23a:Bucket

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
This article is about an older version of DF.

Buckets can be made out of wood by a carpenter at a carpenter's workshop, or of metal by a metalsmith at a forge. They are the only item that allows dwarves to take life-sustaining water to wounded or jailed dwarves, and for dwarves to fill channels designated as ponds. Building a well, dyer's shop, or ashery consumes a bucket. Buckets are stored in a furniture stockpile.

If a bucket of water is dropped on the floor*, it will typically be dumped out, creating a pool of "water" on the floor which will be cleaned up by a nearby dwarf with the Cleaning labor enabled. This will not make the floor muddy.

(* This usually only happens accidentally, when a dwarf has their job interrupted mid-task.)

Adding a decoration to a bucket can attach a handle to it, but is not necessary for the bucket to be functional.
