* Stuff keeps burning forever, untill water is poured over it.
Related to 000434 and 000367, but seen it happen with blocks, buildings, logs and all other stuff which can burn. Sometimes clothings on creatures will not burn down to ashes as well.
Stuff get stuck at XXitemXX state. I had some logs and blocks around which were XXitemXX already from last fire, and now they burn again and yet again i believe they have stuck in burning state.
* Burned items are non-useable.  http://ssorion.info/misc/df_fire_stuckitem.jpg
I couldn't get rid of that block to make 4th pillar there, and had to channel around it. It cant be dumped, it cant be used in building tasks, and i cant build anything over it. Nearby logs/blocks have same problem.
* Horrible lag caused by burning items.
My fps on that save is down to 1 because some wood logs and buildings are burning now (which now would not end till next rain)

Heres the save with all 3 issues, http://ssorion.info/misc/df_fire_bugrep_save.rar  (included raws there since i play custom race)

Okay, I've downloaded the save and I'll take a look at some point.

Okay, the burning forever problem has been addressed, and the associated lag.  The XX block was actually broken down to the point where it should have destroyed (and it's promptly destroyed in the new version), and that might have affected its use in jobs.  We'll have to see if such objects come up again in the future.

Hello all. I just downloaded this interesting game and ran it for the first time. I have the latest version. I formed a new game world (only option b/c first time playing). I decided to first start as an Adventurer. I chose Elven race. Then I chose a Forest Retreat site starting area. I get to the main game screen, and it looks great. It's very detailed. First thing on my mind is survival, which means food. I look on the ground and see Wild Strawberries. I walk over and stand on one and hit "g" for pick-up item. A menu comes up and says "select item you wish to pick up" then two choices: a) ignite Wild Strawberries, or b) ignite birch tree (near here) . The key term is "ignite". I check the key bindings, and the only thing I can do is pick up the strawberries using "g" . So I selected the a) option hoping it was just a typo. Nope, I actually ignited the Strawberries and they burned, eventually becoming ash.
    Is the "g" key mixed up with another key? Because I don't remember seeing a key for "igniting" something. There is a key for "eating" something, but I don't want to just have to eat stuff off the ground, I'd like to carry it with me as well. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks

You cant harvest plants, you can only ignite them, along with trees.

Think of the 'g' key as the "Interact with things on ground/pickup" key.

Also you didnt post a new topic, if that's what you were going for.

Thanks. And about the new topic thing, I just figured this was a "fire-related" problem thing, though save is not included.

The strawberries refer to the entire plant, and you can't pick them yet in adventure mode.  Ignite is stuck under the 'g' menu until it finds a better home, when starting fires gets done properly.
