Too Many Fibrous Stalks #75127

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Triffids drop far too many fibrous stalks. And they're so useless and such a hassle that this should probably be a bug report instead. You can't even reasonably fuel a fire with them, because their fuel value seems to be .001 seconds longer than it takes to move them into the fire. And my guy has NO shovel or scoop or handful technology, he's moving tens of thousands of these things delicately with tweezers, and it takes HOURS.

I've based next to a triffid grove to feed my cows, and with only a very modest effort of butchering triffids every day for an in game week or two, I've almost managed to pollute the area so thoroughly as to declare a superfund site with the EPA. The only reasonable solution is to keep moving my butchering setup and burning it in place, because it's untouchable.

Solution you would like.

There should be a cheap and quick bundle recipe to let us at least easily move them, if not increase their burn duration by packing them together.

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Cut the quantity of fibrous stalk drops to 1/50th of its current value.

Additional context

The only recipe for them is plant fiber, and it's not possible to make a dent in current values with batches of 50. It's just pollution. Let's leave a better world for the blob after we're gone.

As you mentioned I think tiny objects should be moved fast with a sholve,thus a snow sholve will be useful

I have seen some mechanized ways to turn fiberous plants into tread so implementing a few of those could help you process large amounts of stalks. Another option might be to turn them into feed for certain animals. I don´t think that cows and horses could digest them but goats are know to eat just about anything and might be just fine with fiberous stalks. Alternatively we could implement composting or biogas.
