Are plant weapons meant to be this powerful?

I made a reaction which lets you make prickle berry longswords out of nothing.
Also strawberry axes and sun berry spears.
I managed to slash off a goblin's head with the sword.
What the hell?

Bloated Tuber hammers can fracture cyclops bones.

Its probably a bug related to unspecified material properties defaulting to maximum values.

Those nefarious bastards! No wonder they bring more animals when you make them mad - their plants are being used for weapons!  We must make ready!  <goes to the forges>

Quickly! Someone mod a dwarven super-weapon counterpart!
Make swords and axes and hammers out if magma! That'll teach those elves!

Give Dwarves hammers made out of metal which are extremely hot, and make them wear fixed temperature gloves before they pick them up! Would the hammers melt the people they hit, would the gloves stop the hammers from melting the Dwarves hands? You must go on this quest, young one, and discover the true Dwarven weapon! Discover, and conquer, young one, and do it in the name of Dwarves, in the name of Armok, in the name of SCIENCE!

Dwarven Science: We do what we must, because, we're bored.

Every few miles, [the dwarves] stop the cart.  One of the dwarfs (sic) gets off, digs a hole down below the dirt layers, licks the bedrock, and then they know exactly where they are.  It's called GPS: Geological Piquancy Sampling.

Tried it, and the weapons (fixed temp 14000) had no extra effect on the wielder or the targets, not even when they lodged firmly in the wound.  I in fact dressed a dwarf in full magmite armor and it caused him no harm.

You seem to be under the illusion that we give a shit about what happens to dwarves who are too dumb to live.
