'''A quick note on terminology''': 
The term "'''stone'''" can refer to two different but related concepts, depending if you're talking about "stone" or "a stone". When referring to stone as general material, it encompasses all non-organic material that is not specifically [[soil]], [[metal]] or [[gem]]s, as in ''"The stone layer was mostly granite"'' or ''"The stone was dug out to make room for workshops"''. When referring to a stone, the round item left over from [[mining]], it refers to the specific object of raw material that is carried to a workshop of some type, or can be used as-is for [[construction]], and that round item can be either stone (in the first sense) or a [[gem]] or an [[ore]] of some [[metal]], as in ''"The stones left over were mostly granite with some gold"'' or ''"The stones dug out had to be removed to make room for the workshops"''. It's usually obvious from the context, but either 1) the non-ore/non-gem stuff in general, or 2) a single unit of stone/ore/gem that can be carried away - just to be clear.

[[File:stone_prev.png|200px|right]]An unmined '''rock''' or '''stone''' tile is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals. [[Mining]] a rock tile leaves behind a '''loose stone''' (or just "a stone") roughly 25% of the time. Other types of minable tiles include [[soil]], [[sand]], and [[clay]]; these tiles do not produce loose stones when mined.

Loose stones are divided into a few key categories:
* [[Ore]]: stones that produce [[metal|metal bars]] when [[Smelter|smelted]]
* Rough [[gem]]s: rough gems can be [[gem cutting|cut]], then used to [[encrust]] objects and create [[window]]s.
* Other stone: all other stones. Few of these have a use outside of items and structures ([[obsidian]] being a notable exception).

[[Economic stone]]s are types of stone that can be reserved for a special purpose. For [[ore]]s, this is smelting, and for [[flux|fluxes]], this is steel production. [[Bituminous coal]] and [[lignite]] can be reserved for making [[coke]].

Having created loose stone, most of the time you'll want to get rid of it, or at least move it someplace else. See [[stone management]] for advice.

If you are having the opposite problem, and find yourself running out of stone, try making [[block|stone blocks]].

== Main layer types ==
{{main|Stone layers}}

There are four types of stone [[stone layers|layer]]s (plus [[soil]], which is not stone). The type of layer is the primary indicator of what kind of [[ore]]s you are likely to find on the map, as well as a sign of [[volcano|volcanic]] activity.

The types are [[sedimentary layer]]s, [[igneous intrusive layer]]s, [[igneous extrusive layer]]s, and [[metamorphic layer]]s.

The primary types of rock only occur in their own layers. (e.g. you won't find [[limestone]] in a [[marble]] layer.)

== Stones forming entire layers ==
These types of stone occur as entire layers, containing some [[vein|veins and pockets]] of other minerals (see below).

== Other stone ==
Stones found on this table will occur as [[vein|pockets and veins]] inside their respective stone layers (see above). When your miners newly encounter one of them you will receive an announcement, even for the ones that have no use other than to build constructions of unusual colors. Note that the veins or clusters can spread into other layers, and may cause some layers to contain stones they usually wouldn't. A few of these stones, such as [[olivine]], have other, more interesting minerals appear inside them.

Non-layer stone formations occur in one of three shapes: large clusters, veins, and small clusters. ''(See [[Vein|Veins & Clusters]] for full info.)''

''The following table does not contain [[ore]]s and [[gem]]s.''

== DF geology and geology in real life ==

The geology and stones of ''Dwarf Fortress'' are based (to some extent) on real-world geology and mineralogy. To understand the terms used here, you may want to crack open a geology textbook (a high school one should suffice). If you don't happen to have one close by, the Wikipedia articles for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology geology], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralogy mineralogy], or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_layers terms in question] might help. Below is a very brief introduction tailored for DF gamers, with links to the relevant game-specific pages.

In geological terminology, a rock or stone is basically a composite of minerals. Minerals, the building blocks of rock, are hard inorganic materials with a definite chemical formula and a certain atomic structure. For example, the mineral quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) arranged in a pyramid structure. Quartz is a component mineral of rocks (stones) such as [[quartzite]] (almost entirely made of quartz) or [[granite]] (some 20~60% quartz, a bunch more of the mineral "feldspar", plus [[mica]] and some others). The distinction between minerals like [[mica]] (simple) and rocks like [[granite]] (composite) does not matter for ''Dwarf Fortress''; just like in everyday language, they're all just "stones". Besides minerals, some rocks may include organic material; such rocks include [[bituminous coal]] (made of dead bog things) or [[limestone]] (made of the skeletons of ocean animals).

The three minerals seen in [[granite]] are also among the most common:

* '''Feldspar''', meaning something like "field-stone", is actually a general name for an entire family of minerals, all of them based on aluminum and silicon. Their appearance varies, but they tends toward light greyish colors, and make up a lot of your typical light stone. Feldspar doesn't exist independently in the DF world; but, among the in-game stones, [[microcline]] and [[orthoclase]] are flavors of feldspar, and countless other DF stones would include feldspar in real life. A stone with a lot of feldspars and silicon is said to be '''felsic'''; granite and [[rhyolite]] are in-game examples.
* '''Quartz''', meaning "hard", easily makes big showy crystals; it's transparent if [[Rock crystal|pure]], but if the SiO₂ is combined with trace amounts of other elements (often metals like iron and manganese), it can get colored [[Rose quartz|pink]], purple ([[amethyst]]), yellow ([[citrine]]), and so on. If bubbly with air, quartz may become [[Milk quartz|milky]]; if irradiated, it may get [[Smoky quartz|smoky]].
* '''Micas''', like quartz, have silicon atoms crystalline structures. The difference is that they're organized in sheet-like, gleaming surfaces, held together by weaker bonds of other elements; this makes micas soft and flaky (the word means "grainy"). The color varies. The in-game stone [[mica]] is stated to be muscovite, which is a light variety (but the game color is dark gray, like coal; this may be a mistake). Other micas can be dark.

Other minerals that exist independently in DF include green [[olivine]] (yes, it's named after olives) and black [[hornblende]], which is similar to dark mica but forms needlelike crystals. Dark minerals like these often include magnesium and iron (Fe); stones rich in them are then termed '''mafic''' (in contrast with "felsic"). In-game mafic stones include [[basalt]] and [[gabbro]].

On the white side, [[calcite]] is a mineral based on calcium, the same stuff as bones. It forms crystals, and occurs in DF as an unremarkable white stone. Calcite is a main component of [[limestone]] and [[chalk]]—which in turn can become [[marble]]; it's often formed from the accumulated remains of ancient marine animals (for a memorable use of chalk stone layers in high fantasy, check out Terry Pratchett's novel ''The Wee Free Men'' and its sequels). The most well-known marine mineral is surely table salt, present in DF as [[rock salt]]. It's formed when saltwater evaporates; another evaporative mineral, or "evaporite", is [[gypsum]], which, in DF as in real life, can be used to make [[Gypsum plaster|plaster casts]]

Rocks can be classified by their creation processes, which makes them settle down in distinct [[stone layers]], and possibly in [[vein|veins and clusters]]. DF models this too, so that it's quite relevant information for players; see the links for details.

An [[ore]] is a rock with a metal content high enough for it to be a viable source of that metal. Most metals do not occur by themselves in nature, but readily bind with minerals to form stones; e.g. [[zinc]] binds with sulfur minerals to form the rock [[sphalerite]]. To extract the metal from it, [[Furnace operator|someone]] has to [[Smelter|smelt]] the stone. A few metals may be found in pure form, like [[native gold]] and [[native silver|silver]] (but in DF, they still require smelting to be shaped into useable [[bars]]).

</gallery>

A [[gem]] is a mineral (or rock, or rock-like material) with intrinsic economic value for a culture, often because they're beautiful, durable, and/or rare. This depends not just on what the mineral is made of, but also on the internal layout of its atomic structure, which can dramatically alter its appearance and properties; see the article on gems for more.

[[File:gem_cut.jpg|210px|right]]Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact]]s. Gem-encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in-game, but cannot be made in fortress mode. Stones, including the various types of clay, can also be cut into gems.

There are a total of 130 different kinds of gems, 127 excluding the three kinds of [[glass]]. Of these, 57 are ornamental, 58 semi-precious, 4 precious and 8 rare.

A large variety of cut gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan. You cannot import rough gems with the exception of raw [[glass]], which human and dwarven caravans can bring.

Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[Useless_crap|craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 large gems). Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf in the throes of a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a "perfect gem" - this is simply a special name for an artifact large gem.

If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.

[[Gizzard stone]]s are found as a by-product when butchering some animals, and can be used like cut gems. Only a few animal species give gizzard stones, but each member of such a species butchered will yield one, which can lead to a decent supply when you manage to set up an [[ostrich]] or [[elk bird]] farm.

A killed [[amethyst man]] will, logically, drop a rough amethyst, but amethyst men are fairly rare. Forgotten beasts made of gem will leave a corpse, in some cases weighing thousands of Urists, but the corpse cannot be cut into gems or used in any other way.

You can also direct your dwarves to cut stone, [[shell]], [[horn]] and [[teeth|ivory]] into a '''large gem''' which can be done at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]].

== Value ==
Gems have a base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier - see [[gem cutting]] and [[gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10, and can also have a [[quality]] modifier which increases value.

To give an example, a rough green zircon will be worth (3×20=) 60☼, a cut green zircon (5×20=) 100☼ and a masterwork large green zircon (10×20×12=) 2400☼.

Dwarves who have preferences for certain gems and colors will have a higher value perception of the items and walls encrusted with them.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

See [[Gem/Textlist|here]] for a text list of rough gems sorted alphabetically by variety.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Gem cuts ==

Finished gems have a particular cut, which doesn't affect the gem's value. A gem can have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" or "tapered baguette" cut. Some gem cuts are also known as "cabochons," which have a basic "shape" cut typically as a rounded, polished stone. Gizzard stones do not have cuts.

List of cuts:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=15em|

* cushion
* emerald
* marquise
* octagon
* oval
* pear
* point
* radiant
* rectangular
* round
* single

* table
* tapered
* trillion
}}

== Rare gems ==
[[Faint yellow diamond]]s only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which, itself, only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and [[sapphire]]s and [[ruby|rubies]] only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. [[Star sapphire]]s and [[Star ruby|star rubies]] only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

Gems

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers. Note that cut rock crystals can't be used to make crystal glass objects.

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information.

== In real life ==

A gem is a [[Stone|mineral]] (or a mineral-like material) admired by a culture, often due to their beauty and durability (resistance to scratches), so that they have economic value in and of themselves.

Most gems are made of the same basic minerals found in common rocks; but their atoms are arranged into ordered patterns, called '''crystals''', with drastic consequences to their appearance and material properties. For example, the same mineral quartz that looks so unremarkable in [[quartzite]] may form the strikingly geometric, beautifully translucent [[Rock crystal|rock crystals]], if it has the space to grow up slowly – in a crack or cavity within [[granite|granite rock]], for example.

File:QuartzVug.jpg|Rock crystal growing inside a rock cavity. These are made of the same basic stuff as quartzite, only better arranged.
</gallery>

Each particular crystal has a stable angle between its faces, depending on the underlying atomic structure; quartz is hexagonal, while [[rock salt]] is cubic.

</gallery>

A more drastic (and famous) example is carbon. The organic content of sedimentary rocks like [[bituminous coal]] may be pressured and heated into honeycomb [[Layer|layers]], forming the [[metamorphic]] stone [[graphite]] (which we use in pencils, and dwarves use for long-lasting fires). That very same carbon may be shaped, with more pressure and less heat (when, for example, stricken by a meteorite), into the nested cubes known as [[Diamond|diamonds]].

</gallery>

Some non-mineral materials that have been sometimes considered "gems" include organic products like [[amber]], [[coral]], and [[pearl]]; and rocks (bundles of multiple minerals) like [[jet]], [[green jade|jade]] and [[lapis lazuli]]. Of these, pearl only exists in DF as a placeholder, coral and amber in the most rudimentary of forms; but not as gemstones. Jet counts as a [[stone|regular stone]] in DF, while jade (in various colors) and lapis lazuli are gemstones.

[[File:gem_cut.jpg|210px|right]]Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact]]s. Gem-encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in-game, but cannot be made in fortress mode. Stones, including the various types of clay, can also be cut into gems.

There are a total of 130 different kinds of gems, 127 excluding the three kinds of [[glass]]. Of these, 57 are ornamental, 58 semi-precious, 4 precious and 8 rare.

A large variety of cut gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan. You cannot import rough gems with the exception of raw [[glass]], which human and dwarven caravans can bring.

Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[Useless_crap|craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 large gems). Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf in the throes of a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a "perfect gem" - this is simply a special name for an artifact large gem.

If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.

[[Gizzard stone]]s are found as a by-product when butchering some animals, and can be used like cut gems. Only a few animal species give gizzard stones, but each member of such a species butchered will yield one, which can lead to a decent supply when you manage to set up an [[ostrich]] or [[elk bird]] farm.

A killed [[amethyst man]] will, logically, drop a rough amethyst, but amethyst men are fairly rare. Forgotten beasts made of gem will leave a corpse, in some cases weighing thousands of Urists, but the corpse cannot be cut into gems or used in any other way.

You can also direct your dwarves to cut stone, [[shell]], [[horn]] and [[teeth|ivory]] into a '''large gem''' which can be done at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]].

== Value ==
Gems have a base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier - see [[gem cutting]] and [[gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10, and can also have a [[quality]] modifier which increases value.

To give an example, a rough green zircon will be worth (3×20=) 60☼, a cut green zircon (5×20=) 100☼ and a masterwork large green zircon (10×20×12=) 2400☼.

Dwarves who have preferences for certain gems and colors will have a higher value perception of the items and walls encrusted with them.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

See [[Gem/Textlist|here]] for a text list of rough gems sorted alphabetically by variety.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Gem cuts ==

Finished gems have a particular cut, which doesn't affect the gem's value. A gem can have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" or "tapered baguette" cut. Some gem cuts are also known as "cabochons," which have a basic "shape" cut typically as a rounded, polished stone. Gizzard stones do not have cuts.

List of cuts:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=15em|
* baguette
* brilliant
* briolette
* cushion
* emerald
* marquise
* octagon
* oval
* pear
* point
* radiant
* rectangular
* round
* single
* square
* table
* tapered
* trillion
}}

== Rare gems ==
[[Faint yellow diamond]]s only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which, itself, only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and [[sapphire]]s and [[ruby|rubies]] only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. [[Star sapphire]]s and [[Star ruby|star rubies]] only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

Gems

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers. Note that cut rock crystals can't be used to make crystal glass objects.

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information.

== In real life ==

A gem is a [[Stone|mineral]] (or a mineral-like material) admired by a culture, often due to their beauty and durability (resistance to scratches), so that they have economic value in and of themselves.

Most gems are made of the same basic minerals found in common rocks; but their atoms are arranged into ordered patterns, called '''crystals''', with drastic consequences to their appearance and material properties. For example, the same mineral quartz that looks so unremarkable in [[quartzite]] may form the strikingly geometric, beautifully translucent [[Rock crystal|rock crystals]], if it has the space to grow up slowly – in a crack or cavity within [[granite|granite rock]], for example.

File:QuartzVug.jpg|Rock crystal growing inside a rock cavity. These are made of the same basic stuff as quartzite, only better arranged.

Each particular crystal has a stable angle between its faces, depending on the underlying atomic structure; quartz is hexagonal, while [[rock salt]] is cubic.

</gallery>

A more drastic (and famous) example is carbon. The organic content of sedimentary rocks like [[bituminous coal]] may be pressured and heated into honeycomb [[Layer|layers]], forming the [[metamorphic]] stone [[graphite]] (which we use in pencils, and dwarves use for long-lasting fires). That very same carbon may be shaped, with more pressure and less heat (when, for example, stricken by a meteorite), into the nested cubes known as [[Diamond|diamonds]].

</gallery>

Some non-mineral materials that have been sometimes considered "gems" include organic products like [[amber]], [[coral]], and [[pearl]]; and rocks (bundles of multiple minerals) like [[jet]], [[green jade|jade]] and [[lapis lazuli]]. Of these, pearl only exists in DF as a placeholder, coral and amber in the most rudimentary of forms; but not as gemstones. Jet counts as a [[stone|regular stone]] in DF, while jade (in various colors) and lapis lazuli are gemstones.

[[File:gem_cut.jpg|210px|right]]Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact]]s. Gem-encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in-game, but cannot be made in fortress mode. Stones, including the various types of clay, can also be cut into gems.

There are a total of 130 different kinds of gems, 127 excluding the three kinds of [[glass]]. Of these, 57 are ornamental, 58 semi-precious, 4 precious and 8 rare.

A large variety of cut gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan. You cannot import rough gems with the exception of raw [[glass]], which human and dwarven caravans can bring.

Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[Useless_crap|craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 large gems). Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf in the throes of a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a "perfect gem" - this is simply a special name for an artifact large gem.

If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.

[[Gizzard stone]]s are found as a by-product when butchering some animals, and can be used like cut gems. Only a few animal species give gizzard stones, but each member of such a species butchered will yield one, which can lead to a decent supply when you manage to set up an [[ostrich]] or [[elk bird]] farm.

A killed [[amethyst man]] will, logically, drop a rough amethyst, but amethyst men are fairly rare. Forgotten beasts made of gem will leave a corpse, in some cases weighing thousands of Urists, but the corpse cannot be cut into gems or used in any other way.

You can also direct your dwarves to cut stone, [[shell]], [[horn]] and [[teeth|ivory]] into a '''large gem''' which can be done at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]].

== Value ==
Gems have a base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier - see [[gem cutting]] and [[gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10, and can also have a [[quality]] modifier which increases value.

To give an example, a rough green zircon will be worth (3×20=) 60☼, a cut green zircon (5×20=) 100☼ and a masterwork large green zircon (10×20×12=) 2400☼.

Dwarves who have preferences for certain gems and colors will have a higher value perception of the items and walls encrusted with them.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

See [[Gem/Textlist|here]] for a text list of rough gems sorted alphabetically by variety.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Gem cuts ==

Finished gems have a particular cut, which doesn't affect the gem's value. A gem can have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" or "tapered baguette" cut. Some gem cuts are also known as "cabochons," which have a basic "shape" cut typically as a rounded, polished stone. Gizzard stones do not have cuts.

List of cuts:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=15em|

* oval
* pear
* point

== Rare gems ==
[[Faint yellow diamond]]s only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which, itself, only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and [[sapphire]]s and [[ruby|rubies]] only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. [[Star sapphire]]s and [[Star ruby|star rubies]] only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

Gems

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]

|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers. Note that cut rock crystals can't be used to make crystal glass objects.

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information.

== In real life ==

A gem is a [[Stone|mineral]] (or a mineral-like material) admired by a culture, often due to their beauty and durability (resistance to scratches), so that they have economic value in and of themselves.

Most gems are made of the same basic minerals found in common rocks; but their atoms are arranged into ordered patterns, called '''crystals''', with drastic consequences to their appearance and material properties. For example, the same mineral quartz that looks so unremarkable in [[quartzite]] may form the strikingly geometric, beautifully translucent [[Rock crystal|rock crystals]], if it has the space to grow up slowly – in a crack or cavity within [[granite|granite rock]], for example.

Each particular crystal has a stable angle between its faces, depending on the underlying atomic structure; quartz is hexagonal, while [[rock salt]] is cubic.

A more drastic (and famous) example is carbon. The organic content of sedimentary rocks like [[bituminous coal]] may be pressured and heated into honeycomb [[Layer|layers]], forming the [[metamorphic]] stone [[graphite]] (which we use in pencils, and dwarves use for long-lasting fires). That very same carbon may be shaped, with more pressure and less heat (when, for example, stricken by a meteorite), into the nested cubes known as [[Diamond|diamonds]].

Some non-mineral materials that have been sometimes considered "gems" include organic products like [[amber]], [[coral]], and [[pearl]]; and rocks (bundles of multiple minerals) like [[jet]], [[green jade|jade]] and [[lapis lazuli]]. Of these, pearl only exists in DF as a placeholder, coral and amber in the most rudimentary of forms; but not as gemstones. Jet counts as a [[stone|regular stone]] in DF, while jade (in various colors) and lapis lazuli are gemstones.

[[File:gem_cut.jpg|210px|right]]Small clusters of rough '''gems''' can be found almost anywhere while [[mining]]. After they have been mined by a [[miner]] and cut by a [[gem cutter]], a [[gem setter]] can use them to [[encrust]] [[furniture]], [[crafts]], and [[ammunition]]. In addition, raw [[rock crystal]]s are required to make crystal glass goods. '''Cut gems''' can also be used to create [[window]]s and are often required as a source material for [[legendary artifact]]s. Gem-encrusted [[weapon]]s and [[armor]] can be found in-game, but cannot be made in fortress mode. Stones, including the various types of clay, can also be cut into gems.

There are a total of 130 different kinds of gems, 127 excluding the three kinds of [[glass]]. Of these, 57 are ornamental, 58 semi-precious, 4 precious and 8 rare.

A large variety of cut gems can be brought by and requested from the dwarven caravan. You cannot import rough gems with the exception of raw [[glass]], which human and dwarven caravans can bring.

Exactly 5% of all rough gems will be cut into a single [[Useless_crap|craft]] or '''large gem''' (with 1 craft for every 8 large gems), and the same occurs with raw glass (but with different ratios - 33% of all jobs, producing 11 crafts for every 16 large gems). Note that these will ''replace'' a cut gem and cannot be used to encrust goods. The value of such crafts can easily reach hundreds, even several thousand in the case of valuable gems and good craftsdwarfship. A dwarf in the throes of a [[strange mood]] can take a single gem and cut it into a [[legendary artifact]] known as a "perfect gem" - this is simply a special name for an artifact large gem.

If you have any bags of sand, you can also manufacture [[Glass|raw glass]], which is the same as a lower-value, uncut gem.

[[Gizzard stone]]s are found as a by-product when butchering some animals, and can be used like cut gems. Only a few animal species give gizzard stones, but each member of such a species butchered will yield one, which can lead to a decent supply when you manage to set up an [[ostrich]] or [[elk bird]] farm.

A killed [[amethyst man]] will, logically, drop a rough amethyst, but amethyst men are fairly rare. Forgotten beasts made of gem will leave a corpse, in some cases weighing thousands of Urists, but the corpse cannot be cut into gems or used in any other way.

You can also direct your dwarves to cut stone, [[shell]], [[horn]] and [[teeth|ivory]] into a '''large gem''' which can be done at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]].

== Value ==
Gems have a base [[value]] of 3 in rough form, which is multiplied by the appropriate value modifier from the table below. They gain value after they are cut in a [[jeweler's workshop]]. Cut gems have a base value of 5. Items can be decorated (encrusted) with cut gems; all such decorations have a value of 10 times the gem type's value multiplier - see [[gem cutting]] and [[gem setting]]. Large gems have a base value of 10, and can also have a [[quality]] modifier which increases value.

To give an example, a rough green zircon will be worth (3×20=) 60☼, a cut green zircon (5×20=) 100☼ and a masterwork large green zircon (10×20×12=) 2400☼.

== Varieties ==
Gems come in many varieties, with their own color and value multipliers:

See [[Gem/Textlist|here]] for a text list of rough gems sorted alphabetically by variety.

Unlike other gems, diamonds can [[Fire|ignite]] if they come into contact with [[magma]].

== Gem cuts ==

Finished gems have a particular cut, which doesn't affect the gem's value. A gem can have multiple cuts, such as a "square brilliant" or "tapered baguette" cut. Some gem cuts are also known as "cabochons," which have a basic "shape" cut typically as a rounded, polished stone. Gizzard stones do not have cuts.

List of cuts:
{{Columns-list|colwidth=15em|
* baguette
* brilliant
* briolette
* cushion
* emerald
* marquise
* octagon
* oval
* pear
* point
* radiant
* rectangular
* round
* single
* square
* table
* tapered
* trillion
}}

== Rare gems ==
[[Faint yellow diamond]]s only appear in [[kimberlite]] (which, itself, only appears in [[gabbro]] layers) and [[sapphire]]s and [[ruby|rubies]] only appear in [[bauxite]] (which occurs in any sedimentary layers). Colored diamonds only occur in pre-existing clusters of faint yellow diamonds. [[Star sapphire]]s and [[Star ruby|star rubies]] only occur within clusters of their peers.

== [[Glass]] ==
Raw glass is treated as an uncut gem. There are three subtypes of raw glass (and, once cut, of cut glass gems):

Gems

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Gem name
! Value
! Color
! Requires
|-
|green glass||2×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|2:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]]
|-
|clear glass||5×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|3:0}}||[[bag]] full of [[sand]] + [[pearlash]]
|-
|crystal glass||10×||{{Raw Tile|☼♦|7:1}}||rough [[rock crystal]] + [[pearlash]]
|}

Making raw glass requires a dwarf with the [[glassmaking]] [[labor]] designated, and, just like working [[metal]], it also requires [[fuel]] (either [[coke]] or [[charcoal]]) at a normal glass furnace, or [[magma]] at a magma [[glass furnace]]. Like all gems, raw glass has no [[quality]] modifiers. Note that cut rock crystals can't be used to make crystal glass objects.

Raw gems are only one of the many things your [[glassmaker]]s can make from glass. See [[glass]] and [[glass industry]] for more information.

== In real life ==

A gem is a [[Stone|mineral]] (or a mineral-like material) admired by a culture, often due to their beauty and durability (resistance to scratches), so that they have economic value in and of themselves.

Most gems are made of the same basic minerals found in common rocks; but their atoms are arranged into ordered patterns, called '''crystals''', with drastic consequences to their appearance and material properties. For example, the same mineral quartz that looks so unremarkable in [[quartzite]] may form the strikingly geometric, beautifully translucent [[Rock crystal|rock crystals]], if it has the space to grow up slowly – in a crack or cavity within [[granite|granite rock]], for example.

File:QuartzVug.jpg|Rock crystal growing inside a rock cavity. These are made of the same basic stuff as quartzite, only better arranged.
</gallery>

Each particular crystal has a stable angle between its faces, depending on the underlying atomic structure; quartz is hexagonal, while [[rock salt]] is cubic.

File:Salt crystals, Kuyalnik.JPG|Cubic [[rock salt]] crystals (click to embiggen).
</gallery>

A more drastic (and famous) example is carbon. The organic content of sedimentary rocks like [[bituminous coal]] may be pressured and heated into honeycomb [[Layer|layers]], forming the [[metamorphic]] stone [[graphite]] (which we use in pencils, and dwarves use for long-lasting fires). That very same carbon may be shaped, with more pressure and less heat (when, for example, stricken by a meteorite), into the nested cubes known as [[Diamond|diamonds]].
<gallery>

File:Diamond cubic animation.gif|Complex cubic internal structure of diamonds.
File:Brillanten.jpg|[[Gem cutting|Round brilliant cut]] diamonds.
</gallery>

Some non-mineral materials that have been sometimes considered "gems" include organic products like [[amber]], [[coral]], and [[pearl]]; and rocks (bundles of multiple minerals) like [[jet]], [[green jade|jade]] and [[lapis lazuli]]. Of these, pearl only exists in DF as a placeholder, coral and amber in the most rudimentary of forms; but not as gemstones. Jet counts as a [[stone|regular stone]] in DF, while jade (in various colors) and lapis lazuli are gemstones.

A '''gem cutter''' is the profession of a dwarf whose highest skill is in gem cutting. Performed at a [[Jeweler%27s_workshop|Jeweler's workshop]], gem cutting is the basis of the [[gem industry]], turning mildly valuable [[gem]] clusters you find as you [[mining|mine]] away rock into valuable [[decoration]]s for [[furniture]] and [[Finished goods|trade good]]s. It is the counterpart to [[gem setting]]; together, the two belong to the category profession of the [[Jeweler]], and indeed if a dwarf has a relatively balanced skill level in both, they will be known as a Jeweler. (More often than not, migrants who are skilled in gem cutting will also be similarly skilled in gem setting.)

Large amounts of mining are bound to produce dozens of rough gems, so gem cutting is a method of developing [[wealth]] quickly, [[Quickstart guide#Gemcutting and Trinkets|especially]] for new players. Cutting and encrusting with a gem more than triples the [[value]] of the rough gem, which is then multiplied by a [[quality]] modifier based on the gem setter's skill. A masterwork gem decoration is worth 40x the value of the original rough gem.

Cutting a [[gem]] can result in a cut gem, a large gem, or a gem [[craft]]. Cut gems are the most likely, and are used by a gem setter in creating gem [[window]]s and [[encrust]]ing other objects. Large gems and gem crafts are only created one-third of the time. Large gems are currently only useful for [[trade]]. The skill level of a gem cutter affects the cutting speed, and quality of large gems and gem crafts, but not the quantity of crafts produced[[DF2012 talk:Gem_cutter|1]].

=== Training ===
Gem cutters can cut not only gems proper, but regular [[stone]] and [[glass]] as well. Although cut stone is next to worthless, it still provides experience points, and can be used to keep a jeweler busy while you mine out a fresh batch of gems. It is also the only way to decorate with stone, and an easy way to create [[window|windows]] without [[fuel]] or [[sand]]. However, with a [[magma]] and a sand source, raw green glass can be mass produced, which is worth the exact same as the cheapest gems.

=== Automation / Advanced Control ===

In the vanilla game, gem cutting can be quite tedious to manage: one Workshop job is required per type of [[gem]], and can only be started when at least one rough gem of that type is in stock. A typical fortress will likely have dozens of available rough gem types, necessitating many separate jobs - spread across many separate [[Jeweler%27s_workshop|Jeweler's workshop]]s due to the 10-jobs-per-workshop limit. Even when low-value gems are excluded, this will still likely result in a regular stream of jobs suspending as stock of that gem is depleted, and much manual work re-enabling them: potentially to only cut a couple more gems before the job suspends again!

'''''DFHack: the content in the rest of this section requires the use of [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]]'''''

===Advanced control of gem cutting using DFHack===

The utility [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] can mostly resolve this problem, and its features can help facilitate an elegant, automated gem cutting-and-encrusting production line (see [[Gem_setter|Gem Setting]] for more gem-related examples.)

* DFHack provides the plugin '''Job material''', which can modify the materials used by a given Workshop job
** In the default DFHack config, the UI for Job Material is accessible by pressing {{k-|Alt|a}} when looking at a Workshop with a job selected.
** Job Material allows the user to edit the required components for a job.
** In the case of gem cutting, this means the specific, one-per-type-of-gem Cut Gem jobs can be turned into a generic job that will cut any and all (available) rough gems.

To proceed, first ensure you have [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] installed and are running with its default config file in place. [[Utility:Lazy_Newb_Pack|PyLNP]] users can simply set DFHack to Yes on the DFHack tab, then relaunch the game (other launchers likely have a similar easy DFHack option.)

====Using DFHack to create a single job that will cut any gem:====
# At a Jeweller, create a Cut Gem job for any rough gem you have in stock.
# With the job selected, press {{k-|Alt|a}}.
# You will see the screen shown to the right (the gem type will likely differ of course): [[File:DFHack-JobMaterialUI-GemCut-Orig.png|thumb|right|Step 3: Job before editing]]
# This screen is showing us the Input Items for the job. For a Cut Gem job, there is only one input material - the rough gem.
#* Input items have three parameters: input item, material, and flags. Using Job Material, we are able to edit the first two of these parameters.
# Press {{K|i}} changes the input item, showing the valid options for this job. In the case of Cut Gem, ''rough gem'' is the only valid choice, so there is nothing to change here.
# Press {{K|m}} to change the material, again showing all valid options. Here, we will see many options, in a categorised list. We could use this to change this Encrust job to use a different cut gem, but we can also do that through the normal UI. Instead we want to use the first option: ''any material''.
# Once done, the UI will look as shown on the right. [[File:DFHack-JobMaterialUI-GemCut-Edited.png|thumb|right|Step 7: Job edited]]
# Now press {{K|Escape}} to finish the edit. On the Workshop menu, you will see the job is now called '''''Cut unknown material'''''.
# Set the job to Repeating and your Gem Cutter(s) will now happily cut any and all rough gem he/she can get their hands on, and the job will never Suspend unless you run out of ''all'' rough gems. One job to cut them all.
#* Rest assured that this job will only cut rough gems: not stone, glass, or anything else cuttable by a Gem Cutter. This was ensured by editing a rough gem job, ensuring ''any material'' applies only to rough gems.
# For the final touch, provide a nearby Gem Stockpile with rules set to only allow Rough Gems that you care about: e.g. high value ones. Now set this stockpile to Give to your Jeweller's Workshop(s). This can be used to ensure that the generic Cut Any Gem job we just created won't waste time cutting [[Lapis Lazuli]] and other cheap stuff.
#* Remember that when a Stockpile Gives to a Workshop, that Workshop must then be able to get ''all'' its items from its stockpile links. That's no problem for the Cut Gem job, but it will become an issue if you also add Encrust With Gems jobs at this same jeweler. For more information, see [[Stockpile]], [[Stockpile design]] and [[Gem setter]].
# You can of course mix and match the standard specific jobs with the general one: for example if you acquire some very high-value [[Black_diamond|Black Diamonds]] or [[Star_ruby|Star Rubies]] you can add specific job(s) for those alongside your Any Gem job and your gem cutter will alternate between the specific and general jobs.
#* You could control the distribution of your jeweller's time by adding multiple specific jobs to go along with one single generic job: for example if there are seven specific jobs and one All, the Any job will run 12.5% (one-eighth) of the time. That way, the highest-value gems are cut the majority of the time (stock permitting) but there's still a catch-all All Gems job to ensure your jeweller is always cutting ''something''.

{{D for Dwarf}}

How one cuts gems without a chisel or any other tool is a source of much study. The predominant theory is that dwarven teeth, sharpened and conditioned by years of eating the tough flesh of [[plump helmet|plump helmets]], function as a crude cutting tool hard enough to cut diamonds. This is followed by polishing the gem using the tough fibers of their beards, just as it's used to smooth surfaces.

A masterwork gem decoration is worth 40x the value of the original rough gem.

Cutting a [[gem]] can result in a cut gem, a large gem, or a gem [[craft]]. Cut gems are the most likely, and are used by a gem setter in creating gem [[window]]s and [[encrust]]ing other objects. Large gems and gem crafts are only created occasionally, and are currently only useful for [[trade]].

Gem cutters can cut not only gems proper, but regular [[stone]] and [[glass]] as well. Although cut stone is next to worthless, it still provides experience points, and can be used to keep a jeweler busy while you mine out a fresh batch of gems. It is also the only way to decorate with stone, and an easy way to create [[window|windows]] without [[fuel]] or [[sand]]. However, with a [[magma]] and a sand source, raw green glass can be mass produced, which is worth the exact same as the cheapest gems. The 'Cut raw glass into gems' job will produce cut glass gems as well as all types of crafts with a 33% chance.

=== Automation / Advanced Control ===

In the vanilla game, gem cutting can be quite tedious to manage: one Workshop job is required per type of [[gem]], and can only be started when at least one rough gem of that type is in stock. A typical fortress will likely have dozens of available rough gem types, necessitating many separate jobs - spread across many separate [[Jeweler%27s_workshop|Jeweler's workshop]]s due to the 10-jobs-per-workshop limit. Even when low-value gems are excluded, this will still likely result in a regular stream of jobs suspending as stock of that gem is depleted, and much manual work re-enabling them: potentially to only cut a couple more gems before the job suspends again!

# Now press {{K|Escape}} to finish the edit. On the Workshop menu, you will see the job is now called '''''Cut unknown material'''''.
# Set the job to Repeating and your Gem Cutter(s) will now happily cut any and all rough gem he/she can get their hands on, and the job will never Suspend unless you run out of ''all'' rough gems. One job to cut them all.
#* Rest assured that this job will only cut rough gems: not stone, glass, or anything else cuttable by a Gem Cutter. This was ensured by editing a rough gem job, ensuring ''any material'' applies only to rough gems.
# For the final touch, provide a nearby Gem Stockpile with rules set to only allow Rough Gems that you care about: e.g. high value ones. Now set this stockpile to Give to your Jeweller's Workshop(s). This can be used to ensure that the generic Cut Any Gem job we just created won't waste time cutting [[Lapis Lazuli]] and other cheap stuff.
#* Remember that when a Stockpile Gives to a Workshop, that Workshop must then be able to get ''all'' its items from its stockpile links. That's no problem for the Cut Gem job, but it will become an issue if you also add Encrust With Gems jobs at this same jeweler. For more information, see [[Stockpile]], [[Stockpile design]] and [[Gem setter]].
# You can of course mix and match the standard specific jobs with the general one: for example if you acquire some very high-value [[Black_diamond|Black Diamonds]] or [[Star_ruby|Star Rubies]] you can add specific job(s) for those alongside your Any Gem job and your gem cutter will alternate between the specific and general jobs.
#* You could control the distribution of your jeweller's time by adding multiple specific jobs to go along with one single generic job: for example if there are seven specific jobs and one All, the Any job will run 12.5% (one-eighth) of the time. That way, the highest-value gems are cut the majority of the time (stock permitting) but there's still a catch-all All Gems job to ensure your jeweller is always cutting ''something''.

How one cuts gems without a chisel or any other tool is a source of much study. The predominant theory is that dwarven teeth, sharpened and conditioned by years of eating the tough flesh of [[plump helmet|plump helmets]], function as a crude cutting tool hard enough to cut diamonds. This is followed by polishing the gem using the tough fibers of their beards, just as it's used to smooth surfaces.

Cave-in

[[File:Cave-in (indust).jpg|thumb|250px|right|Cave-in during the Industrial Age. ''Drawn by Albert Sidney Bolles'']]A '''cave-in''' is when walls, floors, and other terrain plummet downwards to lower [[Z-axis|Z-levels]] under the influence of [[gravity]]. A cave-in will occur if constructions or ground tiles are detached from all support ([[bridge]]s and [[hatch]]es do not provide support). Since it is only a placeholder, the system is highly unrealistic—you can hold up a giant megafortress by a slender pillar of soap. [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] has stated he intends to implement more realistic cave-ins in future versions.

Cave-ins can be disabled in the [[d_init.txt]] file by changing [CAVEINS:YES] to [CAVEINS:NO].

== How cave-ins work ==

Any ''disconnected'' [[construction]] or section of [[rock]] or [[soil]] will cave in. The game checks for connections along the X, Y, and Z axes (that's left/right, up/down, and above/below). Any construction, even [[stairs]] (natural or constructed), and [[support]]s (naturally) provide support/connections. [[Tree]] trunks provide support on all axes. [[Stairs|Up stairs]] will provide support for the z-level above even if there is no downstairs above, acting as an invisible floor. '''Diagonal connections and [[bridge]]s do not provide support.''' Ramps will not provide support to the tile above them, but will act as a connection for the adjacent tiles on the same level.

Note that supports and fortifications, but '''not''' [[statue]]s, create an invisible floor on the level above them. No dwarf can enter the invisible floor, but it will hold an area attached to the floor tiles in four directions alongside it or the constructed/natural wall above it.

== Results of a cave-in ==

===Falling terrain===
* Any unsupported terrain crashes down through multiple [[floor]]s and [[ramp]]s, and stops only upon reaching a wall, up or up/down stair, a fortification, a multi-tile tree, or a support.
* Falling tiles do not stay connected in one mass; each falling column will fall as far as it can as described above.
* Falling natural [[floor]]s, [[stair]]s and [[ramp]]s will be destroyed, leaving behind a natural floor of the highest such terrain; natural stone walls pile up; and constructions deconstruct, leaving behind their building materials.
* [[Tree]]s, [[shrub]]s and saplings that fall are obliterated. Falling [[grass]] of all types (including [[cave moss]] and [[floor fungus]]) gets turned into undifferentiated green "Grass".
* Anything falling into a fluid sinks to the bottom. Therefore, it is not a good idea to punch a skylight into your meeting area if you forgot that e.g. your [[gem]] pile was directly below and you had a [[magma]] tube three Z levels afterwards... you get the idea.
* Falling soil will change into the soil type at the layer it falls to, or the lowest type on the map if it falls into the stone layers.
* Aquifer tiles will continue producing water, and other tile properties will remain the same in the fallen terrain.

=== Below the cave-in===
* Any [[creature]] caught directly underneath (on the same tile underneath) a cave-in is killed, the only exception being [[Ghost]]s. To clarify, it will kill all non-ghost creatures between the tile below the initial tile caving in to its final resting point.
* Most [[plant]]s under a cave-in are obliterated, but not multi-tile [[tree]]s.
* Any item caught under falling natural walls is destroyed completely. Natural floors and constructed walls and floors have a chance of destroying items.{{verify}}
* All [[building]]s and most [[construction]]s under the falling area are destroyed, as are natural ramps and unsupported floors. Only walls, supports, up and up/down stairs, and fortifications (both mined and constructed) remain intact.
* Supported natural terrain will remain intact during the cave-in (terrain unsupported from below will collapse).
* Any fluid displaced by falling natural walls is not destroyed, but transported to directly on top of the fallen walls. This principle can be used to construct [[magma piston]]s.
* Any mined minerals or stone in the area directly under the cave-in will be forced out from under the cave-in (or even up a few z-levels too, if the cave-in falls a long distance).
* Dropping rock layers on top of a cavern-soil floor will remove the soil; [[irrigation]] will be required to resume [[tree farm]]ing.

=== Above the cave-in===
* Buildings above the cave-in will deconstruct if they are no longer supported.
* Anything standing on the area that caves in falls and may get away with being stunned. The fall victim has a chance of being unable to walk away, somewhat proportional to the distance fallen but not set in stone. <s>No</s> Pun intended.
=== Other effects===
* A large amount of dust is generated. Any creature caught by the dust from the collapse is knocked [[unconscious]] and can be thrown a few tiles even up z-levels, which may cause them to fall off, say, a narrow bridge fifty z-levels above the ground, or can mash them into a fine paste against the wall. Dwarves will receive an unhappy thought from choking on dust clouds (which won't matter if they're dead).
* [[Magma mist]] will be generated in all tiles of magma that were in the path of the cave-in.
* Any terrain that is rendered unsupported by the cave-in will cause a subsequent cave-in.

== Avoiding cave-ins ==

Do not make unconnected sections of rock.

Actually, you're quite unlikely to cause cave-ins unless you are actively trying to cause them. In which case, you'd be wondering how to avoid cave-ins that ''cause damage'' to your folks. That's simple: Add a [[support]] under the stone mass, and link it to a distant [[lever]]. When you're done, hide everyone, pull the lever and watch the fireworks. If you're feeling lazier, use [[statue]]s to keep dwarves off the wrong squares. Provided they move directly away from the cave-in area, the dust may not catch them - and they don't blunder off edges and die unless the dust catches them.

One of the more common accidental cave-ins results when you're taking out the floor in a checker-pattern (dwarves [[channel]]ing may sometimes tend to make this mistake) and the area below isn't supported, resulting in a situation like the diagram below:

Floor -1
▒▒▒▒▒▒
▒ ▒
▒ X +▒ <-- The X is a floor tile. It's not attached, so it will fall down.
▒ +>▒
▒ ▒
▒▒▒▒▒▒

Floor -2
▒▒▒▒▒▒
▒....▒
▒...▒▒ <-- Causing this area to receive a cave-in flow and knocking out any dwarves in its reach.
▒...<▒
▒....▒
▒▒▒▒▒▒

Another thing to watch out for is if you want to dig away a hill above ground, to make room for your fancy overground fort. You may dig away the hill on one level, and then have a huge platform of "floor" on the z-level above that falls on your [[miner]] if they get disconnected from the ground. Easy thing to miss the first time you do it. To avoid this, channel ''from the surface downwards'', which doesn't remove anything that isn't supported - though you might still mine out something that was supporting a floor you ''weren't'' mining, so be careful. Miners also don't check that there's nobody standing on the floor that will shortly cease to exist - meaning that several miners channelling floors in the same area are a danger to each other. So you should allow only one dwarf to mine out floors in an area at a time.

== Using cave-ins ==
Intentional cave-ins serve several purposes:
* '''Terraforming'''
*: The natural floor tiles will preserve their type after falling several z-levels. It's a good way of moving the sand and clay tiles deeper, closer to the magma furnaces. A controlled cave-in of upper soil layers will help make an 'underground' pasture field. Moving a whole layer of soil floor tiles along with the supporting soil layer will make it possible to create an underground orchard. Over time tree saplings specific to the surface biome will start growing on this caved-in soil. The supporting layer must remain unmined to allow the growth of roots.
* '''Defense'''

=== Caving-in the toplevel/terrain from inside ===

You can cause terrain above you to cave in without going outside by first mining up stairs below the "borderline" you want to channel, channel the tiles above them, and removing the stairs afterwards.
The tiles above the up stairs can be mined from below while standing on the stair, so you don't have to go outside. Ramps would also work for that alone, but the ramps would allow enemies to enter, whereas the up-stairs alone do not allow passage to above as there is no corresponding down-stair above them.

[[File:Cave-in (indust).jpg|thumb|250px|right|Cave-in during the Industrial Age. ''Drawn by Albert Sidney Bolles'']]A '''cave-in''' is when walls, floors, and other terrain plummet downwards to lower [[Z-axis|Z-levels]] under the influence of [[gravity]]. A cave-in will occur if constructions or ground tiles are detached from all support ([[bridge]]s and [[hatch]]es do not provide support). Since it is only a placeholder, the system is highly unrealistic—you can hold up a giant megafortress by a slender pillar of soap. [[Main:Toady One|Toady One]] has stated he intends to implement more realistic cave-ins in future versions.

Cave-ins can be disabled in the [[d_init.txt]] file by changing [CAVEINS:YES] to [CAVEINS:NO].

== How cave-ins work ==

Any ''disconnected'' [[construction]] or section of [[rock]] or [[soil]] will cave in. The game checks for connections along the X, Y, and Z axes (that's left/right, up/down, and above/below). Any construction, even [[stairs]] (natural or constructed), and [[support]]s (naturally) provide support/connections. [[Tree]] trunks provide support on all axes. [[Stairs|Up stairs]] will provide support for the z-level above even if there is no downstairs above, acting as an invisible floor. '''Diagonal connections and [[bridge]]s do not provide support.''' Ramps will not provide support to the tile above them, but will act as a connection for the adjacent tiles on the same level.

Note that supports and fortifications, but '''not''' [[statue]]s, create an invisible floor on the level above them. No dwarf can enter the invisible floor, but it will hold an area attached to the floor tiles in four directions alongside it or the constructed/natural wall above it.

== Results of a cave-in ==

===Falling terrain===
* Any unsupported terrain crashes down through multiple [[floor]]s and [[ramp]]s, and stops only upon reaching a wall, up or up/down stair, a fortification, a multi-tile tree, or a support.
* Falling tiles do not stay connected in one mass; each falling column will fall as far as it can as described above.
* Falling natural [[floor]]s, [[stair]]s and [[ramp]]s will be destroyed, leaving behind a natural floor of the highest such terrain; natural stone walls pile up; and constructions deconstruct, leaving behind their building materials.
* [[Tree]]s, [[shrub]]s and saplings that fall are obliterated. Falling [[grass]] of all types (including [[cave moss]] and [[floor fungus]]) gets turned into undifferentiated green "Grass".
* Anything falling into a fluid sinks to the bottom. Therefore, it is not a good idea to punch a skylight into your meeting area if you forgot that e.g. your [[gem]] pile was directly below and you had a [[magma]] tube three Z levels afterwards... you get the idea.
* Falling soil will change into the soil type at the layer it falls to, or the lowest type on the map if it falls into the stone layers.
* Aquifer tiles will continue producing water, and other tile properties will remain the same in the fallen terrain.

=== Below the cave-in===
* Any [[creature]] caught directly underneath (on the same tile underneath) a cave-in is killed, the only exception being [[Ghost]]s. To clarify, it will kill all non-ghost creatures between the tile below the initial tile caving in to its final resting point.
* Most [[plant]]s under a cave-in are obliterated, but not multi-tile [[tree]]s.
* Any item caught under falling natural walls is destroyed completely. Natural floors and constructed walls and floors have a chance of destroying items.{{verify}}
* All [[building]]s and most [[construction]]s under the falling area are destroyed, as are natural ramps and unsupported floors. Only walls, supports, up and up/down stairs, and fortifications (both mined and constructed) remain intact.
* Supported natural terrain will remain intact during the cave-in (terrain unsupported from below will collapse).
* Any fluid displaced by falling natural walls is not destroyed, but transported to directly on top of the fallen walls. This principle can be used to construct [[magma piston]]s.
* Any mined minerals or stone in the area directly under the cave-in will be forced out from under the cave-in (or even up a few z-levels too, if the cave-in falls a long distance).
* Dropping rock layers on top of a cavern-soil floor will remove the soil; [[irrigation]] will be required to resume [[tree farm]]ing.

=== Above the cave-in===
* Buildings above the cave-in will deconstruct if they are no longer supported.
* Anything standing on the area that caves in falls and may get away with being stunned. The fall victim has a chance of being unable to walk away, somewhat proportional to the distance fallen but not set in stone. <s>No</s> Pun intended.
=== Other effects===
* A large amount of dust is generated. Any creature caught by the dust from the collapse is knocked [[unconscious]] and can be thrown a few tiles even up z-levels, which may cause them to fall off, say, a narrow bridge fifty z-levels above the ground, or can mash them into a fine paste against the wall. Dwarves will receive an unhappy thought from choking on dust clouds (which won't matter if they're dead).
* [[Magma mist]] will be generated in all tiles of magma that were in the path of the cave-in.
* Any terrain that is rendered unsupported by the cave-in will cause a subsequent cave-in.

== Avoiding cave-ins ==

Do not make unconnected sections of rock.

Actually, you're quite unlikely to cause cave-ins unless you are actively trying to cause them. In which case, you'd be wondering how to avoid cave-ins that ''cause damage'' to your folks. That's simple: Add a [[support]] under the stone mass, and link it to a distant [[lever]]. When you're done, hide everyone, pull the lever and watch the fireworks. If you're feeling lazier, use [[statue]]s to keep dwarves off the wrong squares. Provided they move directly away from the cave-in area, the dust may not catch them - and they don't blunder off edges and die unless the dust catches them.

One of the more common accidental cave-ins results when you're taking out the floor in a checker-pattern (dwarves [[channel]]ing may sometimes tend to make this mistake) and the area below isn't supported, resulting in a situation like the diagram below:

Floor -1
▒▒▒▒▒▒
▒ ▒
▒ X +▒ <-- The X is a floor tile. It's not attached, so it will fall down.
▒ +>▒
▒ ▒
▒▒▒▒▒▒

Floor -2
▒▒▒▒▒▒
▒....▒
▒...▒▒ <-- Causing this area to receive a cave-in flow and knocking out any dwarves in its reach.
▒...<▒
▒....▒
▒▒▒▒▒▒

Another thing to watch out for is if you want to dig away a hill above ground, to make room for your fancy overground fort. You may dig away the hill on one level, and then have a huge platform of "floor" on the z-level above that falls on your [[miner]] if they get disconnected from the ground. Easy thing to miss the first time you do it. To avoid this, channel ''from the surface downwards'', which doesn't remove anything that isn't supported - though you might still mine out something that was supporting a floor you ''weren't'' mining, so be careful. Miners also don't check that there's nobody standing on the floor that will shortly cease to exist - meaning that several miners channelling floors in the same area are a danger to each other. So you should allow only one dwarf to mine out floors in an area at a time.

== Using cave-ins ==
Intentional cave-ins serve several purposes:
* '''Terraforming'''
*: The natural floor tiles will preserve their type after falling several z-levels. It's a good way of moving the sand and clay tiles deeper, closer to the magma furnaces. A controlled cave-in of upper soil layers will help make an 'underground' pasture field.
* '''Defense'''
*: Use cave-ins to block off water approaches to underground cavern levels. Combined with walls higher up, a cavern can (with great effort) be rendered completely safe from all intruding vermin.1
* '''Death'''
*: Since a cave-in kills all [[creatures]] instantly, it can provide a [[Unfortunate accident|convenient]] or amusing way to off a group of creatures. This is also one of the most effective ways of dealing with [[titan]]s and [[forgotten beast]]s with dangerous [[syndrome]]s, especially airborne contaminants (deadly dust/vapors) and poisonous blood. For certain randomly generated creatures, they may be so indestructible that a cave-in is the ''only'' way to kill them.

Enceos: /* Training attributes */

{{migrated article}}
{{Quality|Unrated}}
{{av}}

[[File:stats_icon.png|140px|right]]A creature has numerous '''attributes''' which affect its performance at various tasks, split into physical factors associated with the body, and mental factors associated with the [[soul]].

Body Attributes can be viewed in the creature's Health -> Description screen. Soul Attributes can be viewed in the creature's Personality -> Traits screen. Positive attributes are shown in green, negative attributes are shown in red, and average attributes are omitted. Said attributes may be listed as follows (may have to be highlighted to be seen): 
{{DFtext|He is slow to tire and agile, |2:0}}{{DFtext|but he is quite susceptible to disease.|4:0}}

Attributes are associated with skills, so that shield use will raise endurance as an attribute, but not attributes like memory. Different attributes raised by one skill may not be raised by the same amount. Attribute and skill gain and rust rates are moddable in the raws as a [[creature token]].

Attributes can be viewed for individual dwarves by selecting ({{k|v}}iew dwarves, {{k|z}}, {{k|enter}}), or by going to the ({{k|u}}nits menu, {{k|v}}iew, then {{k|enter}}).

== Descriptions ==
In-game attribute descriptions are calculated based on the difference from the [[creature|species]] average. [[Human]]s' median attribute values are always 1000. Thus, if the median [[dwarf]] has higher than 1000 for an attribute, that means the median dwarf is better than the median human for that attribute (however, individual humans may be better than individual dwarves due to intraspecies variation). Likewise, if the median dwarf has below 1000 for an attribute, then the median human bests the median dwarf in that contest.

The tiers at which descriptions change are 250, 500, 750, and 1000 above or below the species median. Interestingly, if a species has an attribute with a median below 1000, such as dwarves' agility, the lowest tier will never be displayed.

These descriptions are not used in [[adventurer mode]].

== Body attributes ==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different, as they are calculated based on the species average. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

=== Strength ===
Alters the damage done in melee (increases velocity of weapon swings), increases muscle mass (a thicker muscle layer also resists damage more), and increases how much a creature can carry. Higher strength also increases the speed of fast [[gait]]s in most creatures, including running, soaring, galloping, and fast swimming, however, proportionate gains in muscle mass can eventually reduce speed enough to overtake the gains (more so with larger creatures than dwarves). The dwarven median of 1250 is higher than average.

{| class=wikitable style="width:400px;"
! Value

|-
| 2250–5000 || unbelievably strong

|-
| 501–750 || very weak
|-
| 251–500 || unquestionably weak
|-
| 0–250 || unfathomably weak
|}

===Agility===
This attribute affects the speed of a creature's fast-moving [[gait]]s in the same way as strength — a creature with maximum agility and strength can run faster than a creature with minimum agility and strength. The median dwarf agility of 900 is slightly below average.

Because dwarves in general have below-average agility, and because the descriptions are based on the difference from the racial average, no dwarves will ever display as "abysmally clumsy".

===Memory===
The dwarven median memory of 1250 is slightly above the human average.

Or, at least, that was the case until recently. Elves, Humans, and goblins now have 5000-5000-5000-5000-5000 - completely maxed out by default in the current Steam release (50.04). The poor dwarves are presumably too addled by drink to perform cognitively at that level in front of such a large audience. Or maybe it has something to do with Vitamin D (for Dwarf) deficiency: at present, the only intelligent, civilization-forming creatures without maxed-out memory attributes are the ones who are known to embrace a subterranean existence - kobolds, dwarves, etc. Coincidence? I think not.

Notes:
*Skills have both Primary attributes (labeled "A") and Secondary attributes (labeled "B" and "C"). Primary attributes give a bonus for every 100 points, while secondary attributes give a bonus for every 250 points.
*Spatial Sense and Kinesthetic Sense are almost everywhere
*Nothing trains Disease Resistance or Recuperation
*Intimidator and Comedian, both social skills, raise Agility. Dwarven comedy is slapstick/clowning, not stand-up.
*Student skill doesn't boost skill gain except for teacher-student relations in a barracks
*Choose high-volume labors that train useful attributes for militia day-jobs/bootcamp
*Fishing, Siege Operating, and Record Keeping are useful for marksdwarves as they train the Focus attribute
*Hunting (ambusher/sneak) has identical attribute gain to Crossbow and Archer skills

== Dwarf attributes ==

Each attribute is a number between 0 and 5000, but in dwarven terms anything below 200 is rare [http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=5882] and anything above 2500 is extraordinary. In the default raws (/raw/objects/creature_standard.txt), dwarven attributes come in four levels.

Focus and Spatial Sense are referred to as "++", or two steps above default. Their range is defined as [700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500], which sets out six ranges: 700-1200, 1200-1400, etc. Dwarves have an equal chance of dropping into any of these ranges, and an equal probability again of getting any number in that range. So the bottom one-sixth of your dwarves will be really low, the top one-sixth really high, and the two-thirds in the middle huddled around average. This also means that the median and the mean are slightly different: the mean for ++ is 1516.66... while median is 1500.

Strength, Toughness, Analytical Ability, Creativity, Patience, and Memory are +, or one step above default. Their ranges are [450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250], and their mean is 1266.66...

Endurance, Disease Resistance, Recuperation, Intuition, Willpower, Kinesthetic Sense, Linguistic Ability, Musicality, Empathy, and Social Awareness are AVG, or the default. Their ranges are not specified in the raws, but they are [200:700:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Physical and [200:800:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Mental.

Agility is "-", the only attribute to be below default. Its ranges are [150:600:800:900:1000:1100:1500], mean 862.5, median 900.

== Training attributes ==

It would seem that various skills train various attributes at different rates. For physical attributes and Willpower, military training works best - it relatively quickly gives a dwarf some extra Agility and Strength, making them walk and work faster in all areas (According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121573.msg3944723#msg3944723] speed is a factor in determining how fast a labour is completed).

According to [https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zquv8f/psa_you_can_build_a_gym_for_your_military_with/] Reddit post, strength and stamina can be trained via screw pumps reasonably quickly. The pumps don't have to be adjacent to any liquids, and dwarves will still operate them, pumping air.

Plant gathering trains Agility, Kinesthetic Sense, and Memory to a lesser degree. After a couple of years, plant gatherers become the faster dwarves in the fortress and are generally suitable for transfer to any demanding job.

Attributes are capped in Adventure mode and probably also in dwarf mode. Those caps are governed by {{token|MENT_ATT_CAP_PERC}} and {{token|PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC}}. By default the maximum attribute values (barring increases from vampirism and other interactions) are governed by the starting value as well as the median for that caste (that is the middle value in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RANGE}}, for example 1000 for most attributes for dwarves).
attribute_cap = starting_value + max {starting_value, median}

The speed of learning attributes is governed by "cost to improve" in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RATES}} and {{token|MENT_ATT_RATES}}. By default CTI for attributes is 500, which means the counter for using that attribute has to be incremented 500 times for the dwarf to gain 1 in that attribute. The lower the CTI, the faster an attribute increases. According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=66525.msg3993120#msg3993120] the counter is incremented every ten ticks a skill using that attribute is in use. This means it takes 5000 TUs or just over 4 in-game days of continuous labour to improve an attribute by 1. The improved attribute gain from military training may stem from the fact that sparring and individual combat drills train multiple skills at the same time.

==Standard ranges==

The game comes pre-stocked with several sets of attribute ranges, some better than others. The signs that come after the numeral ranges indicate what level that range represents, but have no effect in and of themselves.

{{Quality|Unrated}}
{{av}}

[[File:stats_icon.png|140px|right]]A creature has numerous '''attributes''' which affect its performance at various tasks, split into physical factors associated with the body, and mental factors associated with the [[soul]].

Attributes can be viewed in the [[thoughts and preferences]] screen. Body attributes are listed directly before prefstrings; soul attributes directly after. Positive attributes are shown in green, negative attributes are shown in red, and average attributes are omitted. Said attributes may be listed on the thoughts and preferences screen as follows (may have to be highlighted to be seen): 
{{DFtext|He is slow to tire and agile, |2:0}}{{DFtext|but he is quite susceptible to disease.|4:0}}

Attributes are associated with skills, so that shield use will raise endurance as an attribute, but not attributes like memory. Different attributes raised by one skill may not be raised by the same amount. Attribute and skill gain and rust rates are moddable in the raws as a [[creature token]].

Attributes can be viewed for individual dwarves by selecting ({{k|v}}iew dwarves, {{k|z}}, {{k|enter}}), or by going to the ({{k|u}}nits menu, {{k|v}}iew, then {{k|enter}}).

== Descriptions ==
In-game attribute descriptions are calculated based on the difference from the [[creature|species]] average. [[Human]]s' median attribute values are always 1000. Thus, if the median [[dwarf]] has higher than 1000 for an attribute, that means the median dwarf is better than the median human for that attribute (however, individual humans may be better than individual dwarves due to intraspecies variation). Likewise, if the median dwarf has below 1000 for an attribute, then the median human bests the median dwarf in that contest.

The tiers at which descriptions change are 250, 500, 750, and 1000 above or below the species median. Interestingly, if a species has an attribute with a median below 1000, such as dwarves' agility, the lowest tier will never be displayed.

These descriptions are not used in [[adventurer mode]].

== Body attributes ==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different, as they are calculated based on the species average. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

=== Strength ===
Alters the damage done in melee (increases velocity of weapon swings), increases muscle mass (a thicker muscle layer also resists damage more), and increases how much a creature can carry. Higher strength also increases the speed of fast [[gait]]s in most creatures, including running, soaring, galloping, and fast swimming, however, proportionate gains in muscle mass can eventually reduce speed enough to overtake the gains (more so with larger creatures than dwarves). The dwarven median of 1250 is higher than average.

|-

|-
| 501–750 || very weak
|-
| 251–500 || unquestionably weak
|-
| 0–250 || unfathomably weak
|}

===Agility===
This attribute affects the speed of a creature's fast-moving [[gait]]s in the same way as strength — a creature with maximum agility and strength can run faster than a creature with minimum agility and strength. The median dwarf agility of 900 is slightly below average.

Because dwarves in general have below-average agility, and because the descriptions are based on the difference from the racial average, no dwarves will ever display as "abysmally clumsy".

==Soul attributes==
The attribute values given in the tables correspond to default racial averages for dwarves only. Modded dwarves or any other creature will report the same phrases, but the underlying numbers may be very different. In almost every case, a higher attribute value is better, as opposed to [[personality trait]]s where one may prefer higher or lower depending on the situation.

From [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=60554.msg1413312#msg1413312 this post by Toady One]:
<blockquote>
With respect to skills: most of these attributes only affect duration, when that is the only available skill effect to begin with, but they are factored into outcomes when it applies.

Notes:
*Skills have both Primary attributes (labeled "A") and Secondary attributes (labeled "B" and "C"). Primary attributes give a bonus for every 100 points, while secondary attributes give a bonus for every 250 points.
*Spatial Sense and Kinesthetic Sense are almost everywhere
*Nothing trains Disease Resistance or Recuperation
*Intimidator and Comedian, both social skills, raise Agility. Dwarven comedy is slapstick/clowning, not stand-up.
*Student skill doesn't boost skill gain except for teacher-student relations in a barracks
*Choose high-volume labors that train useful attributes for militia day-jobs/bootcamp
*Fishing, Siege Operating, and Record Keeping are useful for marksdwarves as they train the Focus attribute
*Hunting (ambusher/sneak) has identical attribute gain to Crossbow and Archer skills

== Dwarf attributes ==

Each attribute is a number between 0 and 5000, but in dwarven terms anything below 200 is rare [http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=5882] and anything above 2500 is extraordinary. In the default raws (/raw/objects/creature_standard.txt), dwarven attributes come in four levels.

Focus and Spatial Sense are referred to as "++", or two steps above default. Their range is defined as [700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500], which sets out six ranges: 700-1200, 1200-1400, etc. Dwarves have an equal chance of dropping into any of these ranges, and an equal probability again of getting any number in that range. So the bottom one-sixth of your dwarves will be really low, the top one-sixth really high, and the two-thirds in the middle huddled around average. This also means that the median and the mean are slightly different: the mean for ++ is 1516.66... while median is 1500.

Strength, Toughness, Analytical Ability, Creativity, Patience, and Memory are +, or one step above default. Their ranges are [450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250], and their mean is 1266.66...

Endurance, Disease Resistance, Recuperation, Intuition, Willpower, Kinesthetic Sense, Linguistic Ability, Musicality, Empathy, and Social Awareness are AVG, or the default. Their ranges are not specified in the raws, but they are [200:700:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Physical and [200:800:900:1000:1100:1300:2000] for Mental.

Agility is "-", the only attribute to be below default. Its ranges are [150:600:800:900:1000:1100:1500], mean 862.5, median 900.

== Training attributes ==

It would seem that various skills train various attributes at different rates. For physical attributes and Willpower, military training works best - it relatively quickly gives a dwarf some extra Agility and Strength, making them walk and work faster in all areas (According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121573.msg3944723#msg3944723] speed is a factor in determining how fast a labour is completed).

According to [https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/zquv8f/psa_you_can_build_a_gym_for_your_military_with/] Reddit post, strength and stamina can be trained via screw pumps reasonably quickly. The pumps don't have to be adjacent to any liquids, and dwarves will still operate them, pumping air.

Attributes are capped in Adventure mode and probably also in dwarf mode. Those caps are governed by {{token|MENT_ATT_CAP_PERC}} and {{token|PHYS_ATT_CAP_PERC}}. By default the maximum attribute values (barring increases from vampirism and other interactions) are governed by the starting value as well as the median for that caste (that is the middle value in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RANGE}}, for example 1000 for most attributes for dwarves).
attribute_cap = starting_value + max {starting_value, median}

The speed of learning attributes is governed by "cost to improve" in {{token|PHYS_ATT_RATES}} and {{token|MENT_ATT_RATES}}. By default CTI for attributes is 500, which means the counter for using that attribute has to be incremented 500 times for the dwarf to gain 1 in that attribute. The lower the CTI, the faster an attribute increases. According to [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=66525.msg3993120#msg3993120] the counter is incremented every ten ticks a skill using that attribute is in use. This means it takes 5000 TUs or just over 4 in-game days of continuous labour to improve an attribute by 1. The improved attribute gain from military training may stem from the fact that sparring and individual combat drills train multiple skills at the same time.

==Standard ranges==

The game comes pre-stocked with several sets of attribute ranges, some better than others. The signs that come after the numeral ranges indicate what level that range represents, but have no effect in and of themselves.
