− | + | To clarify... Quarry Bushes/Rock Nuts present a unique issue to the flow of your farming dwarves. | |
− | + | Rock Nuts -> Farm -> Quarry Bush -> Farmer Workshop -> Rock Nuts & Quarry Leaves -> Cooking | |

+ | |-> Screw Press -> Rock Nut Cake ----------------------> Cooking (even higher value) | ||
+ | -> Rock Nut Oil -----------------------> Cooking (very high value) or soap | ||
− | + | Thus if you set your Mill/Quern to milling operation and do not control it carefully, this could result in a surge in high value foods at a loss of all your rock nuts, and eventually no nuts to grow more quarry bushes, and eventual starvation. (FUN) | |
