Editing 40d Talk:Ash

==Stockpiling==
Not that you want to keep it much... but where do I find how to store ash in the stockpile I am setting up between my wood furnace and my ashery?

-Not that ash is really worth worrying about all that much, but I've noticed (through [[losing|fun]] times, that Magma Men (probably other firebreathing things too) can create ash from plants, trees, and dwarves on the surface at least.  I was running a test site to pump magma around, and a magmaman to offense and breathed fire over my workshops and haulers/crafters.  The dead dwarves and vegetation became ash.--[[User:Dadamh|Dadamh]] 14:48, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

-===Using Potash===
-I assume that only [[planter]]s apply potash to [[farm plots]]?[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 02:49, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
-=== Why? ===
-How useful is potash to your farming production?  Is it good enough to even bother with?  I don't generally run out of food, but I guess this would allow me to use fewer seeds, fewer farmers, and less space.  Also, how long does it take to fertilize crops, and does it impede actual planting?  --[[User:Smartmo|Smartmo]] 18:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
-: See this link [[Farming#Increasing_yield]]. You can had 1.5 times the yield with fertilizer. Bigger stack mean bigger meal, so you need less space to store it, less barrel, etc. --[[User:Karl|Karl]] 21:48, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
-== Burned to Ashes vs Wood Furnaces ==
-What's the difference between Ash from a forest fire and the ash created and collected at a furnace? Is there a way to collect and use the ash from a forest fire as Potash material? Only came up because at the start of the game a magmaman set my starting z-level on fire... So I took the opportunity to use it as fertilizer... Fail :( "... cancles make Potash: needs ashes."
-*Ashes that are just lying around are scenery only, in the current version. :( At least fire can't damage trees in any meaningful way; once the fire goes out, a burned tree can be chopped down and used to make things completely normally. [[User:Arrkhal|Arrkhal]] 16:01, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
-**Trees are Elven constructions.  That's why they don't catch on fire. --[[User:FJH|FJH]] 18:23, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
