[3.85] Riverpig plants appear to be unharvestable

[Saeveo]

Per title, attempting to harvest mature riverpigs fails with the message "this riverpig no longer provides any yield nor carries any usable parts".

Unsure if this is a bug, intentional, or if riverpigs just have some obscure requirements.

The simple answer is that riverpig lacks any properties related to plant products in the flora data located in flora_newherbs.txt
But according to brian.shapiro's flora suggestions thread on the old forum, there ought to be roots at a minimum:

"The Sami were digging for the roots that were eaten with pleasure (Nensén p. 415). Slappakråsse (Grundström 1948:393) or slabbaråsse (Grundström 1948:369), yellow and white water lilies {Nuphar lutea and Nymphaea alba). The rhizomes of these perennial water plants have a strong, bitter taste. They contain toxic alkaloids and need to be processed and detoxified prior to eating (Airaksinen et al. 1986:280, 284, 287, 291). The rhizomes were used as famine food in northern Europe (Airaksinen et al. 1986:279; Kjellman 1882; Källman 1997:122-123; Svanberg 1998:234). Water lilies were eaten by native peoples in northeastern North America (Källman 1 997: 1225), hoewver they were primarily used for medicinal purposes to treat ulcers (Turner et al. 1990:235). There is no information on the Sami use of slappakråsse."

I think it would be appropriate for these lines to be added to .Riverpig. and .Water lily.

It's kind of an oversight and/or unfinished business that the riverpig harvesting was left in its current state. That harvest message surely is confusing - or a bugged in a sense that there never has been any harvest possibility to begin with.

I'll drop a few remarks/thoughts in the Riverpig Harvest? thread.
