Seeing as your relative comes from the Old World we can assume that castration would not prevent inheritance.

saw this andthough id suggest a change

when mining with boomsticks u have to get ur torch from urt hand, lit a boomstick, put the torch back into hands and use the lit boomstick on a voulder

could we also get to pick up a boomstick from inventory, right click on the hand with the torch and haveit lit then? would also make sense and more easier mining

What seems like a simple request is unfortunately not so simple. If I were to do what you are saying here then it would allow the boomstick to light even if the torch is not lit. And if I were to simply check for a "lit torch" then it would fail to work on other fire sources than torches.

It could certainly be done, but it would probably require some tampering with the substance transfer codez which I have no immediate interest in digging into in the near future. Sorry. I like the idea but upon a further look its not a priority for the effort it would be.

put stones in a fire for 5 mins, they turn into red hot stones, if you pick them up in your inventory you loose some blood

Fake coffins that have nothing to do with inheritance but will effectively represent your dead popham character's grave for you to keep at home, where all kins should live. Even that one filthy cow rancher uncle that was too inappropriate to invite home. Would be able to get some certificates at popham end with just the char name to throw into such a fake coffin so it says "Here lies charname".

Wait wait wait. You want me to implement that exact same mechanic that exists now, simply because you are too lazy to bring back the skeleton of your fallen char to bury him properly?

Oh, I didn't explain properly. Meant home on providence after Popham ends :D Considering Provi is the only permanent home, we could have a nice graveyard by the end of the many-eth expedition. Mine's already in a crypt, cause he deserves the best :D
