Please let us pick grass growths in fort mode?
« on: April 25, 2015, 10:51:17 pm »

This isn't exactly a bug because it's only relevant with mods, but I do think it's an oversight? In fortress mode, gatherers ignore usable ([STOCKPILE_PLANT_GROWTH]) growths on plants with the [GRASS] token.

The reason this is unfortunate is that not all of the grasses are just grasses. For example, the cloudberry plant is named after its sweet, valuable berries; but when I added berries to the "grass," my gatherers ignored them. I could get them in adventure mode just fine, but not in fort mode.

It would also be nice to be able to plant certain grasses, as well as orchards, and have dwarves automatically clear up designated clay- and sand-gathering zones.

Are grass growths pickable in adventure mode?

How did we pass from inns with merry songs and happy music to temples of doom and medieval torture with so much easiness and eagerness??

They ignore it for quite a lot of things actually, like various tree nuts.

You never know when you might need a berserk dwarf to set loose somewhere.

With tree nuts you can modify the raw to make the nuts pickable - see the Modest Mod link in my signature for an example. That's a matter of growths being ignored because of what material they're made out of.

For grass growths, the problem isn't the growth, it's the grass. There's no way to make a growth that dwarves will pick from grass.
