| + | '''Potash''' is a [[wood industry|wood-based]] product which has applications in [[farming]], as well as production of mid- and high-end [[glass industry|glass]] products. | ||

| + | ==Producing potash== | ||
| + | Potash can be created at an [[ashery]] by a [[dwarf]] with the [[potash maker]] labor enabled. This process requires one unit of either [[ash]] or [[lye]], though as lye is produced from ash, going that route is less efficient with no added benefit. As ash must be produced by [[wood burner|burning logs]] at a [[wood furnace]], production of one unit of potash requires one unit of wood and two (ash route) or three (lye route) actions. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Potash is produced in [[bars]] with no quality level. These bars can be stored in bar [[stockpile]]s, and are viewable in the stocks screen under "bars." | ||

Potash can be used to [[Farming#Yield and Fertilization|fertilize]] a [[farm plot]], increasing the stack size of harvested plants. Doing so can help cut down on the need for large farms, which may result in less labor overall. | Potash can be used to [[Farming#Yield and Fertilization|fertilize]] a [[farm plot]], increasing the stack size of harvested plants.

Alternatively, potash can be further processed into [[pearlash]] at a [[kiln]] or [[magma kiln]]. This material is necessary if you wish to produce [[glass]] products of [[clear glass|clear]] or [[crystal glass|crystal]] quality. Because potash is a wood-based product, [[elves]] will refuse to [[trade]] it. | Alternatively, potash can be further processed into [[pearlash]] at a [[kiln]] or [[magma kiln]].

In modern times, they are used primarily in production of fertilizer, though they were once part of glass and soap production. While modern production methods have developed, this substance was once produced by soaking plant ash in a pot full of water, thus the name ''pot-ash | + | [[Wikipedia:Potash|Potash]] refers to a wide variety of potassium-bearing salts, first produced in roughly 500 CE.
