caravan item melts or freezes, it gets marked as fort-produced and the caravan leaves it in the depot, unless it's in a container.

At least that's what I observed.

Which really, only begets more questions regarding feather trees...

Feather trees are good region trees, right? So why do their fruits melt in non freezing temperatures? Do good regions stink like rotten egg once the time comes for fruit to drop?
Why don't feather trees just drop eggs instead of only their yolk?

[Panando]

Feather trees also have... feathers... instead of leaves .

Maybe they're like, cadbury eggs. So, come summertime, Good regions are covered in a gloopy-but-delicious layer of melted chocolate and vanilla confection.

There is only one dwarfy use for large amonts of seeds

Not heavy enough.

They may be useful for coinstar deployment however.

If you look in the raws, you will see the comment "need to go w/ all egg mats when growths support it" - normal eggs have multiple materials (shell, yolk, and white), but DF isn't yet capable of producing plant growths made of multiple materials.

Ah, I saw that, but had no clue how to interpret that...

Still, till then it's just funny to imagine good biomes smelling like sulfur miasma during summer. (And perhaps after then as well :p )
