A new extract - elfblight.
Can be extracted from plump helmets.
Makes elves rot and sets them on fire when they step in it.

I feel I must direct you to MachoNacho's point immediately above.

Food has accurate nutritive qualities.  Now, if you attempt to sustain your fort on cheese stew or tallow roasts, your dwarves will become malnourished and morbidly obese; varied, nutritious meals with a balance of fruits, vegetables, meats, and grains are a must.  However, you still cannot actually choose what your chef's cook into meals.

The nutrition part is actually a good idea.

whenever you look, in fortress mode or adventure mode [k and l respectively), your cursor teleports to a random spot in the world, moving teleports you to another random spot. Exiting look mode keeps you where you are. Good luck finding yourself/your fortress

I just imagine the elven caravan rolling up to your fort and wondering 1) where all those purple mushrooms in front of the trade depot came from, and 2) why every dorf in the fort is eagerly watching their arrival.

Herbalife have to identity plants they gather, which may fail if they have poor herbalist skills. Also, there's syndrome-bearing plants, which have a higher chance to be misidentified.

This is the terrible suggestions thread.

The suggestion you gave sounds like a good one

[Nordlicht]

This sounds really good. The game could generated cures for the  illnesses, poisons and proc. generated syndromes . Herbalists // Alchimists need to do research with different parts of plants. Cutting, cooking or extracting could have different effects. Doctors could research the symptoms of proc. generated syndromes and name them. I think I got carried away...

There’s no such thing as too carried away here. Maybe this thread should be renamed to Good and Bad Suggestions Thread. Your suggestion is a good one

[Urist McUristUrist]

My suggestion might look good at first glance, but it would make herbalists pretty much useless. You'd have a situation where allowing herbalists to pick anything from the ground and not immediately incinerating it afterwards could randomly end with half a fort dying seemingly out of nowhere.

[Rockeater]

Yeah, it would require a teaching method like books or apprentice type of thing where they could learn without the negative side effects, but it could bring interesting elements to the game.

[Naturegirl1999]

Yes, maybe books and poems with herb or plant in the title can improve herbalist skills

[Nordlicht]

Maybe an "I have a basic random thought that needs a lot of work to become an own topic but I look for some input" sticky thread would be a good idea.

Will do

Plump helmets (picked or unpicked) slowly replace nearby items with more plump helmets and convert water into booze.
