Does Flingomatic's Emergency Mode do anything?

[Faintly Macabre]

Just watched all 80+ saplings and a nearby tree set ablaze and my fully fueled flingomatic in emergency mode didn't do a thing until I went and turned it on proper. Lost half the saplings. No siren, no nothing. What gives?

Emergency Mode is more or less "off" mode. You're just turning it off.

Were the saplings picked?

Yeah, they were. Will that keep it from kicking on? That's lame.

local NOTAGS = { "FX", "NOCLICK", "DECOR", "INLIMBO", "burnt", "player" }
local EMERGENCYTAGS = { "structure", "wall", "workable", "pickable", "readyforharvest", "notreadyforharvest" }
local TURN_ON_DELAY = 13 * FRAMES

Emergency triggers must have at least one of the emergency tags.

Saplings have the "pickable" tag when ready to be picked, and none of these tags when picked.

Maybe it's an oversight, because it doesn't really make sense.

"workable" isn't a valid tag either, because stuff has "CHOP_workable" for example, the id of the action next to the word.

Here's hoping Klei notice this and fix it.
