Am i the only one looking forward to the fat/oil rework? Really hoping it means we can farm our way into oil lamps or mass mechanical lubrication. Having giant mechanical projects stall for a lack of fat always felt awful, particularly with how slow pigs breed. As well as making oil lamps viable, rn they feel like an awful waste of fat. Hoping making mass mechanicals more viable is also an opening for more jonastech or machines to help with the grind.

Anyone had the opportunity to test the oil/fat overhaul? Is flax oil made from the grain or fiber? It feels like this may be a big change to progression, fat always felt too valuable to use anywhere outside mechanical parts, as it is a big bottleneck on those. If from the grain of flax, which we want to farm in mass anyways for fiber, we can make a fat substitute. Then oil lamp use will be back in the cards, as well as not having any mechanical project choke on a lack of lubricant so long as you farmed flax (or some other oil plant). Also, sawmills.... Will this mean i wont have to mass cast bronze axes for the sake of filling the charcoal pit? Wonder what it will be for
