As for fixing the fuel bug thats fine. But as a fun mechanic its not so. Having to clear cut the land or raise a significant amount of quality trees is more time consuming and tedious. Add coal, animal/plant oils, and feces as additional fuel sources.

Agree. Adding coal would be great, but could you grind up the Q of it like you can charcoal? (In theory, yes... the idea is to turn the coal into coke, which is near pure carbon and burns better, but that may be a more advanced tech than what the game represents.) However, animal and plant based fuels don't burn hot enough to smelt metals... maybe to heat soft metals to forge, but not iron or steel. (They could be used as fuel for ovens and such, though.) Not sure I want to go picking up "cow chips" from the field in addition to my other duties every day on the farm, though. Game can turn into enough of a job as it is.

The fires against the walls thing was sort of cool at first but it's really not that fun to wait an hour to mine out 2 layers of a wall

For now, we are not doing this, but idk; I didn't hate that mechanic of Salem. We're considering doing something like halving the hardness of a certain tile if it is fired.

I like this a like a lot. Primitive mining worked exactly like this and I <3 it.

More importantly, coal is specifically necessary for causing the chemical reaction which separates the metal from the other mineral components. ;)

For metals yes. It can not achieve the temperatures needed. However Jorb said the fuel bug no longer exists in any form so that covers kilns and ovens and such. So there are uses for it. Yes I do agree it seems odd collecting manure for fuel by todays standards but it was a common fuel.

collecting manure for fuel

POOP TIERS!

I am loving what I am seeing. I hope I get to see more previews. Once I get into it, ya then ill be suggesting stuff. No point in trying to improve on ideas running threw my head, when I hgave no clew how things work.
