Soap is used by dwarves for both personal cleaning and health care.
Soap is made by combining either Template:L and Template:L, or lye and Template:L, in a Template:L. One unit of tallow/oil plus one unit of lye creates a single bar of soap.
Lye in Template:L can be used; lye in buckets that has not yet been transferred into a barrel may not be usable (see the Bugs section).
Dwarves do not require soap to clean Template:L such as mud and blood from themselves, and instead will use murky pools, artificial pools of water, brooks, or a Template:L. However, using soap will occasionally generate the happy thought "recently took a soapy bath." It is possible to construct bath-houses (rooms containing pools of water, a soap stockpile, and perhaps a few nice statues) so dwarves living deep underground need not venture to dangerous cave pools or surface brooks to clean off a little mud or bloodstain. For cleaning wounds and preventing infection after Template:L, however, Template:Ls should be kept stocked with a small amount of soap.
Soap can be stored in a bars/block stockpile.
Lye Container Difficulties
- Lye that is in a bucket which also contains another substance, such as water, cannot be used for the reaction. Suggested workarounds include:
- Wait for a trade caravan then mark the bucket to be brought to the depot and then cancel it as its being brought. [Verify]
- Order an animal to be Template:L. The bucket will be emptied before being used for milking. This does not work in 0.31.19? [Verify]
- View the contents of the bucket, select the water, and forbid it, then order the bucket be brought for trading at the depot (any other means of forcing a dwarf to move the bucket should also work[Verify]).
Lye barrels that are in a stockpile cannot be used in 0.31.19. The barrels must be removed from the stockpile. Since lye is allowed by default in food stockpiles this requires stockpiles to be reset to avoid this.Fixed v0.31.20.
