'''Tree Farming''' is the process of creating an environment in which saplings can safely form and mature into [[tree|trees]]. Since planting trees is not possible, a more indirect approach must be used. This technique may be used to supplement a thriving [[wood industry]]. Tree farms require a large area and may not produce fast enough for impatient gamers due to the time requirements involved.

==Method==

Creating a tree farm is generally straightforward, but depends on your situation and needs. Walling off an outside area may do, but if your fortress isn't in a thickly forested area then this may not suffice.

===Soil Layers===

The fastest way to clear out a large tree farm is by digging out your soil layers while leaving the floors intact. Since soil is easy mined and requires no [[irrigation]] system this is the best option for those that it is available to.

===Deep Underground===
[[Image:Underground tree farm.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Freshly irrigated tree farm next to a [[volcano]]]]

If the above options are not for you then your best bet is to dig out a large underground space and flood it. Locate a suitable level and set your miners to work. It may be beneficial to use many unskilled dwarves since the stone produced will need to be hauled away afterward. While your miners and haulers are hard at work set up an irrigation system. Large amounts of water will need to be utilized since evaporation is a significant force when dealing with copious amounts of liquid spread over open areas. Rivers and lakes make excellent sources, but be wary of slowing frame rates especially with lakes. Once every tile has been covered then you can opt to recycle the water by dropping it down onto a similarly opened out space below the first level. This way you may dig out larger farms without requiring more water.

==Use and production==

Freshly watered or sporulated farms will require about a year of growing before trees pop up. In this time a few may show up early, but the majority will mature as a group within the span of a month of in game time. After it is clear cut trees will show up slightly more frequently and steadily at time progresses. It's important to leave it be as it works, so don't try to micromanage it!

Tree farms can double as suitable pastures, but trampling may lead to lowered wood production in the area occupied by grazers. It may be better to have separate pasture and tree farm areas, with the pasture areas being made entirely of up stairs to prevent growth of trees and shrubs.

==Details==

Saplings will not grow on soil that is occupied by rocky boulders, items, buildings or stockpiles. Removal of these obstructions will increase the area saplings can grow on.

Saplings of underground trees will not form in artificial areas until a cavern has been breached. Underground saplings will die if marked as {{DFtext|Outside |3:1}}.

A sapling must fulfill a few requirements in relation to the environment in order to mature. Saplings will not mature if there are many others of the same species in the area around it. On top of this, surface trees must meet a certain density requirement based on the biome your fortress is in. If there are too many mature trees in an area then growth will be halted. Underground trees always grow with uniform density.

v0.34:Mining

{{av}}

'''Mining''' is an essential part of building a fort in Dwarf Fortress. There are several reasons you might want to mine, such as [[exploratory mining|searching]] for various [[stone|stone types]], or simply to create the basic tunnels and [[room]]s in your fort. It refers to either the [[skill]] that performs mining, the [[labor]] assosciated with it, or simply the task or job of performing said labor.

There are several types of jobs associated with this skill:
* '''Mining''' removes the section of the wall while preserving both the ceiling and the floor.
* '''Channeling''' removes the section of the wall, the floor and if possible places a ramp one level below.
* '''Ramps''' replaces the section with a upward ramp, also removing the tile and floor one level above.
* '''Stairs''' carves out upward (or downward) stairs.

Mining can only be done in pre-existing stone or soil; built [[wall]], [[stairs]] or [[ramp|ramps]] cannot be mined. These must be removed using the 'remove construction' option ({{K|d}}, {{K|n}})

== Making a dwarf a miner ==

# Specify your dwarf to be a miner via {{K|v}}iew, {{K|p}}ref, {{K|l}}abor.
# Select "Mining" using {{K|+}} or {{K|-}}, then press {{K|enter}}.
A [[miner]] also requires an available [[pick]]. A dwarf's agility and mining skill affect how quickly they mine.

Selecting the mining labor will disable the [[wood cutting]] and [[hunting]] labors, as they all involve the usage of different tools.

== Designating the area to be mined ==

# Press {{K|d}}esignate to bring up the [[Designations Menu]].
# Highlight the requested action by pressing:
#* {{K|d}} for mining
#* {{K|h}} for channeling
#* {{K|r}} for an upward ramp
#* {{K|u}} for stairs towards the upper level
#* {{K|j}} for stairs towards the lower level
#* {{K|i}} for stairs in both directions
# Move the cursor to the starting point, then press {{K|enter}}. You should see a green flashing cross symbol indicating that it's in Selection Mode.
# Move the cursor to another point to define the opposite corners of a rectangle, press {{K|enter}} again. A yellow area should now be highlighted, indicating the area to be mined. The opposite corner can also be placed on a different z-level, designating areas across z-levels for mining. Tiles can also be designated by using the mouse and left-clicking.

==Mining warm and damp stone==
When designating any digging operation, warm and damp tiles will flash, indicating magma or water in adjacent tiles. Miners can dig these safely, provided there is an escape route. Channeling and ramping designations involve two operations, and your dwarf will be submerged in the fluid when done. Unskilled swimmers can reach an exit ramp out of water if near enough, but magma will certainly cost your miner's life (the flow from either can knock dwarves off ledges, or naturally [[flood]] the fortress.)

==Training mining==
Dwarves gain mining experience for each tile mined, be it stone, ore, gem, or soil. Soil is mined extremely quickly and is one of the fastest ways to train miners. Since the skill of mining also is used in combat, a dwarf with mining enabled that is carrying a pick will increase their mining skill through combat drills. This process is much faster than learning by digging through stone, but not nearly as fast as learning by digging through soil.

The fastest way to train mining is to first dig out upstairs, then remove the upstairs. Removing upstairs (even rock ones) is extremely quick and still provides mining experience.

In previous versions, higher mining skill would lead to more boulders being dug out. As of 0.34.08, the standard drop rate for boulders is 25% and skill gain only decreases the amount of time it takes to mine each tile. The exceptions are small clusters and adamantine, both of which have a drop rate of 100%. Also as of 0.34.08, the Mason's workshop creates four blocks from one boulder instead of the previous one block. This means that for the purpose of constructions or buildings there is just as much stone available as before, although an extra processing step has been added. Tasks that use boulders as raw material now have a quarter as much raw material to work with.

==How to cancel a mining operation==
If you placed a designated area for mining but want to cancel the mining (for example if you approached [[Main:Digging designation canceled|damp stone]]) simply go to Designations {{K|d}} and select Remove Designation {{K|x}}. Then select the starting point of the area you want to cancel with {{K|enter}}, move to the ending point and confirm again with {{K|enter}}.

== Notes ==
To create a channel with no downward ramps, you have to mine out the area underneath the channel first, or manually designate the ramps created for removal afterwards {{K|d}} -> {{K|z}}. If you wish for these channels to be completely inaccessible from the outside, channel out the access-point (downward staircase). Another (more complicated) way of removing any access to the moat is to replace the dug out ramps with constructed ones and creating a cave-in with constructed floors. Rampless channels are an effective substitute for walls against melee enemies that cannot fly, and they can be dug out far faster than a wall can be built. However, channels offer no defense against archers or dragonbreath.

When digging or removing upward ramps, watch out for loose stone or other items that might be in the way, as falling objects can now injure the unfortunate miner.

v0.34:Object testing arena

2012-06-27T21:54:29Z

Sutremaine: Checked 34.11 temperatures with DFHack's probe function.

{{av}}
{{Quality|Exceptional|08:10, 8 June 2010 (UTC)}}
The '''object testing arena''' is a fun place; you can test things, or just have some fun carnage. The arena is accessed through the main menu. Note that the object testing arena is not the same as an arena created in [[fortress mode]].

== Spawning creatures ==
Creatures can be spawned while in the loo{{key|k}} menu. Press {{key|c}} to create a creature. Select the creature type, skills and equipment, and then press {{key|enter}}. Press {{key|Esc}} (or whatever you bound "leave screen" to) to cancel without creating the creature. You cannot delete creatures. You can, however, press {{key|w}} then {{key|l}} to create a stone wall, instantly killing anything on that tile.

=== Inventory and skills ===
While in the creature placement menu, it is possible to add skills to your creatures such as the fighter skill. It is also possible to add weapons, ammo, and armour to your creatures. Creatures unable to use the weapons given to them will drop them upon unpausing, but creatures such as dwarves will happily use the weapon as long as they at least have dabbling in the weapon skill. You can also set exactly how much of a certain item you want when you select it, by using the {{key|+}} or {{key|-}} keys, which is the only way to get a creature to hold more than one piece of ammo, as the arena lacks an option for spawning quivers or backpacks.

=== Teams ===
It is possible to 'Team' creatures up by pressing {{k|s}} and {{k|d}} in the Creation menu which is shown on the top left hand side. There are 99 teams, as well as "Independent", which is the default and acts as every creature for himself.

In this way you can create simulated battles against beasts or enemies. For example, you can test twenty sword-users versus twenty macemen and analyze the battle from the gamelog.txt.

[[Necromancer]]s and [[mummy|disturbed dead]] that are marked as Independent will not be at peace with the [[undead|zombies]] that they raise. This is not a bug because arena independence overrides anything else.

== Fighting in the Arena yourself ==
Loo{{key|k}} at any creature, and press {{key|a}} to play as them, and {{key|ctrl+a}} to exit back to the main mode.
*The controls here are exactly the same as in [[Adventurer mode]], if you are playing a previous version of Dwarf Fortress you may be unable to set combat preference (as it used to require the same key to stop controlling a unit)

*Attempting to {{key|a}} a corpse results in the corpse being butchered.

== Spawning liquids ==
From the loo{{key|k}} menu, press {{key|l}} to spawn a 7/7 unit of lava, or {{key|w}} to spawn 7/7 water on the currently selected tile. If you place water and then lava in the same tile, they will immediately form a 'Rough-hewn Rock Wall' (i.e. before you unpause, or immediately as you do), resulting in no spillage. However, placing lava and then water simply fills the tile with water, with the same effect as placing water without magma. You can place fluids in a tile that also has a wall in it; the result is a tile with both a wall ''and'' 7/7 units of the fluid you placed (water or lava). This combination behaves exactly the same normal water without the wall would, except the area is still considered inaccessible for water to move through.

==Modifying the Arena layout==
The layout of the arena zone is stored in <Dwarf Fortress dir>\data\init\arena.txt

This .txt doesnt change the arena space, just whats in it when you enter.

The arena is composed of 9 z-levels (including 0, from Z=-4 to Z=4) of 144 x 144 tiles; the contents of each tile are specified by a single character:

{| {{prettytable}}
|- bgcolor="#ddd"
! Character
! Description

|-
| {{k|#}}
| Empty tile1

|-
| {{k|.}}
| Block floor

|-
| {{k|P}}
| Block pillar/wall

|-
| {{k|R}}
| Block ramp

|-
| {{k|F}}
| Block fortification

|-
| {{k|+}}
| Water source?1 2
|-
| {{k|W}}
| 7/7 water1
|-
| {{k|w}}
| 7/7 water + ramp

|-
| {{k|L}}
| 7/7 magma/lava1
|-
| {{k|l}}
| 7/7 magma/lava + ramp

|}

# Tile will have no floor unless a pillar/wall is constructed on the z-level below.
# Only seems to work when placed on map edge; behaves identically to {{k|W}} otherwise.

There is no way of altering the temperature of the arena directly, and the arena temperature is considerably higher than what would be encountered in most areas of a world generated with the default temperatures. However, tiles that have formerly had lava or magma on them are considerably cooler.

The standard arena temperature is {{ct|10069}}, and for some reason the temperature of magma-cooled tiles is {{ct|10037}} {{version|0.34.11}}. Note that the temperature of magma that has not been removed remains at {{ct|12000}}. For comparison, the temperature of a subterranean tile is {{ct|10015}} and the dwarven homeotherm is {{ct|10067}}.

v0.34:Caverns

2012-06-18T14:44:33Z

Sutremaine: /* Benefits */

{{av}}
{{Quality|Exceptional}}
{{minorspoiler}}

'''Caverns''' are ''huge'' natural underground tunnel systems, inhabited by strange and dangerous creatures. They go up, down, left, right, and about anywhere else. Vanilla worlds provide three cavern layers. Number, size and z-position can be altered in the [[world generation]] parameters.
The caverns will usually have open map edges, allowing all sorts of [[creatures]] to migrate into and from the cavern. By exploring the caverns in adventure mode it is possible to travel large distances below the surface - the caverns effectively connect all sites that access them.

Upon reclaiming a fort, all mud in the caverns is removed.

''In subterranean biomes, Chasm, water, and lava mean land, water (pool), and magma (pipes) respectively.''

==Geography==
The top of the first cavern usually resides about 10-11 z-levels below the surface.
Each cavern layer spans multiple z-levels, and is filled with [[water]] to a certain degree. This can range from a few pools at the bottom level to the whole layer being submerged, forming a gigantic underground sea, including [[fish]] and possibly camps of [[olm man|olm men]] and other [[fun]] aquatic creatures.

The average amount of water cavern layers feature depends on your world generation settings, specifically

[CAVERN_LAYER_WATER_MIN:0]

[CAVERN_LAYER_WATER_MAX:100]

Note that if there is no [[water]] in the caverns that your civilization can access you cannot grow any underground [[crops]]!

Beneath the third layer lies the [[magma sea]].

If you hit caverns too often then you can create a custom world with a higher number for 'Z Levels Above Layer 1' - Levels of stone above the first cavern layer. Making this higher will guarantee at least this many levels to build your fortress, but will have no impact on how many z-levels thick the surface layer is. Also, the top of a cavern may be higher than the rest of a cavern, so in practice there will be more levels than this.

==Other features==
Exploring the underground world, you may find a variety of special geographical features. When your dwarves discover a feature, an announcement window will let you know of it.

'''[[Deep pit]]s:''' Deep pits are... deep pits, that connect one cavern level to the next. They have a fixed shape. The top z-level, where the pit meets the next cavern level, is un-muddied rough rock floor where the normal space of the deep pit and the random rock spires of the cavern collide.

If your map has an unseen cave-in at the beginning of embark, the caverns may have a deep pit somewhere. This occurs because some stone in the cavern above the deep pit is unsupported, and falls down. This may be a bug.

'''[[Magma pool]]s:''' Despite the name, magma pools are not actual pools, but tubes extending up from the [[magma sea]]. Their shape is fixed and their presence random. A magma tube might extend all the way to the top cavern, or merely a few z-levels. Magma pools can be distinguished from the magma sea even if they are only a single Z-level high due to two important features: they will always be walled by obsidian as opposed to the standard stone of the layer and, more importantly, will (very slowly) refill to their top if any magma is drained.

'''[[Passage]]s:'''
Passages are natural tunnels connecting two layers by ramps and short, twisted tunnel sections. The announcement window will let you know you've found a downward passage even if you happen to discover it from the bottom.

==Vegetation==
Caverns will, from the topmost to the deepest, feature the following vegetation:

'''Level one''': a benign (or as nice as caverns get) level, it has shrubs, [[Tower-cap]]s, and [[Fungiwood]](s).

'''Level two''': a level filled with, in addition to the above, [[Goblin-cap]]s, [[Spore tree]]s, [[Black-cap]]s, and [[Tunnel tube]]s.

'''Level three''': a level lacking the trees the first level had, while still having those the second introduced, also has [[Nether-cap]]s and [[Blood thorn]]s.

Removing a layer will cause the layer above to randomly pick from trees that the now removed layer could have handled and the layer above can handle.

==Dangers==
There are many, many dangerous [[animal]]s in a cavern, including [[bugbat]]s, [[giant olm]]s, [[troll]]s, [[giant cave swallow]]s, and others.

Cavern level one is as good as things get, and the following levels will [[Cave dragon|only]] [[Voracious cave crawler|be]] [[Magma crab|worse]]. If you can't stand level one, you won't be able to stand level two or three.

[[Giant cave swallow|Flying creatures]] can [[Fun|ruin your day]] if your main stairwell leads directly into the cavern (the bottom of up-down/down stairs can be passed by flying creatures).

Also, any cavern of sufficient size will be inhabited by [[giant cave spider]]s, which can be both [[Silk|benefit]] and hazard.

One thing you really have to watch out for is having your main stairwell lead into a cavern. It doesn't have to be so walking creatures can get in, but just so there's an open hole. Any hostile creature sitting under your open stairway will spook any dwarves trying to use it, causing a flood of job cancellation messages as they keep trying to reach their destination. When this happens it can lead to all your dwarves starving themselves to death. Only build stairs on the side, preferably with a hatch.

==Benefits==
Caverns provide ever regenerating resources in form of underground forests, animals to hunt, and fish.
On breaching a cavern layer, a variety of ores and gems lining its walls will be revealed.
The cavern floors are always [[Farming#Underground Farming|muddied]], providing soil to a variety of underground [[plant]]s.
Also, underground caverns and the water they provide can be used in constructions and traps. Throwing your prisoners into a damp hellhole filled with ravaging beasts is a nice addition, too. Additionally, creating a world without caverns will result in no subterranean plants, plant products (plump helmets/spawn/wine etc) or fish available on embark (or trade? {{verify}}).

Once an underground cavern has been discovered, shrubs and trees will spontaneously grow on any subterranean [[soil]] or [[mud]]died [[rock]] on every embark site that accesses the cavern. This means that if you find a cavern in one embark site and embark in another site accessing the same cavern, plants will start growing there even before you discover the branch of the cavern that lies under the site. This allows you to construct underground tree farms and avoid sending dwarves to the surface to harvest wood, or just to get wood in environments without above-ground forests.

As walls can be built right up to the map edge below ground, it is possible to prevent land creatures from spawning by turning all the spawn points into walls. A single level of wall is sufficient to halt non-fliers, who will appear on the wall and be unable to get down into the cavern itself. Fliers can be stopped only by building walls up to the ceiling, and swimmers can't be prevented from spawning without obsidianising the water tiles on the map edge. The next best thing is to block off access, which can be achieved by dropping a layer of natural stone wall into the water.

===Creatures===
Cage traps placed in the caverns can capture pets to tame.

==When should I start exploring?==
[[Image:Cavern.png‎|thumb|right|A cavern found underground.]]
You should have a working military. The first cavern usually has few hazardous monsters, apart from the occasional [[giant olm]] or [[giant toad|toad]] and [[giant cave spider]]s, but just one giant bat can destroy an early fort, and [[Forgotten beast|uninvited guests]] will wander in sooner or later. The subsequent caverns will become increasingly [[fun]], so don't dig too deep without making adequate preparation. You can handle what tries to attack, presuming you don't have a [[siege]] to worry about.

You can of course explore a cavern without a military, but you will likely get a bunch of dwarves killed.

Not all parts of a cavern are immediately visible; A good portion of a cavern is revealed once you breach it, but other parts remain hidden until your dwarves explore them. Since you often don't know what you'll find in a cavern, they can be exciting places, but also very dangerous.

==Methods of Exploration==
There are many different methods of exploring, some less fun than others.

'''Dwarf team''': The most entertaining method, you can have dwarves manually explore the cavern by foot. This can be done by ordering your [[squads]] into the cavern with move orders. If you use this method, it is recommended that you equip your dwarves well. The {{k|s}}quad:{{k|a}}ttack:{{k|l}}ist command will help you find and kill enemy creatures which may be located on many different z-levels inside the cavern.

Note that creatures may wander into the cavern from the edges, so, if you want to start collecting silk, gems, ore and the other valuable loot in a cavern, and you want to do so safely, you should first kill or capture the creatures in the cavern, and then you can wall off the edges to keep new creatures from wandering in. Note that, if you want to keep flying creatures out, your walls will need to cover the edge of the cavern from the floor to the ceiling. If you'd still like to fight or capture wandering creatures, but don't want them killing your workers, you can leave some room for creatures to get in, and build doors or cages as necessary.

'''Fortifications''': as dwarves can see through [[fortification]]s, you can carve out a fortification near the edge of the explored area to safely discover more of the cavern. This prevents wildlife and [[megabeast]]s from entering your fort, as an added benefit. This method does not work for exploring the magma layers - or rather, it ''does'' work, but for a very, very brief time during which there is much [[fun]].

'''Digging and walling''': Instead of [[smoothing]] a wall and then carving a fortification, it can be quicker to just dig out the wall and then blocking off the opening with a [[construction|constructed]] wall. The disadvantage over the fortification method is that if any dangerous creatures are lurking unseen near edge of the explored area they might get to your dwarf before the wall can be put up.

'''Digging from above''': The only method that works in the magma layers, this method requires you to dig a hole from above the caverns into the cavern. It is advisable to seal the hole afterwards if you wish to prevent flying or magma creatures from entering your fort.

'''Autonomous Dwarven Cavern Rover''': [[Activity_zone#Pit.2FPond|Pit]] an animal into the cavern through an access tunnel above the cavern floor, walling it up afterward if you wish. The animal will wander the cavern, revealing more of it, and possibly stumble across things you would prefer your dwarves not encounter unaware. Use a female animal when you have a male of the same species somewhere in your fortress to produce a population of self replicating rovers. If the animal is tame, its movement can be somewhat controlled by creating a [[Activity zone#Meeting Area|meeting zone]] in the place you would like it to move to.

'''Suicide mission''': Ideal for exploring the bottom of a deep pit or magma pool. Knock a dwarf or animal into the pit, and they will rapidly plummet. Despite being unconscious, they will report everything they see for as long as they are alive. [[Noble]]s, [[cat]]s and [[vampire]]s make excellent geonauts.

'''Separate tunnels''': Digging exploration tunnels from within your fortress will result in a direct path from the caverns to your fortress- this can result in enormous volumes of fun. Players seeking to avoid fun may instead choose to start their exploration tunnels from elsewhere on the surface, outside the fortress. This guarantees that any threats released through exploration must pass through the same entrance utilized by surface threats, such as goblins or elephants, before they can access the fortress.

This method is recommended in conjunction with the "Digging from above" method. Placing the tunnels as close as possible to the edges of the map will reduce obstruction to the fortress. Magmawiki assumes no liability for any potential damage to lesser surface races resulting from the release of subterranean monsters directly into the surface world.

==Adventurer Mode==
You can enter a cavern with an [[Adventurer_mode|adventurer]] and explore it. The dangers are obvious; Nasty creatures, pitfalls, etc. But you also have to watch out because you can't fast-travel underground. That means no easy healing, so you have to be very careful. Make sure you stock up on food, water and (if you use it) ammunition before you head in, though, as caverns are quite massive and it can be difficult to find your way back. Luckily, there are tribes of animal men underground; Unlike in fortress mode, they are your friends. Some of them can even be hired. Camps almost always have food, and usually some other items as well, though probably less useful. Since you can't fast-travel, you have to rely on sleeping to heal, which can be dangerous due to the [[Giant cave spider|nature]] of caverns. If you sleep in a camp, the tribe will try and protect you from [[Forgotten beast|whatever]] [[Troll|shows]] [[Blind cave ogre|up]]. Escaping from the caverns by the same route used as an entrance can be very difficult, though if you manage to reach a cavern area immediately underneath a town you will be able to fast-travel to the surface.

==Caravan and embark item availability==
[[Embark]]ation and dwarven [[caravan]]s will only provide resources available in the first cavern level. Since [[purring maggot]]s don't appear in the first cavern level, unlike in 40d, you can't buy dwarven [[cheese]] or dwarven [[milk]] {{Bug|1449}}. A workaround is to edit the global [[raw file]]s to make purring maggots appear on level one, [[world generation|generate a new world]], then edit the raws of the new world to change the maggots back to normal before embark.

v0.34:Stone management

2012-06-13T00:23:22Z

Sutremaine:

{{quality|Exceptional|12:20, 6 October 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

An established fortress with a reasonable amount of [[mining]] can create excess [[stone]]s and [[ore]]s. These may have a detrimental effect on the aesthetics of a fortress, so '''stone management''' techniques are often used.

== Hide ==
Extra stone lying around causes little problems beyond being unsightly. You can hide stones individually using {{k|k}}-{{k|h}}. You might need to scroll in the Loo{{k|k}} menu to choose the stone you wish to hide. You can hide many stones at a time by using the designate menu. Choose {{k|d}}-{{k|b}}-{{k|h}} and then select the stone you wish to hide by mouse or rectangle.

Please note, however, that stockpiles with hidden items on them will appear to have space available but can't be used for non-container items (like stone but not a barrel). This can be troublesome when your food stockpile appears to have room but your kitchen and farms clog up with food that will rot. Or furniture cluttering up the carpentry/masonry shop due to hidden stone blocking the furniture stockpile. Use the "Dump" method for stones on stockpiles to fix.

== Dump ==
This method is easy and useful. However, some view it as an [[exploit]], and it may not be allowed in later versions.

# Make a [[zone]] of 1x1 or 1x2 tiles, preferably either near the stones you want to get rid of or your stone-needy [[workshop]]s, and mark it as a garbage dump.
# Press {{k|k}} and find a stone. Press {{k|d}}, and the stone will be marked for dumping. Alternatively, use the stocks menu (faster for mass dumping, but requires some [[bookkeeper]] labor first). You can also use {{k|d}},{{k|b}},{{k|d}} to designate mass items for dumping. You could also use a [[Macros_and_Keymaps#Designation_Dump|dumping macro]] to designate large amounts of stones at once. However, macros do not discriminate between stones and other items, so it is best to use them right after you dig out a new area. Be careful when you mark areas containing cave spider silk for dumping, as dwarves will actually come along and ''destroy'' the webs!
# A dwarf with refuse-hauling enabled will take the stone to the garbage dump.
# Every dumped stone will be marked as "[[forbid]]den." Use the [[stocks]] menu to globally un-forbid types of stone, or use the designation 'Reclaim Items' ({{k|d}}-{{k|b}}-{{k|c}}) to reclaim the entire pile. ''(If you want to only use specific stones, you must press {{k|k}}, find the pile, and press {{k|f}} on every stone you want on the list, using {{k|+}}/{{k|-}} to navigate through the list. [[Macros_and_Keymaps|Macros]] may come in handy when employing this method.)''
* '''Advantage''':
** No matter how many stones you mark for dumping, they will all be placed on the same tiny garbage tile. Conceivably, every single stone and ore in the fortress can fit on 1 tile.
** You can use {{k|d}},{{k|b}},{{k|h}} to hide all the stone in a dump quickly.
** Dumping stone, instead of just hiding, doesn't block stockpiles (unless the dump is on a stockpile).
* '''Disadvantage''':
** Anything else you dump will end up on those piles too.
** Dwarves will [[traffic|crawl over one another]] to get to a 1x1 dump.
** Take care not to lose overview if you use several or temporary dumps.
** It can take a long time to clear all the stone from an area, so you need to be strategic about which stones you should dump and hide the rest.
** Having lots of garbage dumps on different Z-levels will cause the haulers to occasionally choose far away dump zones, making stone management take longer.
** You have to claim stones for them to be used after they are dumped. {{k|d}},{{k|b}} will allow you to claim an entire pile of stones quickly.
** Dumping lots of stones from several different areas can cause Dwarves to run long distances since the AI doesn't look for the closest stone. So it's best to dump stone from one area at a time.

== Pave Floors ==
Digging out a tile (usually) leaves behind a stone. Constructing a floor ({{k|b}}-{{k|C}}-{{k|f}}) on that tile requires a stone. Use the former to do the latter, and you end up with a room with a fancier floor, and no stone. You can build stuff on top of it, too.
* '''Advantage''':
** Since you can get a maximum of one stone out of a tile, you'll never run out of tiles to put the stones back into.
** You can even get the stone back, if you need it later, by designating the floor for removal ({{k|d}}-{{k|n}}).
* '''Disadvantage''':
**Paved floors cannot be engraved.
** Requires dwarves with the masonry labor turned on, which can draw from your hauler base or distract your experienced masons from more urgent tasks.
** Getting the stone back requires removing the floor, and children and/or nobles are likely to respond first, and they work very slowly.
Due to an old bug {{bug|1370}}, building and then removing a constructed floor like this will cause the stone floor underneath to change into the type of stone that makes up the layer (unless the tile contains downward stairs).

== Selective Stockpiling ==
Stone can be selectively hauled with the use of two linked stockpiles. The first stockpile is placed over the area to be cleared, and the second is placed over the stones' final destination. Both of these stockpiles are set to take from links only, and the stockpiles are linked so that the first stockpile feeds into the second. More than two stockpiles may be linked in this fashion.
* '''Advantage''':
** Takes advantage of the new mining drops: no matter the skill level of the miner, the area they mine will always have empty floor space.
** Dwarves can be ordered to clear out specific areas such as stockpiling or plumbing areas without every other free stone in the fortress becoming a valid hauling target.
** No reclamation required.
** If the stockpiles to be cleared are already in place, part of the work is already done.
* '''Disadvantage''':
** If the stockpiles to be cleared are intended for immediate use, they'll have to be linked to wherever they should be taking from.
** Temporary stockpiles have to be kept track of.
** The link status of permanent stockpiles has to be kept track of.

== Making use of stone ==

Use your [[mason]]s to the fullest by creating doors, hatch covers, chairs, tables, coffers, cabinets, and statues. This builds up your mason's skill, and the furniture gives your dwarves good [[thoughts]].

Skilled [[Craftsdwarf|Craftsdwarves]] can produce large quantities of rock crafts very quickly. This trades the problem of tons of stone to the much easier problem of tons of crafts. As long as you have bins, managing a stockpile of finished goods is easy. Crafts can be sold to foreign [[trade]]rs, who have plenty of room for a lot of goods.

You can also use stones (or [[block]]s) to build large structures above ground, and floors over areas such as sand, silt, or loam. The [[construction]] interface might be slow, but not only do you use up the stone from your excavations, but you can also create usable indoor space without having to mine any additional stone.

Building [[trap]]s can use up stone as well. [[Mechanism]]s are also made of stone, and a stone-fall trap requires one mechanism and one stone.

[[Siege engine|Catapults]] can use up stone and train [[Siege operator|siege operators]], as well as providing reasonable defence.

You can make a 'practice pile' where you just have dwarves make lots of furniture out of stones, and then dump those furniture. The dwarves will get lots of skill. Another option instead of dumping is to let them make statues, then plant them outside, to make a huge statue garden. Another option is to craft stone blocks, which can be stacked in bins, and use them in smooth [[construction]]s.

v0.34:Armor

2012-06-09T02:44:11Z

Sutremaine:

{{quality|Exceptional|14:29, 21 November 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

Armor is the protective equipment used to reduce/deflect damage during [[combat]]. It comes in several pieces, each one protecting a certain area. The purpose of each piece is pretty much self-explanatory. Note that breastplates only protect upper/lower torso areas, while mail shirts also cover the upper arms. Ears, nose, lips and teeth are exposed, even in full armor, whilst robes and capes tend to cover the throat.

'''The actual effectiveness of a given piece of armor depends on the weapon(s) being used against it.'''

Keeping in mind the armored enemies you are likely to meet, it is advisable to equip your military dwarves with at least iron armor. Testing in the arena shows that armored dwarves have a huge advantage over the unarmored ones, usually taking no casualties while making short work of their enemies. (But you shouldn't need this wiki to figure that out.) With more recent versions, armour slows down dwarves considerably more than it did in the past. In one arena test, a naked peasant had 951 speed on creation and a peasant in full bronze armour had a speed of 643. An armoured peasant Grand Master Armour User skill raised their speed to 951.

== Basics ==
=== Purpose ===
Armor's purpose is simple: to allow your dwarves to better withstand damage in combat. Where an unarmored dwarf hit by a weapon would invariably suffer damage, well-armored dwarves have a good chance of blunting the damage or bouncing it off altogether, reducing major strikes to mere bruises and grave wounds to serious ones. [[Clothes]], though not specifically recognized by the game as armor, nonetheless also functions in that sense, often blocking weak attacks (and rendering a clothed dwarf a better fighter than a naked one).

A clothed dwarf takes little more than a few seconds to die to a [[goblin]] [[ambush]]. One clad in a full set of exceptional steel armor, meanwhile, can expunge a goblin squad of most of its ammo and a half a minute of its time before finally dying. Dwarves armed only with weapons might be a sufficient response to thieves and local wildlife, but a serious [[military|army]] requires equally serious armor.

=== Types of armor ===
In terms of classifications, armor can be classed into three different types. The first is [[clothing]], made of [[leather]] or [[cloth]]. Clothing can only deflect very weak attacks - say, a [[raven]] bite - but nonetheless can dampen damage. Most dwarves will be wearing clothing; those that aren't will usually be very [[tantrum|unhappy]], [[baby|babies]], or [[insane]]. The second type is [[leather]] annd [[bone]] armor, which is specialized for the purpose from clothing; it is very weak, but still better than nothing. The last type is true [[metal]] armor, made at a [[metalsmith's forge]]; it is this armor that is made by an [[armorer]], and should be used by a serious military.

Though all clothes can protect from damage, a "true" suit of armor consists of the following pieces:
*'''Leather armor''': Protects upper body, leather only.
*'''Mail Shirt''': Protects upper body and upper arms, made of chain mail (slightly weaker, but cheaper to produce).
*'''Breastplate''': Protects upper body, can be worn over a mail shirt.
*'''Helms''': Protect the head.
*'''Gauntlets''': Protect the hands and wrists.
*'''Leggings''': Protect upper and middle legs, made of chain mail.
*'''Greaves''': Protect upper and middle legs, made of plate mail.
*'''Low boots''': Protects feet.
*'''High boots''': Protects feet and lower legs.
*'''Buckler''': Can be used to block attacks.
*'''Shields''': Can be used to block attacks (better than a buckler).

=== Armor skill ===
Armor use trains the [[armor user]] [[skill]]. The exact way in which this skill is applied in combat is poorly understood; in testing the movement speed and armor penetration were the same for untrained dwarves as for legendary ones. Nonetheless, arena testing indicates that more novice armor users are injured far more often than more skilled dwarves, leading to the theory that the skill modifies armor block change.

Every time a dwarf reflects an attack with their armor ([[reports|report]]ed as "the attack was deflected by his/her <armor>"), they will receive 30 [[experience]]. The skill can trained with a [[danger room]], by attacking local wildlife, or through [[live training]] schemes.

=== Shield skill ===
Likewise, shield use trains the [[shield user]] [[skill]]. Shields are a special piece of armor that can be worn on one arm (and cannot be worn with two-handed weapons) and can be used to block attacks better than equivalent armor can (a difference amounting to deflection instead of broken bones), greatly increasing dwarven survivability. The skill modifies how often the dwarf will be able to block an attack with the shield, and is likewise trained every time the shield is used to block an attack, at 30 experience apiece. It can be trained in the same ways.

=== Material ===
:''See also: [[Metal#Weapon and armor quality]]''

{|border="1" cellpadding="5" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0;background:#F9F9F9;border:1px #AAA solid;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left"
! Material !! Workshop !! Labor !! Notes
|-
| [[Metal]] || [[Metalsmith's forge]] || [[Armorsmith|Armoring]] || Best choice; see notes below
|-
| [[Bone]] || [[Craftsdwarf's workshop]] || [[Bone carver|Bone carving]] || Leggings, greaves, gauntlets and helms only
|-

|}

Armor material is extremely important to combat; fully [[iron]]-armored dwarves with iron short swords stand no chance against those clad in [[steel]]. In general, slashing weapons will have difficulty piecing armor made of the same weapons-grade material as the weapon, piercing weapons will be increasingly blunted, and blunt weapons will break bones through armor almost regardless of its material. Rigid armor provides limited blunt protection, and the chain mail shirts and leggings provide next to none. Even adamantine armor only prevents an estimated 13% of blows, demonstrating the utility of the slow but sure war hammer.

* [[Copper]] armor is the lowest-grade type of metal armor, but also the easiest to get, requiring one of [[native copper]], [[malachite]], or [[tetrahedrite]] (next-to-guaranteed on any embark containing more than one metal).
* [[Bronze]] is an [[alloy]] of copper and [[tin]], requiring [[cassiterite]]. It is much improved over copper armor, and has slightly better material properties than iron, but also weights more.
* [[Bismuth bronze]] is just bronze alloyed with [[bismuth]], fancier colored but more expensive to produce and with the same material definitions.
* [[Iron]] is a fairly commonly found as [[hematite]], [[limonite]], or [[magnetite]]. It is comparable to bronze.
* [[Steel]] is the best non-candy armor material, and requires [[fuel]], [[flux]], [[iron]], and [[pig iron]] in its manufacturing. Note that steel is worth its weight in [[gold]]; making lots of armor is a sure way to attract attention, but at least it's going into shiny armor, right?
* [[Adamantine]] is only found beneath the third [[cavern]] layer, plumbing the depths of the [[magma sea]]; it can be used to create unparallelled armor, but is very time-consuming to produce, in addition to being hazardous to mine. It is immensely valuable to boot.

A detailed breakdown can be found [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=53571.0 here].

=== Quality and strange moods ===
Quality is an important modifier on armor. Armor gets a deflection bonus based on quality level, but its effect is only known for regular (1x), masterwork (2x), and artifact (3x) armor; presumably, the quality ranks in between are progressive.

{{DF2012:Item quality/Table}}

This means that, effectively, masterworks produced by legendary [[armorer]]s cut damage done by as much as half. This, combined with the need to produce a lot of armor, makes armorers far and away the most desired dwarves for [[strange mood]]s, and various schemes exist for influencing such an event.

Dwarves in strange moods can produce legendary artifacts, which benefit from a 3x multiplier, three times as good as a more mundane piece of armor. However, artifacts can be made of totally inappropriate materials, and the spectacularly low defensive values of a [[rainbow trout]] [[bone]] mail shirt vastly outweigh any bonuses it gets. This can be problematic when your [[militia commander]] drops everything to retrieve himself his new piece of candy. Nonetheless, artifact-quality weapons-grade armor are very strong defensively.

Strange moods are an exception to the number of bars rule; only one bar is required for the item itself, although additional materials may be gathered for decoration.

=== Attachment ===
Dwarves that have used a particular piece of armor for an extended period of time may grow attached to it, becoming unhappy if it is taken away. This is fine if it is a pair of ☼Steel Greaves☼, but a major problem if they are using what is meant to be interim armor. This happens less often with armor than it does for weapons. These events generate announcements.

=== Mechanics ===
There is no hard difference between clothing and armor, something accentuated by regular clothing's ability to block attacks. Armor can be thought of as metal clothing, thicker and made of materials that have a much better chance of blocking attacks. Armor is, however, different in that it is not subject to [[wear]], and the fact that only non-clothing garments increase the armor user skill.

The availability of specific articles of clothing varies by [[civilization]], and each has its own set of clothing that it can produce. In Fortress mode, shoes and sandals are in the same clothing class, but only the latter can be produced by dwarves, where the former must be stripped off of dead enemies. It is important to understand that dwarves are gender-insensitive; a male dwarf may well put on a dress.

Non-armor clothing can provide some defense, most importantly to areas that are not covered by regular armor. The ears, nose, lips, and teeth are always exposed, even in full armor. Robes and capes will protect the cover the throat and provide a bulwark of low-level protection, making them useful for military dwarves, especially those you plan to send through the [[danger room]].

== Layers ==

The layers are, in order from inner to outer:
*Under
*Over
*Armor
*Cover

==Types of Protection==
The number of regular metal bars needed to make a piece of metal armor is equal to the material size divided by 3, rounded down with a minimum of one. The number of adamantine wafers or stacks of cloth required to create armor is equal to the material size.

* * {{=}} Items without an armor rating are considered clothing. Armor levels 1-3 were referred to as 'leather', 'chain' or 'plate' in earlier versions.
* + {{=}} The armor level of an item with a "+" can be increased by one if made from metal.
* † {{=}} This article cannot be crafted by dwarves (except for [[artifact]]s), but may be purchased in trade.
* [S] {{=}} shaped item, max one [S] per body slot (e.g. plate mail cannot be worn with leather armor, but can be worn with chain mail, and greaves and leggings cannot be combined).
* Materials can be Cloth, Leather, Bone, Shell, Metal, or Wood.

==Equipping Clothing==

Items in Dwarf Fortress must be equipped in a specific order. A dwarf must equip a layer type of Under before he equips a layer of type Over, for example. The complete order goes: Under, Armor, Over, Cover. It is common among civilians to see a dwarf equip pants with no undergarments due to this restriction, even when an undergarment is available. This is typically not an issue with soldiers, however.

There is no restriction on wearing multiple items of the same type ''(Unless the item is shaped [S])''. You can, for example, wear 3 cloaks without penalty.

===Process for equipping a new piece of clothing===

The following variables will be used in the logic below:
:'''Current Item''' refers to the specific item being equipped.
:'''Total Size''' refers to the [[Armor#Size, Permit, and layering armor|size]] of all items equipped on that body part, excluding the item to be equipped (while including those on a different [[Armor#Size, Permit, and layering armor|layer]]).
:'''Permit''' refers to the maximum allowable size of items equipped on the same or lower level as the item to be equipped.

In order to equip a new item, the dwarf (or other creature) ...
:*will determine if he is eligible to wear the item in question (Perhaps the body part is missing/severed).
:*must start with the lowest layer first, continuing to the next layer when no other items of that layer need to be equipped
:*checks if the item is shaped [S], and will only equip the item if no other shaped items are equipped '''on that body part'''.
:*will equip items with lowest permit level first. If two items share the same permit value, the highest size item will be equipped first{{verify}}.
:*then checks if his total size (excluding the current item) is less than the current item's permit.
:*If all above logic is true, the dwarf will equip the item.

===Equipment process example===

Each item is listed in order of being equipped, the primary focus of this example is that the total size must be equal to, or less than the permit size of the item being equipped. Like above, the total size ''excludes the size of the item being equipped''.

* * = Total Size include the size of all equipped items, but does not include the item being equipped
*Red Text = This item cannot be equipped, because the total size is larger than the item's permitted size.

==Size, Permit, and layering armor==

The '''Size''' and '''Permit''' values govern how much clothing or armor can be worn.

Under the old system the lowest "permit" value for any given body part is used: for instance, if a dwarf is wearing a dress (permit value: 50) and a total of 50 or more ''size'' worth of clothing on the upper body, it cannot put any more clothing on the upper body. (This explains why the old [[40d:dungeon master|dungeon master]]s tend to wear several cloaks: they arrive at the fortress wearing only a cloak on the upper body (permit 150), and can put on a total of 10 of them, at 15 size each.)

Unfortunately, [LAYER:COVER] items are the only items playing by the old rules. This much is certain from testing in arena mode.

:*If the item to be add is a [LAYER:COVER] item, add the total item size on the body part, if this sum is '''less than or equal to''' the item's permit value then evaluate as true.
:*If a [LAYER:ARMOR] item is present or to be added and if the sum of the non [LAYER:COVER] items would be '''less than''' the sum of the [LAYER:ARMOR] size+permit values then evaluate as true.
:*If one or more items of the same non-[LAYER:COVER] layer as the one being added are present and if the sum of their size values is '''less than''' the smallest permit value then evaluate as true.
:*If the sum of the size values for all items on the body part are '''less than or equal to''' the permit value of the item about to be added then evaluate as true.

The item is allowed if all rules either evaluate to true or are not applicable. This is in addition to the rule allowing only one shaped item on a given body part at a time.

Example: A helm (30 size,20 permit) means you can put on a mask (20,10) or two caps (10,20), but only two head veils (10,100). Any of these configurations can fit 6 additional hoods if desired.

Example: Wearing a cap (10,15) allows only one face veil (10,100), because they are both [LAYER:UNDER], but an additional combined total of up to 9 head veils and hoods is possible.

Note that the armor value of socks and other clothing is unknown under the new system - however, wearing them under "armor" such as boots is recommended for an adventurer.

'''[[Adventurer mode]]''' follows the arena rules so it is possible to have three chain mail shirts (15,50), a breastplate (20,50), and 25 capes (10,300) on ones upper body plus a helm and six hoods on ones head. Confirmation is needed to see if [[fortress mode]] follows the old rules or the new arena rules. (I tested this and found that Urist McNopants follows a totally different set of rules than either of these. His rules tell him to forget both caps all of the hoods both socks and his trousers, and each sucessive time he gets dressed he feels the need to do it differently.)

===Some more workaround about Size, Permit and Layering===

* You can only have one shaped armor piece (marked with '''[S]''') per body part.
* The total size of non-cover items must be ''lower'' than any armour piece's permit + size total.
* The total size of all items of any layer on any body part must be lower than the lowest permit value (excluding that item).
* The total size of all items on any body part must be lower than the size + permit value of any cover item.
* All items are put on in order of their layer.

As an example, lets say you want to kit out your soldiers upper body. Try walking through this in arena mode to get a feel for it.

You start off with a [[steel]] breastplate. This has a size of '''20''' and a permit of '''50'''. It is also '''shaped''', so you can't add any other shaped items; no more breastplates and no [[leather]] armor.

Now you want to add mail shirts. Each one has a permit of '''50''' and a size of '''15'''. You can add three of these if you want. It checks the size against each of the armour pieces permit + size (or rather, the permit value ignoring that items size in the calculation), like so;
* Against each of the mail shirts, you have '''2 x 15 = 30''' total size in mail shirts, '''+ 20''' from the breastplate, matching the '''50''' permit.
* Against the breastplate you have '''3 x 15 = 45 < 50''', fine.
Now if you add a fourth mail shirt these test will fail. However, because of the layering order (mail shirts being armour layer 2, the breastplate armour layer 3) the breastplate is added after the shirts. This results in the breastplate being dropped.

Because this reaches the '''50''' permit limit for the mail shirts, you can't add more non-cover items without substituting them for existing items. If you want a robe (size '''20'''), for example, you need to remove two of the mail shirts to clear a total size of '''30''', which then lets you add an extra size '''10''' shirt, vest or whatever.

However, you can add cover layer items. In this case, cloaks. Each cloak has a size of '''15''' and a permit of '''150'''. Taking into account the '''50''' size already on the upper body, we can add '''100''' size worth of cloaks. This lets us add '''6''' ('''x 15 = 90''') cloaks over the existing armour.

Going through like this for the rest of the body (most of it is simpler) gives you a final setup of;

'''Head''' 
1 x helm 
6 x hood

'''Upper Body''' 
1 x breastplate 
3 x mail shirts 
6 x cloaks

'''Upper Body (cheap)''' 
6 x dress 
3 x robe 
3 x cloak 

'''Lower Body''' 
3 x long skirts 
1 x greaves

'''Lower Body (no foreign items)''' 
2 x trousers 
1 x greaves

'''Lower Body (cheap)''' 
2 x trousers 
1 x leggings

'''Hands''' 
1 x pairs of gauntlets 
1 x pairs of mittens

'''Hands (cheap)''' 
2 x pairs of gloves 
1 x pairs of mittens

'''Feet''' 
1 x pairs of chausses 
1 x pairs of high boots

'''Feet (no foreign items)''' 
1 x pairs of socks 
1 x pairs of high boots

'''Feet (cheap)''' 
1 x pairs of socks 
1 x pairs of shoes

Of course, so long as the bugs are still around, we are likely to see dwarves wearing more than this or refusing to put parts on because they found their boots before their socks.

''Note: "Cheap" implies the set can be made from secondary materials such as bone and cloth with item types not overlapping with the other, more combat oriented set which use metal, leather and cloth (for socks). As a rule of thumb, combat sets provide better protection but cheap sets are lighter and easier to mass produce.''

==Coverage==

There are three tags that govern how far coverage reaches.

:'''[UBSTEP]'''
This token, when applied to torso armor, controls how far 'up' the body an item of armor reaches. Basically you can think of it as going out in stages along the body. It doesn't cover legs. It doesn't cover body parts with certain tags (notably [HEAD], [GRASP] and [STANCE], or the head). It can cover the children of such body parts (such as parts of the face) if it extends beyond them. The upper body and lower body are counted as 0 steps away, and so both always covered.

Breastplates have a default of 0, meaning they only cover the torso. 
Mail shirts have [UBSTEP:1], so cover the upper arms and throat.

A number of clothing items have [UBSTEP:MAX]. What exactly this covers depends on a certain bug, but unless you are making adamantine robes you probably won't get that much extra protection this way anyway. This would mean, for example, they would cover the upper arm, lower arm, skip the hand, then cover the fingers. The same goes for facial features (and, oddly, the throat) after skipping the head and the toes after skipping the entire legs and feet. 
The clothes with these properties seem to be robes, cloaks, coats, shirts and dresses. However, of these only robes and dresses also have [LBSTEP:MAX] (see below) and so I'm not sure if anything else would actually cover toes or not. Needs additional testing.

Testing in arena: in three 15x15 dwarves battles where both sides was equiped with iron battle axes and iron full armor and one of the teams was enforced with leather robes, team with robes was a victorious (2-3 survivors).

:'''[LBSTEP]'''
This token, when applied to torso armor or pants, controls how much of the legs an item covers. Legs in this case are defined as [LIMB] body parts that end in a [STANCE] body part (eg, foot). Arms are [LIMB]s, but end in a [GRASP] hand instead. Because the upper and lower body are effectively zero steps from each other, torso armor can extend this way easily.

Both greaves and leggings have [LBSTEP:MAX] and so cover the entire leg to the best of their ability. 
Mail shirts have [LBSTEP:1] and so can protect the upper legs. A range of other clothes (including cloaks) and leather armor also have this.
As mentioned above, robes and dresses have [LBSTEP:MAX] and so cover the entire legs. These also have [UBSTEP:MAX] and so cover the entire body. Although not the strongest armor, a leather (or maybe adamantine?) robe or dress gives you maximum coverage.

:'''[UPSTEP]'''
This token, when applied to gloves or shoes, determines how far up the limb the armor protects. As with [LBSTEP], this doesn't cover anything but the [LIMB] tag body parts, but it does cover arms as well as legs.

Low boots literally only cover the foot. 
High boots have [UPSTEP:1], so cover the lower leg. If you consider the upper legs can covered by [LBSTEP] from above, you can effectively have an entire layer of chain armor on the legs from high boots and a mail shirt even before adding leg armor. This is why I go with greaves for a plate layer.
Gauntlets have [UPSTEP:1], so cover the lower arms. Because there is no other protection for arms as there is for legs, you need gauntlets and mail shirts to protect your arms fully.
Chausses are a very rare sock substitute, but they are the only items to have [UPSTEP:MAX] and so offer full leg coverage while being exactly the same size as regular socks. The perfect undergarment.

The whole method is pretty nifty with just two problems. 
* Faces can't be covered by head armor.
* Throats cannot be protected by metal armor (except adamantine cloth).

Toes and fingers are protected by the relevant armor type (e.g. gauntlets cover fingers and boots cover toes).

== Other Restrictions ==

In fortress mode, "under" layers cannot be put on over "over" layers, so, for instance, a dwarf cannot put on socks unless it first removes its shoes. They can wear over layers without putting an under layer on first, which explains their fondness for "going commando" (trousers without loincloth). Dwarves will only put on the specific armor they are told to put on -- unless they are not told what to wear.

Also, if you do not tell dwarves to replace clothing with a uniform, they will wear it alongside the uniform and possibly come into conflict with layering and sizes/permits, making them unable to wear assigned items.

In adventurer mode, you have direct control over what armor you put on, and are only limited by permit and "one only" (shaped) restrictions. This means you can wear three suits of chain mail (total size 45) plus another suit of chain or plate on top of them. On top of this, you can add six cloaks.

== Bugs ==

In adventurer mode, putting a pair of socks (or any under-layer foot wear) on before putting on a pair of boots (or any over-layer foot wear) will keep you from putting on the last boot. So the order sock, sock, boot, boot doesn't work, but changing the order to sock, boot, sock, boot does. This is a very minor bug.

40d:Furniture

2009-07-17T14:12:33Z

Sutremaine: /* Material requirements */

The game definition of '''furniture''' differs somewhat from what one might expect or is used to from the real world. The most blunt definition is "anything that goes on a furniture pile". Elaborating from that, furniture is something that

*a building or construction can be made of: ([[quern]]s, [[grate]]s, [[mechanism]]s..)
*is part of a building (mostly [[workshop]]s, but also e.g. a [[well]]): ([[bucket]]s, [[barrel]]s, [[anvils]]..)
*can be "build" from the {{k|b}} menu (and thus be placed in your fortress) to create a specific type of [[room]] from (most "proper" furniture like beds, tables, chairs).

For completeness, and to further complicate matters, there are also a few items that are made from the furniture submenu of the [[metalsmith's forge]], but don't go on a furniture stockpile:

* [[chain]]s
* [[cage]]s
* [[pipe section]]s
* [[animal trap]]s
* [[blocks]]

Several furniture items have additional functions, like buckets (transporting water) and barrels (main purpose: contain booze X) and food)

An important exception from the above is [[bin]]s whose sole (but much needed) purpose is to increase the capacity of stockpiles, reducing clutter and hauling.

== Creation ==
'''furniture''' can be created at a variety of [[workshop]]s. All furniture has a practical use in your fortress, though it is sometimes limited to looking nice (statues), creating a [[room]] from it or fulfilling a [[noble]]'s [[demand]] (armor stand). Also, dwarves get good [[thoughts]] when admiring high [[quality]] furniture.

When starting a fortress most furniture will usually be made in your [[Mason's workshop]] and [[Carpenter's workshop]], depending on the materials used. You can also make furniture out of [[metal]] at a [[Metalsmith's Forge]], but this consumes more valuable and potentially rare materials. Some furniture can only be made from certain materials. For example, [[bed]]s can only be made of wood. A few unusual types of furniture are made elsewhere, like [[mechanism]]s, [[siege engine]] parts and ammo, or [[glass]] furniture.

Furniture is produced at a workshop through its {{key|q}} (view building) menu.

The function {{k|b}}uild is not only used for building workshops and the like, but also for ''placing'' items like beds, tables and chairs in your fortress. Most furniture must be placed before it can be used, but a few (like [[bin]]s and [[barrel]]s) are moved around as needed by your dwarves. [[Bag]]s can serve either role: placing a bag turns it into a dwarf's personal storage, but bags for [[agriculture]], [[clothing industry]] and [[glassmaking]] will be taken from the pool of bags that haven't been placed by the player.

When you try to build a bed/door/chair and it says 'needs bed/door/chair', that means none is currently available, not that there has been a problem with producing one. Usually, brand new items are not immediately available because some dwarf has expressed the intent of carrying them to their corresponding [[stockpile]].

== Building a door from scratch ==
# Go to your [[Mason's workshop]] and select it in view room ({{key|q}}) mode and "{{k|a}}dd task".
# Select "{{k|d}} build rock door".
# Wait for a dwarf to fetch some [[stone]] and carve it into a door. You need at least one dwarf with the [[Masonry]] [[labor]] enabled. The higher the Dwarf's [[mason]] [[skill]], the faster the door will be built (it will also be of better [[quality]]).
# Once the door is finished, then go to the space you want to build the door and press "{{key|b}}uild".
# Select "{{key|d}}oor".
# Move the cursor to precisely where you want the door to be, and press {{k|Enter}}.
# If it says 'needs door', that means that the door you made is in the process of being stored in your furniture [[stockpile]] and that no other door is available: you have to wait a bit.
# Select which type of door to put there, and press {{k|Enter}}. The doors are listed in order of distance.
# Wait for a dwarf (with the Furniture Hauling [[labor]] enabled) to come and put the door where you want it.

With the exception of [[mechanisms]], every other piece of stone furniture is built the same way: [[table]]s, [[chair]]s, [[cabinet]]s and so on.

== Building a bed from scratch ==
# Go to your [[Carpenter's workshop]] and select it in view room ({{key|q}}) mode then "{{k|a}}dd task".
# Select "{{k|b}} Construct wooden bed".
# Wait for a dwarf to get some wood and build the bed out of it. You need at least one dwarf with the [[Carpentry]] [[labor]] enabled. The higher the Dwarf's [[carpenter]] skill, the better.
# Once the bed has been constructed, then go to the space you want to place the bed and press "{{key|b}}uild".
# Select "{{key|b}}ed".
# Move the cursor to precisely where you want the bed to be, and press {{k|Enter}}.
# If it says 'needs bed', that means that the bed you made is in the process of being stored in your furniture [[stockpile]] and that no other bed is available: you have to wait a bit.
# Select which particular preconstructed bed to put there, and press {{k|Enter}}.
# Wait for a dwarf (with the Furniture Hauling [[labor]] enabled) to come and put the bed where you want it.

Every other piece of wooden furniture is built the same way. [[Barrel]]s and [[bin]]s, in particular are useful to a growing fortress. Keeping an extra [[bucket]] around is a good idea.

==Material requirements==
*Stone and wood furniture is made from 1 stone or log.
* Most metal furniture requires 3 bars to forge (including pipe sections), except for chains, animal traps, buckets, and blocks, which require 1.
*Glass furniture requires one bag of sand for green glass, one bag of sand plus one unit of pearlash for clear glass, and one unit of rough rock crystal plus one unit of pearlash for crystal glass.

40d:Status

2009-01-24T01:55:11Z

Sutremaine: /* Main Status Screen */

Pressing {{key|z}} during [[Dwarf Fortress Mode]] brings up the '''status screen'''.

This screen contains a large amount of useful information about your fortress and its residents.

=== Title Bar ===
The very top row of the screen shows the settlement name and class, followed by the year and season.
=== Menu Bar ===
Along the top of the status screen, are various choices for sub-menus. Each can be highlighted with {{key|4}} and {{key|6}}, and then selected with {{key|Enter}}. The menu bar consists of the following options:

* [[Animals]] - The Animal Status screen allows you to manipulate animals belonging to your dwarves.
* [[Kitchen]] - The Kitchen Status screen allows you to set cooking and brewing permissions for any ingredients currently in your fortress.
* [[Stone]] - The Stone Status screen allows you alter permissions on various types of stones that may be reserved for specific uses by default.
* [[Stocks]] - The Stocks Status screen allows you examine the number of various items that your fortress and its residents possess.
* [[Prices]] - The Prices Status screen becomes available once you have an [[economy]]. It allows you to examine the fortress's item prices.
* [[Currency]] - The Currency Status screen becomes available once you have an economy. It allows you to examine how much of each coin type you have (and recommendations from your broker on how many you ''should'' have).
* [[Justice]] - The Justice Status screen becomes available once you have a [[Sheriff]]. It allows you to examine any dwarves currently incarcerated, as well as their crime and sentence.

=== Main Status Screen ===
This is the screen that appears by default when you press {{key|z}}.

It lists a bunch of useful information, and grows more useful as your dwarves gain skills.
* The upper left hand corner lists the amount of [[wealth]] created by your fortress. This figure is slightly misleading; it is the total value of goods that currently exists in your fortress that you have created, and that you have not exported. Presumably, this is one of the ways that the game calculates how advanced your fortress is, for determining how likely you are to receive [[immigration]], get be[[siege]]d, or get better trade goods from [[caravan]]s. Note that this figure will only show if you have a [[broker]] with [[appraisal]].
* Below that, the status screen lists trade information. This also requires a broker with the appraisal skill.
** Imports represent the total value of foreign made goods in your fortress. Therefore this includes the value of things such as the clothes brought in by immigrants, the equipment dropped by dead goblin invaders, and so forth. However, foreign made goods that have been decorated, processed or consumed (such as food) do not count towards this total. Goods that are stolen (by [[rhesus macaques]], for example) seem to count towards this total despite the fact that they are no longer on the map.
** Exports represent the total value of goods made by your fortress that you have traded to other civilizations.
** A hypothetical example:
*** You buy (rope reed cloth) worth 50. This increases imports by 50. You then make this into a rope reed bag worth 100. This reduces imports by 50 (since it is no longer considered by the game to be foreign made). Fortress wealth increases by 100. You then export this bag. Fortress wealth decreases by 100, and exports increase by 100.
* Below that, you will see a list of your food stores. These all come with question marks, until you have a [[bookkeeper]] with the [[record keeper]] skill. Depending on how skilled he is, and how accurate you want the counts, you will get better numbers. Note that the Bookkeeper will need an [[office]] to take inventory, and it will take some time for him to count. Also note that the 'Other' class includes immediately edible items (eg. prepared meals, cheese), potentially edible items (eg. flour, syrup), and inedible items (eg. dye), and is therefore an unreliable indicator of a fortress' food stores.
** TODO: Include some sort of statistics as to how many units of food/drink a dwarf consumes per meal/drink/season/year/etc.

* The rest of the screen is taken up by your population display, indicating the number of dwarves in your fortress, and their occupations. Only the dwarves' most skilled occupation counts for this screen. It allows you to see at a glance who you have available, which gets increasingly useful the larger your population grows.
** An important note is that the right hand side, displaying military Dwarves, only includes dwarves that are currently active in the military. When deactivated, these Dwarves are displayed in the left column, under their civilian job.

=== Animal Status Screen ===
This screen shows a list of all animals that are owned by the fortress or its residents, but does not include any wild animals in the region, nor animals belonging to invaders or caravans.

The animals are listed down the left hand column of the screen. Some useful information about this list:
* The word "stray" indicates that the animal is not any Dwarf's pet. In the case of [[war dog]]s, it means the dog has not been assigned to a dwarf.
* Named animals are often a result of being named before joining your fortress, and usually means they are owned by an immigrant. Named animals may also have made a kill.

The right hand column (owner) lists the current status of each individual animal in your fortress. This status can take one of several forms:
* Available - This animal is available for adoption as a pet.
* Work Animal - This animal has been trained as either a hunting dog or war dog, and has not been assigned an owner.
* Unavailable - This animal currently cannot be claimed as a pet.
* Uninterested - Cats, being superior to all other creatures, cannot be assigned as pets. Instead, they will adopt an owner at their whim.
* A Dwarf's Name - This animal belongs to the listed dwarf. Pets can provide happiness to their owners.
* Marked for Slaughter - This animal will be butchered when a [[butcher]] becomes available.

Controls:
* {{key|Enter}} - Toggles its availability. This can only be done on "available" or "unavailable" creatures.
* {{key|b}} - Marks an animal for slaughter. Note that you cannot mark animals for slaughter once they belong to a dwarf. Also, some animals may not be slaughterable.

=== Kitchen Status Screen ===
This screen contains a list of all items currently within the fortress that can be used for either [[cooking]] or [[brewing]]. The items are listed down the left hand side of the screen. A bit right of center, is a column listing the number of each ingredient currently possessed. This number does not seem to rely upon the Bookkeeper, as it never seems to have question marks.

The permissions column to the right is subdivided into two additional columns. One for cooking and one for brewing. This is the most important part of this tab, as it shows you whether dwarves are currently allowed to use the given ingredient for the given task. Possible values are:
* Red - This item could be used for the task, but is currently disallowed.
* Blue - This items is able to be used for the task, and dwarves have permission to do so.
* ---- - This indicates that the given item cannot be used in this way. For example, Deer Meat cannot be brewed.

Controls:
* {{key|c}} - Toggles permission to cook the highlighted item.
* {{key|b}} - Toggles permission to brew the highlighted item.

=== Stone Status Screen ===
This screen lists all [[economic stones]] found within the game. These are stones that have a value and purpose. As an example, [[chalk]] can be used in the process of creating [[steel]].

This screen can be critically useful to you, depending on where you choose to found your Fortress. This is because, by default, economic stones can '''only''' be used for their given purpose(s) unless they are mentioned as the layer stone on the [[regions]] screen. Which means that if you happen to have access to only economic stones, your masons will be unable to use it for building buildings or furniture or the like. If you attempt to do so, your mason will cancel the job, with the message that he "requires non-economic rock".

By going into the stone status section, you can allow your dwarves to use economic stone for any purpose. Simply scroll through the list to the particular stone you have an abundance of, and press {{key|Enter}} to toggle its availability for menial tasks. This will change the stone's color from red to green.

This screen also provides a full list of each stone type's economic uses.

=== Stocks Status Screen ===
The stocks screen shows you a list of all of the goods your Dwarves own. Its accuracy relies heavily upon the Bookkeeper.

The left side of the screen lists the categories of all the items in your fortress. To the right of this, are two columns, listing numbers. The number to the left is the number of items accessible to use, (in a [[stockpile]] or scattered on the floor) and beside that in red is the number of inaccessible items. (parts of buildings, remains of pets and citizens, marked forbidden, marked for melting or dumping, belonging to traders, etc.)

To the right of these numbers are the goods themselves. By pressing {{key|Tab}} you can toggle between the detailed mode, which shows each item individually, along with relevant name/quality data, or the list mode, which shows items in stacks.

=== Prices Status Screen ===
{{Expand Topic}}

This screen lists the price of (most) goods by category on the left. (Most) Nobles can alter the price of a good. Prices are in the form of a percentage.

=== Currency Status Screen ===
{{Expand Topic}}
This screen lists how many [[coin]]s of gold, silver and copper you have minted. It also listed how many your coins of each type that your bookkeeper recommends your fortress needs. Note that many players recommend not minting any coins and the figure given by the bookkeeper appears to have little to no affect on the game.

=== Justice Status Screen ===
{{Expand Topic}}

This option only appears when a fortress is large enough to need a [[sheriff]] to dispense [[justice]].

This screen will show the total number of [[chain]]s and [[cage]]s available for justice, as well as the number currently in use, in the top right hand corner. If you have adequate chains and cages (one for every 10 dwarves) the number will be blue, and red if you don't.

Along the left hand side is the list of people in the room. For actual prisoners, the number of days they have been jailed will be listed on the right hand side, along with the person who jailed them, and their title.

Sutremaine: /* Stone Status Screen */

Pressing {{key|z}} during [[Dwarf Fortress Mode]] brings up the '''status screen'''.

This screen contains a large amount of useful information about your fortress and its residents.

=== Title Bar ===
The very top row of the screen shows the settlement name and class, followed by the year and season.
=== Menu Bar ===
Along the top of the status screen, are various choices for sub-menus. Each can be highlighted with {{key|4}} and {{key|6}}, and then selected with {{key|Enter}}. The menu bar consists of the following options:

* [[Animals]] - The Animal Status screen allows you to manipulate animals belonging to your dwarves.
* [[Kitchen]] - The Kitchen Status screen allows you to set cooking and brewing permissions for any ingredients currently in your fortress.
* [[Stone]] - The Stone Status screen allows you alter permissions on various types of stones that may be reserved for specific uses by default.
* [[Stocks]] - The Stocks Status screen allows you examine the number of various items that your fortress and its residents possess.
* [[Prices]] - The Prices Status screen becomes available once you have an [[economy]]. It allows you to examine the fortress's item prices.
* [[Currency]] - The Currency Status screen becomes available once you have an economy. It allows you to examine how much of each coin type you have (and recommendations from your broker on how many you ''should'' have).
* [[Justice]] - The Justice Status screen becomes available once you have a [[Sheriff]]. It allows you to examine any dwarves currently incarcerated, as well as their crime and sentence.

=== Main Status Screen ===
This is the screen that appears by default when you press {{key|z}}.

It lists a bunch of useful information, and grows more useful as your dwarves gain skills.
* The upper left hand corner lists the amount of [[wealth]] created by your fortress. This figure is slightly misleading; it is the total value of goods that currently exists in your fortress that you have created, and that you have not exported. Presumably, this is one of the ways that the game calculates how advanced your fortress is, for determining how likely you are to receive [[immigration]], get be[[siege]]d, or get better trade goods from [[caravan]]s. Note that this figure will only show if you have a [[broker]] with [[appraisal]].
* Below that, the status screen lists trade information. This also requires a broker with the appraisal skill.
** Imports represent the total value of foreign made goods in your fortress. Therefore this includes the value of things such as the clothes brought in by immigrants, the equipment dropped by dead goblin invaders, and so forth. However, foreign made goods that have been decorated, processed or consumed (such as food) do not count towards this total. Goods that are stolen (by [[rhesus macaques]], for example) seem to count towards this total despite the fact that they are no longer on the map.
** Exports represent the total value of goods made by your fortress that you have traded to other civilizations.
** A hypothetical example:
*** You buy (rope reed cloth) worth 50. This increases imports by 50. You then make this into a rope reed bag worth 100. This reduces imports by 50 (since it is no longer considered by the game to be foreign made). Fortress wealth increases by 100. You then export this bag. Fortress wealth decreases by 100, and exports increase by 100.
* Below that, you will see a list of your food stores. These all come with question marks, until you have a [[bookkeeper]] with the [[record keeper]] skill. Depending on how skilled he is, and how accurate you want the counts, you will get better numbers. Note that the Bookkeeper will need an [[office]] to take inventory, and it will take some time for him to count.
** TODO: Include some sort of statistics as to how many units of food/drink a dwarf consumes per meal/drink/season/year/etc.

* The rest of the screen is taken up by your population display, indicating the number of dwarves in your fortress, and their occupations. Only the dwarves' most skilled occupation counts for this screen. It allows you to see at a glance who you have available, which gets increasingly useful the larger your population grows.
** An important note is that the right hand side, displaying military Dwarves, only includes dwarves that are currently active in the military. When deactivated, these Dwarves are displayed in the left column, under their civilian job.

=== Animal Status Screen ===
This screen shows a list of all animals that are owned by the fortress or its residents, but does not include any wild animals in the region, nor animals belonging to invaders or caravans.

The animals are listed down the left hand column of the screen. Some useful information about this list:
* The word "stray" indicates that the animal is not any Dwarf's pet. In the case of [[war dog]]s, it means the dog has not been assigned to a dwarf.
* Named animals are often a result of being named before joining your fortress, and usually means they are owned by an immigrant. Named animals may also have made a kill.

The right hand column (owner) lists the current status of each individual animal in your fortress. This status can take one of several forms:
* Available - This animal is available for adoption as a pet.
* Work Animal - This animal has been trained as either a hunting dog or war dog, and has not been assigned an owner.
* Unavailable - This animal currently cannot be claimed as a pet.
* Uninterested - Cats, being superior to all other creatures, cannot be assigned as pets. Instead, they will adopt an owner at their whim.
* A Dwarf's Name - This animal belongs to the listed dwarf. Pets can provide happiness to their owners.
* Marked for Slaughter - This animal will be butchered when a [[butcher]] becomes available.

Controls:
* {{key|Enter}} - Toggles its availability. This can only be done on "available" or "unavailable" creatures.
* {{key|b}} - Marks an animal for slaughter. Note that you cannot mark animals for slaughter once they belong to a dwarf. Also, some animals may not be slaughterable.

=== Kitchen Status Screen ===
This screen contains a list of all items currently within the fortress that can be used for either [[cooking]] or [[brewing]]. The items are listed down the left hand side of the screen. A bit right of center, is a column listing the number of each ingredient currently possessed. This number does not seem to rely upon the Bookkeeper, as it never seems to have question marks.

The permissions column to the right is subdivided into two additional columns. One for cooking and one for brewing. This is the most important part of this tab, as it shows you whether dwarves are currently allowed to use the given ingredient for the given task. Possible values are:
* Red - This item could be used for the task, but is currently disallowed.
* Blue - This items is able to be used for the task, and dwarves have permission to do so.
* ---- - This indicates that the given item cannot be used in this way. For example, Deer Meat cannot be brewed.

Controls:
* {{key|c}} - Toggles permission to cook the highlighted item.
* {{key|b}} - Toggles permission to brew the highlighted item.

=== Stone Status Screen ===
This screen lists all [[economic stones]] found within the game. These are stones that have a value and purpose. As an example, [[chalk]] can be used in the process of creating [[steel]].

This screen can be critically useful to you, depending on where you choose to found your Fortress. This is because, by default, economic stones can '''only''' be used for their given purpose(s) unless they are mentioned as the layer stone on the [[regions]] screen. Which means that if you happen to have access to only economic stones, your masons will be unable to use it for building buildings or furniture or the like. If you attempt to do so, your mason will cancel the job, with the message that he "requires non-economic rock".

By going into the stone status section, you can allow your dwarves to use economic stone for any purpose. Simply scroll through the list to the particular stone you have an abundance of, and press {{key|Enter}} to toggle its availability for menial tasks. This will change the stone's color from red to green.

This screen also provides a full list of each stone type's economic uses.

=== Stocks Status Screen ===
The stocks screen shows you a list of all of the goods your Dwarves own. Its accuracy relies heavily upon the Bookkeeper.

The left side of the screen lists the categories of all the items in your fortress. To the right of this, are two columns, listing numbers. The number to the left is the number of items accessible to use, (in a [[stockpile]] or scattered on the floor) and beside that in red is the number of inaccessible items. (parts of buildings, remains of pets and citizens, marked forbidden, marked for melting or dumping, belonging to traders, etc.)

To the right of these numbers are the goods themselves. By pressing {{key|Tab}} you can toggle between the detailed mode, which shows each item individually, along with relevant name/quality data, or the list mode, which shows items in stacks.

=== Prices Status Screen ===

This screen will show the total number of [[chain]]s and [[cage]]s available for justice, as well as the number currently in use, in the top right hand corner. If you have adequate chains and cages (one for every 10 dwarves) the number will be blue, and red if you don't.
