So whenever a dragon or fire breathing baddie comes along, they tend to set most of the map on fire, fight? This tends to leave behind large burned areas, and if you 'k' view these tiles they are ashes. So, why not implement an ash collection zone? If you can collect sand and clay in the same manner, why not? It would save having to burn mass amounts of trees for potash. Plus it just kind of makes sense.

Sand and clay collection don't actually remove the stuff from the tile.  Maybe something akin to "gather webs" so that you get the ashes and do some clean-up.

I suspect that ash won't be 'pure' enough for any industrial use, but it would be nice to see the ashes cleaned so grass can regrow. Right now one campfire tips over and the map becomes Mordor, except with miraculously living trees.
Alternatively, coat everything with a contaminant (a dusting of ash?) but burn down to the dirt without a mysterious ashen layer sterilizing the map.

Well, dragonfire, at least, would create plenty of pure ash.
