''For temperature as it relates to choosing an embarkation site, see [[DF2010:Climate|Climate]].''

==Temperature scale==
Dwarf Fortress uses its own temperature scale in most cases, often called "Degrees [[Urist]]" on this wiki.
So if you see something like [HOMEOTHERM:10067], don't be amazed.

[[Magma]]'s temperature is 12,000° Urist.

The highest possible temperature in Dwarf Fortress is 60,000°U - the temperature 60,001°U is used internally for temperatures which have been set to "NONE".

===Conversion===

[DF scale] = [FAHRENHEIT] + 9968

[DF scale] = [CELSIUS] * 9/5 + 10000

[DF scale] = [KELVIN] * 9/5 + 9508.33

[DF scale] = [RANKINE] + 9508.33

''(Note: Mod-makers may find this [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=80523.0 Temperature Conversion Utility] handy if they find themselves having to convert a lot of temperatures to and/or from Degrees Urist.)''

:1 - Yes, temperatures in Dwarf Fortress can go '''far, far''' below absolute zero, which is physically impossible. Considering Dwarf Fortress also allows {{L|water wheel#Perpetual motion|perpetual motion}}, it's best not to ask questions.
:2 - Technically, fractional/decimal temperatures are not possible in Dwarf Fortress, as they are stored as unsigned 16-bit integers. For instance, body temp for humans in the raws is rounded to 10067.


Some general information about temperatures in DF (copied from somewhere on the forums):

|}

==Melting point==

This is the temperature at which an object will melt. Any material with a melting point over 12,000 °U is {{L|magma-safe}}.

==Boiling point==

This is the temperature at which an object will evaporate.

==Ignition point==

This is the temperature at which an object will catch fire, if at all. If it doesn't it is {{L|fire-safe}}.

==Heat damage point==

This is the temperature above which an object will begin to take {{L|wear|damage}}. Flammable items without a heat damage point (or with an exceptionally high one) will take damage very slowly, causing them to burn for about 9-10 months before disappearing.

==Cold damage point==

This is the temperature below which an object will begin to take {{L|wear|damage}}.

==Specific heat==

This determines how long it takes an object to heat up or cool down. An object with high specific heat will change temperature more slowly.
