Ashes... ashes everywhere!

Also some more uses for ashes would be nice.
For example, throwing them into the field would provide a small quality bonus. You could throw ashes to the field once during the growth of the plant for it to be effective.

Honestly, there are enough recipes to make the ashes useful. They aren't used not because of lack of uses, but because of the steps, you have to make to craft some + they are involved in some super-stupid recipes of non-rewarding curios. For instance, crafting the dark effigy or a policeman doll.

I'm all for grinding coal into ashes. In fact, I would like to see more use for coal than just being fuel and iron enrichment, maybe in medicine or in pigments (replacing ashes as an optional alternative). I've been making lots of tar for building (i.e. quantity over quality) and have huge piles of LQ coal I have little use for, being a hermit that likes to keep things small scale. They're starting to take up too much space.

Coal really isn't a replacement for ashes as ash is a complex mix of salts and organic chemicals. Coal is nearly pure carbon. Charcoal is mostly pure carbon.

As far as having a bunch of low Q coal around... I'm sure there are uses for it.

Please elaborate on your ideas that are not including "fueling your fireplace to light your torches off of."

off the top of my head, i'd go with "smelting shitty ore to make shitty metal for mine supports" but that's about all i can think of.
but a curio using coal as an ingredient would be a good idea

Did the fuel exploit get fixed and I just missed in patch notes or I forgot about it?

wait, high quality fuel still means something? i thought everyone had like 30 stockpiles of "good" fuel sitting around by this point. i don't think i've cheesed the fuel 'sploit since like, the beginning of the world.

in either case i will have to concede that point, then, but i'd rather break the stockpiles than use 11-and-then-1 or 8-and-then-9 on my smelters to use up the shit coal instead of the 300+ ql (that ultimately barely makes a difference to me) i've got coming out of my ears.

Well, if you've got that much coal laying around, I guess you don't need to worry about it. I don't know what anyone's base looks like and was merely hinting that there are things to dump your crap coal into so you don't need to make a lot more to run smelters and ovens.
