Mard: Removed lye stack bug (as fixed in 0.40.06, mantis #2117) and old "clean self" bug which was fixed in 0.31 era (mantis #1023)

'''Soap''' is a particularly useful type of [[bar]] used for [[clean self|personal cleaning]], which increases happiness ("recently took a soapy bath") and lowers the chances of an [[infection]] in case they are [[wound]]ed, and for cleaning [[wound]]s in [[hospital]]s, preventing infections from developing. It is thus a vital commodity in dwarven [[health care]], and one not traded in [[caravan]]s: you're going to have to make some soap yourself.

Soap is made of two components, [[lye]] and either [[tallow]] or [[rock nut oil]], and occupies a dedicated workshop, the [[soap maker's workshop]]. It thus has a somewhat complicated production process; lye must be processed at an [[ashery]] from [[ash]], which in turn must be burned at a [[wood furnace]] from [[wood]] logs that must first be [[woodcutting|cut down]]. [[Tallow]] is rendered from [[fat]] from butchered [[creature|animal]]s at a [[kitchen]], requiring either [[livestock]] or [[hunting]] activities, while rock nut oil must be [[pressing|pressed]] from rock nuts at a [[screw press]], which first requires [[plant gathering|gathering]] up or [[farming|growing]] [[quarry bush]]es and then processing them into bags. One unit of tallow or oil plus one of lye creates a single bar of finished soap.

Dwarves do not require soap to clean [[contaminant]]s such as mud and blood from themselves - if necessary, they will use murky pools, artificial pools of water, brooks, or a [[well]]. However, using soap will often generate the happy [[thought]] "recently took a soapy bath". It is possible to construct bath-houses (rooms containing pools of water, a soap stockpile, and perhaps a few nice statues) so dwarves living deep underground need not venture to dangerous cave pools or surface brooks to clean off a little mud or bloodstain. For cleaning wounds and preventing infection after [[surgery]], however, [[hospital]]s should be kept stocked with a small amount of soap. Soap will get used up as dwarves wash themselves; the current rate seems to be 1/10 a bar per washing, so each bar lasts quite a while.

Dwarves have an internal "dirtiness" level, which gets lowered when they have a bath, lowered further when they have a soapy bath and slowly builds up over time. This "dirtiness" value is connected to the chance of getting an infection if the dwarf is injured, making soap useful as a preventative as well as treatment.

Soap is stored in bar/block stockpiles with the "soap" option enabled.

A convenient way to keep an emergency stockpile of soap is to use it as a building material for workshops or constructions such as walls. When/if you need more soap, you can deconstruct and get the soap bars back. Since soap in a hospital is reserved for hospital use, this is especially useful in case you start to produce soap before setting up a hospital.

Mard: Removed bug as it seem to be resolved as of .01 (mantis #5739, #5569)

[[File:Dyed thread.png|thumb|right|44x40px|[[Rope reed]] fiber threads]]

[[Plant fiber]]s, [[wool]] and [[web]]s can be turned into '''thread'''. Thread can then be woven into '''cloth''', which then can be used to create a variety of textile products such as [[bag]]s, [[clothing]], [[rope]] or [[craft]]s. ''(For a full discussion of the process and possibilities, see [[textile industry]].)''

A [[dwarf]] with the [[thresher]] [[labor]] enabled can process plants (any plants with THREAD_PLANT_TEMPLATE in the raws) into '''thread''' at a [[farmer's workshop]] with the "Process Plants" job order. Wool is collected from sheep, alpacas and llamas by the "Shear creature" job; the resulting "stacks" of wool must then be processed to yarn with the "Spin thread" job. These jobs also take place at the farmer's workshop and require the [[shearer]] and [[spinner]] labors. With a [[loom]], any dwarf with the [[weaver]] [[labor]] enabled will ''automatically'' collect any spider [[silk]] [[web]]s that are on the ground, turning them into thread.

Animal hair that is produced from a butchered animal can also be spun into '''hair thread''' at a [[farmer's workshop]] using the "Spin Thread" order, but cannot be used for the production of '''cloth''' or related items.

Any '''thread''' can be used at a Hospital to suture any wounds shut. This is the only use of threads made from the hair of non-shearable creatures, as they cannot be spun into [[yarn]].

[[Adamantine]] strands are treated as thread, too: they can be dyed, used to suture wounds and woven into cloth. However, most adamantine strands are quickly turned into wafers, among others to avoid such usage. Especially the use of adamantine for a [[suturer]]'s job is widely seen as a frivolous waste of a rare and precious resource.

Wool

Mard: Removed bugs as they seem to be resolved as of .05 and .06 (mantis #4616 and #5816)

{{Migrated_article}}
{{quality|unrated}}{{av}}

'''Wool''' is produced after [[Shearing]] (or [[butcher]]ing) one of a [[:category:DF2012:Shearable|handful of animals]], currently [[llama]]s, [[alpaca]]s, [[troll]]s, and [[sheep]]. Animals can eventually be sheared again to produce more wool after some months have passed. Wool is stored in refuse stockpile under Hair/Wool and appears under [[Body parts]] in the [[Stocks]] menu. Wool can be [[spinner|spun]] into [[yarn]] [[thread]]s which can then be woven into [[cloth]] at a [[loom]] and be used to create a variety of textile products such as [[bag]]s, [[clothing]], [[rope]]s or [[crafts]].

Mard: updated adventure controls for .40

{{Migrated_article}}
{{Quality|Superior|19:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
This document contains a list of the default controls for Dwarf Fortress as of version v0.27.169.32a. Controls may be [[Key bindings|customized]] through the use of the {{key|Esc}}{{k|↓}}{{k|↓}}{{k|Enter}} menu or by editing the file data/init/interface.txt, but this is not recommended for new players.

Controls are usually listed on the bottom of the window or next to the respective option when you have opened a menu.

Arrows are shown on the edges of the screen if more options are available beyond the screen. Use the [[Controls#Interface|Interface]] keys to scroll through the list of options.

For purposes of the game, note that any key designated in uppercase means to hold Shift while tapping that key. For instance, {{key|V}} means to press {{key|Shift}}+{{key|v}}. Also, pressing a key with Caps Lock turned on will work similar to pressing the key while holding shift. For example, if you want to press {{key|C}} then you could do it by pressing {{key|Shift}}+{{key|c}} or by pressing {{key|Caps Lock}} and then pressing {{key|c}}.

== Interface ==

* {{key|+}} - Next option / Increase quantity
* {{key|-}} - Previous option / Decrease quantity
* {{key|*}} - Next page

* {{key|↓}} - Previous option
* {{key|←}} - Next column
* {{key|→}} - Previous column
* {{key|PgUp}} - Next page/screen
* {{key|PgDn}} - Previous page/screen
When it is possible to scroll the map while a menu is open, the arrow keys cannot be used to select menu options; instead, the {{key|+}}, {{key|-}}, {{key|*}}, and {{key|/}} keys are repurposed to allow selection from menus.
* {{k|F11}} - Toggle Fullscreen
* {{k|F1}} - Save World Parameters from creation screen
* {{k|F6}} - Load World Parameters from creation screen
* {{k|F1}}-{{k|F9}} - Toggle selected biome while on embark map
* {{k|F9}} - Exit certain text menus (Fortress naming, Trade goods menu, ...)
* {{k|F1}}-{{k|Shift}}{{k|F8}} - Jump to bookmarked map point (Set via {{k|h}}otkeys menu)
 
* {{key|?}} - Help
* {{key|<nowiki>;</nowiki>}} - Movies / Stop Recording
* {{key|<nowiki>;</nowiki>}}{{key|l}} - Load a Moving Record
