Chish: Now that I have made 3 edits, I can create my own user page.

* Request: Stockpile Master List page that has a list of every stockpile type and every item type that exists within it. As far as I can tell, we don't have a single central place that tells you which item belongs in which stockpile. This is particularly challenging for items like scroll rollers - they're store in Finished Goods -> Tools. Nestboxes are also stored there, despite them acting like furniture. Display furniture is stored under Furniture -> Other Large Tools. I've always had a challenge parsing each wiki page to see which stockpile it belongs to, because the mention of the stockpile category is usually offhandedly mentioned in the middle of a paragrph, instead of an infobox. [[User:Zestylimez|Zestylimez]] ([[User talk:Zestylimez|talk]]) 16:35, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

* Request: v50's been out for nearly a year now and there is still no page on this wiki detailing what the new granular [[Difficulty]] settings do. Do we even ''know'' what they do? From what I can gather, '''Off''' stops outside enemies from entering the map (but still allows [[Intrigue]] and wildlife treated as dangerous to occur), '''Normal''' is as per usual, and '''Hard''' ensures a nonstop stream of [[Fun]] will relentlessly assault your fort, but other than that, I've no clue. [[User:CobaltNinja|CobaltNinja]] ([[User talk:CobaltNinja|talk]]) 19:20, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

*Request: [[Unusual volcanic wall]] - Right now there's a small section for this new (added in v50) structure/formation under the page for [[obsidian]] but I think it's notable/complex enough for its own page [[User:KM942|KM942]] ([[User talk:KM942|talk]]) 03:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

* Request: I would like to upload a few pictures (that I made and edited for clarity) to demonstrate a modular [[Minecart]] thumper design. [[User:2Bob|2Bob]] ([[User talk:2Bob|talk]]) 15:23, 2 January 2023 (UTC)2Bob

*Request: I would like to create [[The Long Night]] and several associated articles [[The Long Night: Civilizations]], [[The Long Night: Creatures]], [[The Long Night: Materials]], [[The Long Night: Weapons]], and [[The Long Night: Armor]] to form a more easily navigated guide to the new features found in the mod of the same name. [[Special:Contributions/98.212.135.225|98.212.135.225]] 23:51, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
** Since this is a mod, it should go under the mod namespace. I've created [[Mod:The Long Night]]; as it expands, I would suggest creating subpages like [[Mod:The Long Night/Creatures]]. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 01:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

** Done.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 19:47, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

* Request: I would like to create [[DF2014:Philosopher]] and [[DF2014:Sage]] because these are new scholar jobs in 42.xx [[User:Lead Cafe|Lead Cafe]] ([[User talk:Lead Cafe|talk]]) 22:33, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
** Both are profession titles associated with scholars; I created them as redirects to [[DF2014:Scholar]].--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 04:08, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[DF2014:Citizenship]] — here's one article on a new mechanic not currently covered by the wiki, we most definitely need to work on this. — [[Special:Contributions/94.19.200.59|94.19.200.59]] 20:39, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
**Done. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 22:17, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[Masterwork:Titanite]]: I can't find any information about Masterwork's Titanite, either from the wiki or Google. After mining some, I can only cut it like gems. Also need a to-do for this: build a crucible to determine if [[Masterwork:Titanium]] can be extracted from titanite. 1 Jan 2016
**Done. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 22:17, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[DF2014:Giant firefly]]: Just found one in my latest save of 0.42.05, realized a page didn't exist. [[User:ArcaneMusic|ArcaneMusic]] ([[User talk:ArcaneMusic|talk]]) 22:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
** I just added a list of all the new creatures (probably contains some errors) on the talk pages of the [[graphic set]] and [[creature]] pages. Most of those probably need to be added as new pages too. In addition the page [[Back_bear_man]] should be deleted (mistyped b-L-ack bear man). In the future, it would be nice to have a script that simply goes through the creature raws and suggests new pages to be created for missing creature entries. [[User:CLA|CLA]] ([[User talk:CLA|talk]]) 15:12, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
***The admins have bots that can create the pages automatically. Part of the hold-up is that the wiki's raws haven't been updated, so new creature pages aren't able to "autofill" with the appropriate details from the raws (and we prefer not to enter all that information manually).--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 20:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[Masterwork:Drake]] The article is blank. Since these are a domestic animal that players can grab on embark, there should be some information about them for people new to the mod. [[User:Apollo Densin|Apollo Densin]] ([[User talk:Apollo Densin|talk]]) 02:00, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
** Done.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 23:50, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

*Version 0.47.1 added [[DF2014:Fort]], [[DF2014:Constructed creatures]], and perhaps [[DF2014:Intelligent undead]]. It also allows to [[DF2014:Mount]] creatures. A lot of other new features deserve their pages. Perhaps we should create a DF2020 version of pages.

I would like a page describing the differences between the 2014 (v0.47) and Steam (v0.50) versions. As a new player, a page outlining these differences would be massively helpful and allow me to read existing documentation and forums more easily, as well as make updates to the v0.50 pages.

Hello, would you be able to create a Talk page with the following question for me?:

"Do children born during fortress mode (or worldgen if you can find out) adopt the dieties of their friends/parents, or are they assigned a random diety? Is this with immediate effect from birth?

Thanks.

Josh"

Thank you! :)

Hello, I'd like to open another talk/discussion page for "Size" (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Size) with the following question:

Are there any combat benefits to SMALL dwarves?

On one of the pages for an older version of DF it notes that large creatures like elephants have a hard time landing a hit on small creatures like cavies. Would this alleged bonus to-dodge and/or penalty to-hit modifier translate in any meaningul way for smaller dwarves?
:[[DF2012 talk:Size|Done]]. --[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 19:05, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to open a talk page for [[DF2012_Talk:Relationships]] with the following note (two paragraphs):

The royalty section is inaccurate. I have a second-generation native-born dwarf in one of my fortresses who has a plentitude of aunts and uncles and listed maternal and paternal grandparents. I'm not sure why having those relationships is only noticed for royalty, but I think it's partially because shorter worlds mean smaller lineages and partially because most forts don't last long enough to see native-born children grow up, get married, and have children of their own. I really don't think there's any reason why extended family would be limited to royalty in any case.

Anyway, I added parents to the Types section, and also grandparents because I hadn't noticed the Royalty section. I'd add Aunts/Uncles but I'm not sure where they fall in on the list, and baby Sarvesh doesn't have any cousins yet.

Thank you! --[[User:Lielac|Lielac]] ([[User talk:Lielac|talk]]) 02:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
:Done. —[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|talk]]) 03:37, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I feel that [[DF2012:World_generation]] should cover what goes into history simulation, as it is obviously different to simulation in fortress mode.
However, this is not a matter I am educated on. I would put this request on the page, but I cannot yet create a talk page.

Edits made by 76.116.204.8 were made by me while I was away from school/university on summer/winter vacation at my dad's. I wanted to make a note on [[User talk:76.116.204.8]] claiming attribution for the edits. Additionally, I would like to request the creation of [[Talk:Gem]] so that we can discuss a current bug where the new "cut gem" job never creates a large gem or gem craft (as of 0.50.03). – [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:ArmokGoB|ArmokGoB]]

* Could there please be a smaller version of the "D for Dwarf" template, maybe one that leaves the text ''joke'' near a sentence, so that we don't have a big-ass banner for little one-off jokes in articles and reserve the "D for Dwarf" template for entire sections or articles?

* Can someone include a discussion about how dwarfs choose which jobs/tasks to do if they have enabled multiple labors and there are jobs in multiple labors on the DF2012:Labor page? Is it based on which job is created first? Their skills / traits / attributes? Which labor they are highest ranked or their titled profession? This seems to be an issue in the LPs I've been watching early on when there are only the 7 starting dwarves, sometimes extending into the first migration. I know a solution is to deactivate other labors, or use burrows, but I'm still curious how it works. Thank you, [[Special:Contributions/108.243.77.185|108.243.77.185]] 03:08, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

* I'd like to add an image of the 'animated bedroom design' section I added to bedroom design. I uploaded a short screen cast here [https://imgur.com/XIGR8Ce], but to get it to below the 2 MB limit I also converted it to a GIF here [https://imgur.com/x86h2u4].

Hello, I'd like to open another talk/discussion page for "Size" (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Size) with the following question:

Are there any combat benefits to SMALL dwarves?

On one of the pages for an older version of DF it notes that large creatures like elephants have a hard time landing a hit on small creatures like cavies. Would this alleged bonus to-dodge and/or penalty to-hit modifier translate in any meaningul way for smaller dwarves?

I'd like to open a talk page for [[DF2012_Talk:Relationships]] with the following note (two paragraphs):

The royalty section is inaccurate. I have a second-generation native-born dwarf in one of my fortresses who has a plentitude of aunts and uncles and listed maternal and paternal grandparents. I'm not sure why having those relationships is only noticed for royalty, but I think it's partially because shorter worlds mean smaller lineages and partially because most forts don't last long enough to see native-born children grow up, get married, and have children of their own. I really don't think there's any reason why extended family would be limited to royalty in any case.

Anyway, I added parents to the Types section, and also grandparents because I hadn't noticed the Royalty section. I'd add Aunts/Uncles but I'm not sure where they fall in on the list, and baby Sarvesh doesn't have any cousins yet.

}}{{av}}

The '''Clothier's shop''' is a [[workshop]] used by a [[Clothier]] to make [[clothes]], [[rope]]s and [[bag]]s. It can use [[cloth]] made from plant fibers, wool cloth made from [[yarn]] or [[silk]] cloth made from collected spider webs as raw materials. It can also be used to [[decoration|sew images]] onto [[finished goods]]. Cloth and silk must be either bought from [[trading|caravans]] or [[weaver|woven]] at a [[loom]].

The clothier's shop can be built with any building material, and must be built by a [[dwarf]] with the Clothesmaking [[labor]] enabled.

To create differently sized clothing, request it to be made from the workshop as usual by adding a new task directly or through a work order. If you added a task, click on the magnifying glass icon of the task and select 'Specify size'. Then you can specify the particular race you want to make the clothing item for. Similarly for work orders you click the magnifying glass icon of the work order to select the size.

To specify the cloth sub-type of the clothing item, click the magnifying glass icon and select 'Specify cloth'.

Note that although cloth/silk backpacks and quivers exist, they cannot be made by the player.

Curiously, the name of this workshop will change if your fortress's primary race provides a custom value for the {{token|PROFESSION_NAME|c|CLOTHIER}} token.

==Quirks==
Although fabric made from animal products is called "wool cloth," to use wool cloth at the clothier, you must select "make clothes from yarn" in the job menu. This will still use wool cloth, not yarn thread.

The Clothier will ignore cloth in bins. Make a stockpile of cloth that doesn't permit bins!

Trap component

2025-07-01T23:48:08Z

Chish: link did not link properly

{{Quality|Exceptional}}
{{av}}
[[File:trap_comp_preview.png|right]]Any [[weapon]] in [[fortress mode]] can be placed into a [[Trap#Weapon trap|weapon trap]]. However, there are five '''trap components''', or '''trap weapons''', that are ''specifically'' for weapon traps (and two also have additional uses). As with any weapon, a total of up to 10 of these can be put in a single weapon trap, creating a true "Indiana Jones" type of threat to beasts of any size, and potentially simply making a fine mince (or paste, depending on the weapons) of lesser creatures. However, trap components lack weapons' enhanced durability and can break after hitting only about 4 invaders (whereas a copper pick could hit thousands), except upright spikes (which takes less than other components to zero wear, depending on material).

In the order they appear on the various menus, they are the '''enormous corkscrew''', the '''giant axe blade''', the '''large, serrated disc''', the '''menacing spike''', and the '''spiked ball'''.

All trap component weapons can be made out of [[metal]]s (by a [[weaponsmith]]) or [[glass]] (by a [[glassmaker]]), with appropriate damage. Three can also be made out of [[wood]] by a [[carpenter]] (as noted [[Trap_component#Data_ & comparison|below]]), which can be useful in getting some heavy weapons traps set up before you have a steady [[smelting]] operation going, or if you are short on metal. Each trap component takes one unit of the material that you are using (e.g. Each menacing iron spike will take one [[bar]] of [[iron]]). Note that although it is not possible to make giant axe blades or serrated disks out of wood, wooden ones can sometimes be bought from the embark screen. This is presumably a bug.

Trap weapons also provide the highest return of any weapon for [[melt]]ing, 120%–150%, compared to 90%–120% for conventional weapons, which can be [[exploit]]ed for generating metal and training [[weaponsmith]]s. Trap components are a separate sub-section of a [[forge]] menu (where metal [[mechanisms]] can also be found), but found within the menus for the various glass types in the [[glass furnace]], or in the main menu of the [[carpenter's workshop]].

== Trap weapons ==
=== Menacing spike ===
The '''menacing spike''' can be mounted in both traditional [[Trap#Weapon_trap|weapon traps]] and [[Trap#Upright_spear.2Fspike|upright spike traps]], which act quite differently. Its small contact size and high penetration depth makes it a decent choice against enemies with impale-able internal organs.

Menacing spikes can also be made from [[wood]].

=== Large, serrated disc ===
'''Large, serrated discs''' deal large amounts of damage, and have a tendency to sever their victims' limbs. While amusing, this can create several [[hauling]] tasks for [[dwarves]] as they have to move each severed body part to a [[butcher's shop]] or [[stockpile|refuse pile]]. Large serrated discs attack three times, giving them a very high damage potential.

=== Spiked ball ===
The '''spiked ball''' doesn't deal a blunt attack at all, but it does do three attacks with its spikes. Like the menacing spike, it has only a small contact area, but has a very low penetration depth compared to the menacing spike. They can also be made from [[wood]].

Low penetration depth edged attacks can still break bones with impact damage, just like blunt attacks do. In addition, if an edged weapon is unable to cut the material of the target's armor, its attack is converted to blunt type. Because the small contact area concentrates the force, spiked balls should be more effective against targets in superior armor than either serrated discs or giant axes.

=== Enormous corkscrew ===
'''Enormous corkscrews''' can be used as components in [[trap]]s as well as for [[screw pump]]s. As a result, the corkscrews from unneeded screw pumps can be used to make serviceable weapon traps.

The enormous corkscrew performs a deeply penetrating attack with a small contact area, much like the menacing spike. It is currently unknown which of these two trap components is the strongest overall.

Enormous corkscrews can also be made from [[wood]].

=== Giant axe blade ===
The '''giant axe blade''' is a very similar weapon to the large, serrated disc, but only strikes once, compared to the disc's three attacks. However, due to its larger size, its single attack is stronger than each of the large, serrated disc's. It is currently unknown which of these two trap components is the strongest overall.

However, if the variables behave like those of the wieldable weapons, size determines mass (along with material density) and mass determines impact (BLUNT) damage. An edged weapon, like the giant axe, only deals this type of damage when it is unable to penetrate armor, or if the target is large compared to its penetration depth.

This suggests that a steel serrated disc's multiple attacks will outweigh the giant axe blade's somewhat larger size in most cases. If only inferior materials are available, the giant axe '''might''' be better at hurting armored targets, but the disc's three attacks probably still outweigh this advantage.
