40d:Stocks
The Stocks screen, accessible via the Status screen, is a careful record of your fort's entire inventory. It is managed by the bookkeeper, who periodically must update the stockpile records, depending on how quickly your fort's wealth is growing or being depleted.
Layout
The Stocks screen displays a list of product categories on the left side. Next to those categories is the total number of objects you have that fit within that category, listed first as the total number available, and then as the total number in in use.
Precision
The precision of the Stocks screen depends on the settings of the bookkeeper noble. There are five possible settings:
- Lowest Precision
- This setting is precise only to one significant figure.
- Any number from 0 to 9 will be exact.
- A number from 10 to 99 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
- A number from 100 to 999 will be rounded to the nearest 100.
- A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 1,000.
- A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 10,000.
- Low Precision
- This setting is precise up to two significant figures.
- Any number from 0 to 99 will be exact.
- A number from 100 to 999 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
- A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 100.
- A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 1,000.
- Medium Precision
- This setting is precise up to three significant figures. This is a good and practical level to maintain stockpile records at for a decent-sized fort. You will rarely be concerned with exact figures for more than 1,000 commodities at a time.
- Any number from 0 to 999 will be exact.
- A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
- A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 100.
- High Precision
- This setting is precise up to four significant figures. This setting is extremely precise and can be useful for very massive fortresses or compulsive perfectionists.
- Any number from 0 to 9,999 will be exact.
- A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 10.
- Highest Precision
- This setting is totally precise. All stockpile records will be exact. Maintaining stockpile records at this level is a full-time job and is recommended only if you have a dedicated bookkeeper.
If a number has been rounded, it will appear with a trailing question mark and will be displayed in brown ink instead of light grey. For instance, "20?" instead of "17". Above the lowest precision, your bookkeeper requires a meager office, and for every level of precision, will spend more time there updating the stock record.
Inventory
If you have a sufficient level of precision to count each and every item in the given category, you will see an inventory display on the right side of the screen. If you do not have enough precision, the right side of the screen will be blank.
This inventory display has two modes. The first mode is a compacted view which lists objects by type and total number. It is handy to get a general idea of the number of goods you have available. The second mode is an exact view which lists each unique object or stack of objects in your fort. This display is useful for selecting individual items to forbid, melt or dump. To toggle between either of the two modes, press Tab.
In the exact mode, the items text is colour coded.
| Colour | Represents |
|---|---|
| brown | produced in fort |
| grey | imported to fort |
| dark cyan | part of a building |
| dark purple | part of a construction, forbidden or designated for dump/melt |
| dark red | not owned by fort |
