v0.34:Lye
This article is about an older version of DF. |
Lye is made by a dwarf with the lye making labor enabled at an ashery, and requires 1 bar of ash and 1 bucket. Ash is made from wood by a wood burner at a wood furnace.
Lye is used to make soap and potash, though potash can also be made directly from ash.
Lye is moved from buckets into a barrel if you have a food stockpile with "misc. liquid" enabled, and a spare barrel. However, a bucket of lye can be used directly to make soap, and lye that is in a stockpile cannot be used.[Verify]
If you order lye from your outpost liaison, lye will arrive in the next trade caravan. The lye will already be in barrels.
Lye freezes in cold weather. You'll have to wait until it thaws in order to make soap. Magma helps unfreeze lye.
Lye is located under Food -> Misc. Liquids in the Stocks screen.
