Total noob here (just started a couple days ago and absolutely loving it) but couldn't help from chiming in.loftar wrote: Heaths (and bogs) should yield peat, but it seems that has limited uses.
Peat is awesome stuff!
*Long burning period -> Campfire upgrade -> WALLS OF FIRE
*Dry it and use it as an alt industrial fuel (who needs trees anyway)
*Burn it and have a chance to get metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bog_iron)
*Use for soil improvement for farming and tree growth
*Plant your own peat bog to gain some ancestral blessings on your claim? Or at least a fun and exciting way to dispose of the corpses of your enemies. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollund_Man)
