0.A-1300 win: the amazing fireproof flammable thread

Game Talk The Garage
1

Thread can be burned, but does not burn. It just gives you a small fire for 40 minutes or so. The thread is not consumed in the fire. Works for stacks and single items. Works in woodstoves and on open squares. (You can also reach into the fire and remove the burning thread without putting the fire out or hurting yourself, but you can do that with anything, which I suspect is a problem with the way that picking up items is handled, not with the way that fire is handled.)

Reproduction:
Drop or throw any number of threads. Light them on fire. Wait about 40 minutes for the fire to go out.

Have not tested on the latest of experimentals or on the stable.

It’s been working since old cataclysm.

Any ammo-type stuff can burn for infinity times.

Probably a variant of the gasoline bug. Thanks for reporting.

bump for 1326, I posted on this, but I didn’t see this thread. My savegame that was migrated from an earlier version worked for this in 1300, that is, fire destroyed wood, but I remember it did seem to stop burning some other stuff, notably blazers which I wasn’t using due to wool allergy, and threw in the fire. Maybe I had collected that wood before migrating to 1300?..
