Can you actually build things out of soap? I'm going to have to give this a try, and make the cleanest fortress ever. Maybe build a swimming pool out of it and force my miners to have a bath. Dangerous Beans 22:07, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Bars is bars, I see no reason why not. I believe you can make things out of charcoal and ash and such, too. Bryan Derksen 22:48, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
Better question- will water damage or wash away a soap wall, bridge, or other object? Hmm. --Eddie 03:24, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
Based on what I've seen so far (wooden walls being untouched by magma) I beleive that water will not damage any structures made of soap, I could be terribly wrong though, just give it a try? --Eb 05:45, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
I started a game with the intention to make a giant soap-bubble for my dwarves to live in. From this experience, I found that it takes a LONG time to even get started building anything sizeable from soap. And, unless you trade for all your lye, you'll get through a LOT of wood, too! I got bored before too long. :( --Raumkraut 06:24, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
