'''Chains''' and '''Ropes''' are items used to make [[Traction_bench|traction benches]], [[well]]s, [[restraint]]s and [[minecart]] rollers. Ropes are not actually a distinct item type - they are merely what chains are called when they are made of cloth.

They are both listed under the "chains" heading in the z-stocks menu, are stored in finished goods [[stockpile]]s, and are generally interchangeable.

Chains are created at the [[metalsmith's forge]] with one [[metal]] [[bar]] (or four [[adamantine]] wafers), using the [[metal crafter|metal craft]] [[skill]] (but are found listed under "Furniture" and not "other objects" in that menu). Ropes are created at the [[clothier's shop]] with one [[cloth]], using the [[clothier]] [[skill]].

Taking a rope with you at [[embark]] lets you construct a [[well]] more quickly. While usually, it's much cheaper to take raw materials and produce ready goods after embark, the [[item value]] of a fiber rope is 20 vs. 12 of the [[thread]]. The dwarves will not enjoy using a base quality item as much, but cost-wise it matters 3 times less than the mechanism.  On the other hand, you can make 4 metal chains after smelting one copper ore (cost 6) into 4 bars once you have your forge up and running, but that won't happen as fast - lots to consider.
