Yes and yes.

Will a fire be required to light a shingle and will it be possible to light a fire from a shingle?
I've just started playing a character with 3.84.2. I started in spring (while snow was still on the ground), and it allowed me to set fish up to dry. Fine ... but even after it started raining, it still allows me to hang fish to dry.
Are the "dry and cold" climate conditions just no longer necessary?
Will building prefer pine logs and is it in the possibilities for pines to produce more than a single log? As currently one needs 6 logs to build 2m/6’ long section of wooden wall. Even if log was less than 30cm/1’ in diameter, one would think a single log would produce more wall. And trunk could produce 3-4 logs.
will the random tree trunks found in the wilderness be randomised to match the tile? mostly pine in pine mire, heathland, lichenous pine forest, mostly spruce in coniferous forest, spruce mire, mostly birch in groves?
A preemtive question: Are you updating the punt quest to specify and require a particular kind of tree trunk, or are you updating the fulfillment test to check against any type of trunk?
I would probably go towards a specific kind of tree, given that the quest giver is rather particular in the request, so a species restriction would seem reasonable.
Asked because it's the kind of thing that can break as a result of splitting trunks up while still easy to miss the dependency.
Yesterday I had a dream were I was playing unreal world, whole dream was in the perspective of the game so no manually hitting keys in a dream.
In the game I was being constantly harrased by ever aggresive bears plus for some reason polar bear.
Even while I was visiting villages there were at least 5 on screen milling about until I was seen by them.
Character didnt die but constantly got damaged.
What the hell does this mean? Did any of you guys ever experience this?
In some remote villages in Russia shingles were used as an indoor light source until XX century. Also, a widespread practice was to put a tub of water beneath the burning shingle to extinguish the falling embers, this also very slightly increased the illumination as the water in the tub reflected the light. I wonder if this was also a custom in Finland. If this is the case, it could be nice to implement this in-game, like a tiny increase of illumination, and lowering chances of accidental house fire (if/when it gets implemented) when using a water tub.
