1.  I can't seem to cook quarry bush leaves.  I have a bunch of processed leaves sitting in bags.  Do I need to dig through the raw files to add a cook tag or something?

2.  Volcanoes.  Now that volcanoes are completely straight, I can't find an area that is easily tapped into via channeling from above.  While I regretted the necessity, a newly immigrated peasant volunteered to tap the magma vent.  I expected a crispy dwarf, but the peasant managed to breech the vent wall and scamper back without a scratch.  Has magma been slowed a bit?

1. I haven't tried farming quarry bushes yet, but I checked and quarry bush leaves are missing the [EDIBLE_COOKED] tag on the leaves. The baseline leaf entry is also missing it, so it just doesn't get the edible cooked tag. You could add it in either the leaf material template (which currently only affects quarry bushes, since they're only one using that template) or directly to the quarry bush entry.

Heres the quarry bush entry with the tag added in red:

You could also add [EDIBLE_VERMIN] if you wanted the leaves to be edible by vermin (I think it was in the last version?). I haven't tested this but it should work.

-edit- I also just noticed that the seed template doesn't have edible cooked tag either, which is why seeds are no longer cookable.

2. Not sure. Seems about normal to me, but I never really paid much attention to how fast lava flows.

Thanks for the edited .raw file, I'll try it shortly.

As for point #2, I honestly never tried breaching a magma vent in this manner in 40d, I always found a way to channel from above.  I had read stories that led me to expect instant death for the hapless peasant, and I was pleasantly surprised.
