Pots are also only 1/4 as heavy<sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127471.msg4342164#msg4342164]</sup> as barrels made from the same material, with the same capacity. |
− | + | This means '''pots are generally a better storage option than barrels''', saving the industry precious dwarf-hours by hauling faster due to lighter containers. Additionally, a metal barrel costs '''3''' bars, but a metal pot only '''1''', making metal barrels a vastly less attractive option. | |

− | + | They can be made from stone by a [[stone crafter]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], [[ceramic]] at a [[kiln]], [[glass]] at a [[glass furnace]], [[wood]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], or [[metal]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. Pots made from stone, [[stoneware]], [[glass]], [[wood]], [[porcelain]], [[metal]], or [[glaze]]d [[earthenware]] are water-tight and can be used to store liquids, and even for [[brewing]]. Unglazed earthenware can only be used for storing dry items. Metal pots are made using the [[metalcrafting]] skill, as opposed to metal barrels, which use the [[blacksmithing]] skill. The game refers to these containers sometimes as "pot" and sometimes as "large pot" but there is no actual distinction. Pots are stored in the Large Pots/Food Storage section of the Furniture stockpile. Pots are visible on the haul-for-trade screen under Tools section. | |

As with other containers, several factors are relevant in choosing the proper material for making large pots. Namely, availability, value, fire/magma safety, vermin resistance, <s>hippie</s> elf kosherness, and most importantly '''weight'''. | As with other containers, several factors are relevant in choosing the proper material for making large pots.

− | + | But in the case of large pots, stones are typically used chiefly due to their abundance, especially for young outposts. Doing so will conserve wood (likely the only other economic choice) for tasks for which stones cannot be used, such as making beds, bins, bolts, crossbows, charcoal, wheelbarrows, cages, and many other items of various usefulness and importance. | |

Unless, of course, the embark location has trees aplenty, making it viable to use wood for most everything, including pots, though this obviously requires a sufficient amount of woodcutters, wood crafters, axes, and contempt towards the <s>tree-huggers</s> elves. | Unless, of course, the embark location has trees aplenty, making it viable to use wood for most everything, including pots, though this obviously requires a sufficient amount of woodcutters, wood crafters, axes, and contempt towards the <s>tree-huggers</s> elves. | ||
