It actually does take a long time for fire to heat the tile, and it's possible that it being so cold will make that take even longer. I hav melted fat into grease that way, I forget how long it took but it was longer than I expected.

Why is it so cold? Are you at a polar extreme? Or is it some feature of the mod?

I've no idea. Water isn't frozen or anything so it's even weirder food is apparently too cold to eat. And I shouldn't be at an extreme. About a 3/4 down the world map.

I'll try booting it up later and wait longer.

Found a pretty bad issue in adventure mode. Whenever I try to get my adventurer to eat something, game just remarks that "X is too cold to eat." I was hoping this was just a regular dwarf fortress thing and there was some solution, but it might be mod related. I've tried both a post-human immortal and a post-human adaptive, and both haven't been able to eat due to too cold food.

Are you in a cold area like a tundra or glacier? It might be that is the case. Try making a campfire and heating the food. Alternately, is it a strange kind of food? What food is giving you this trouble?

Just crab meat. Though I tried finding some other things, think I encountered some un-humans trying to move north where it'd maybe be less cold, and that meat is too cold to eat as well apparently. Heating food with a campfire doesn't do anything, unless I need to do it ten or so times in a row or something. I don't think it's tundra or a glacier, as there's no snow around and the river water isn't frozen. Pressing P always says the environment is deathly cold though.

Very strange, it might be I set the minimum temperature too low. Did you do anything to modify the game besides following the installation instructions? If you used advanced worldgen, which world did you pick?

Didn't do anything special with the instillation other than add the kruggsmash graphics, but that shouldn't have suddenly caused problems when there weren't none. And yeap, did advanced world gen using medium world large population, stopped at around 453 years.

I have never seen that message in ten years of playing adventure mode. As far as I was aware food is always edible.

What precisely are you trying to eat?

Some butchered crab meat.

Booted in adventure mode, and seem to have started in a world where it's deathly cold even during the day, meaning there's no eating to be had. Heating up food with a campfire doesn't seem to work like heating up ice in a waterskin to turn it into water does. Going inside doesn't seem to do anything. I've not been able to find any information on whether camp fires actually heat up surroundings or not. Is this run doomed to end in starvation, and probably all future adventure mode attempts in this world, or is there a way to make food edible?

Thanks for any answers in advance.

Hello! I've started playing Adventure Mode in the mod recently (first time I've ever really played Dwarf Fortress's Adventure Mode) and I'm having a lot of fun, though I've found some minor bugs related to adventurer crafting. They're an Asura Outsider, should it be relevant.

The options in primitive metalcrafting could really do with being renamed. I had some spare bronze chunks and not enough metal in general to turn into nanotechne, so I decided to make some weapons for throwing. Turns out that trying to make a warhammer resulted in a scattergun, a battleaxe a scatterpistol, and a crossbow a long shiv. Bolts did actually make bolts though.

When using the deconstruction option to break down equipment into junks, it seems weapons always give 3 chunks, and as it only takes 1 to make a pistol, you can infinite generate chunks of your choice. Or at least it worked for the bronze stuff I was working with. Also, it seems you can't break down exo-helments or arms/legs, which is somewhat annoying.

I'm not sure whether it's intentional or not, but my character is unable to craft exo-arms and legs. They can make every exo-suit and helm available, just not arms and legs, I've had to find and loot those so far.

They can have children, yes. Also, they are meant to be a rare race so those other problems can't be helped. However, they don't need to eat so seeds is less of a problem I think.

They don't need to eat? Huh, I guess I've never really checked, I just assumed they would need to seeing as they still drink water and Dwarf Therapist says some are grouchy that they're being kept from alcohol.

Fair enough on them being rare. Might take a while to bring the forts population up, but at least there's some hope for the fort yet.

Hello! Really enjoying your mod, and really enjoying the great world you've come up with.

I have found a few problems over the last few days though. My current fort is populated by Technasaura, and I'm unsure whether it's intentional or not that they are unable to embark with axes or seeds. Seeds aren't too big of an issue, as I don't think their alcohol dependent so waters good enough, and fishing provides plenty of food. Axes, on the other hand, do. I thought I could just make an axe by crafting more Nanotechne bars, but whenever I order more grade-C bars to be crafted, for some reason new bars are not being made - my stock of Nanotechne bars remain the same, whilst other metal bars used in the process are used up. I even tried buying an Nanotechne anvil off some traders and melting it down, and when I tried crafting more grade-C bars, my stock actually reduced from 4 to 2 bars. I think my smelters might be using multiple bars of Nanotechne grade-C, so no new bars are really being produced, except for the occasional time the stocks go from 2-3, then back to 2 again.

This issue is pretty bad. Trying to craft more grade-C bars is purely detrimental, and I'm going to have to rely entirely on trading to get any weapons and armour, and as I've had no axes for a long while, I have very few beds, but more importantly lots of trees getting in the way stopping me from building upwards.
