The '''beekeeping industry''' is a straightforward process that allows a fortress to produce food ({{L|honey}}, {{L|royal jelly}}), drink ({{L|mead}}), and craftable items ({{L|wax}}).

First up you need an area that can support {{L|honey bee}}s. These {{L|vermin}}-type creatures occur in any non-freezing {{L|biome}}. After finding a colony of bees, the next step is to create an artificial {{l|hive}} in the {{L|craftsdwarf's workshop}}, {{L|kiln}} or {{L|metalsmith's forge}} using stone, wood, ceramics or metal.
Construction of the hive is then done by a dwarf with the {{L|beekeeping}} labor enabled, and must be made in a tile adjacent to an outside tile. Unless the player specifies otherwise (with {{K|q}}-{{K|c}}), the beekeeper will then automatically find the nearest live hive and transfer it to the artificial hive.

For each empty built hive being set to 'Install colony when ready', an 'Install Colony in Hive' task will be automatically added to the job list. Beekeepers would not take the job unless there is a wild colony of honey bees or ready to split domestic colony in a hive.

From there the player has two options:
* The player may toggle the hive (using {{K|q}}-{{K|g}}) so that the product is not automatically gathered. This will cause the hive to grow, allowing it to be split into additional artificial hives.
* If the player chooses to have the hive harvested, a beekeeper will approach the hive after 6 months{{verify}} or so and transfer royal jelly to an empty {{L|jug}} and produce a {{L|honeycomb}}.

To view if an artificial hive has any bees in it, royal jelly and wax honeycomb, use "view items in buildings" ({{K|t}}).

The royal jelly is counted as an edible item and can be cooked or eaten as is. The honeycomb requires a bit more effort: it must be brought to a {{L|screw press}} to be turned into honey, which is also edible and can be cooked. Pressing a honeycomb also requires an empty jug.

That honey can then be brought to a {{L|still}} and, when combined with a non-absorbent {{L|barrel}}, can create mead.

The pressed honeycomb can be brought to a {{L|craftsdwarf's workshop}} and turned into wax {{L|crafts}}.

A '''grate''' is a {{L|furniture}}-type item. It is used as a construction material for wall grates and floor grates. Grates can be constructed from {{L|stone}} or {{L|ore}} (with the {{L|masonry}} {{L|labor}} at a {{L|mason's workshop}}), wood (with the {{L|carpentry}} labor in a {{L|carpenter's workshop}}), {{L|Metal|metal bar}}s (with the {{L|blacksmithing}} labor at a {{L|forge}}), or {{L|glass}} (with the {{L|glassmaking}} labor at a {{L|glass furnace}}).

== Wall Grate ==

A wall grate is basically a {{L|fortification}}, but with 2 differences:
* It is a {{L|building}} instead of a {{L|construction}}. It doesn't overwrite the tile below it, and it can be smashed by building destroyers.
* It can be linked to a {{L|lever}} or {{L|pressure plate}}. Once linked, it works like a linked {{L|door}} which doesn't stop fluids or {{L|arrow}}s when closed.
Wall grates set the boundary for the room being resized, but they do not provide support for the doors construction.
Unlike a constructed wall, the grate has some quality level and can be decorated.

== Floor Grate ==
A floor grate blocks {{L|creatures|creature}} and item movement like a {{L|floor hatch}}, but it lets {{L|water}}, {{L|magma}}, and ranged attacks through like an open tile. It doesn't block line of sight. It can be linked. Triggered, it opens like a hatch, but with a 100-tick delay.

Floor grates must be attached {{L|orthogonal|orthogonally}} (i.e. not diagonally) to firm ground or some solid construction (a wall, floor, etc), not (just) other grates.

A floor grate does NOT count as solid construction. It will not support any buildings or constructions. However, you can designate a construction to be built orthogonally to it with no other supports. This will cause the construction to cave-in immediately after being completed. This can be useful for controlled cave-ins.

You can not have a {{L|stockpile}} on floor grates.

Tiles below a floor grate do count as inside. They will not stop light.

== Bars vs. Grates ==

Vertical and horizontal {{L|bars}} seem to be functionally identical. The difference between grates and bars is that bars can only be made of metal (and other materials that come in {{L|bar}}s) but they can be constructed by any dwarf from {{L|bar|raw metal bars}} and do not require an intermediate production step.

Expedition leader: /* Happy Thoughts */

{{quality|Fine|08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Thoughts''' are the reported observations and sentiments of the {{l|Dwarves}} in {{l|Fortress Mode}}. Over the course of play, a dwarf will experience things that make them more or less happy, with each experience recorded and displayed as a Thought. The rate at which a dwarf gains certain thoughts is controlled by {{l|personality}}.

Dwarven psychology is relatively simple. There are Good Thoughts and Bad Thoughts. Lots of Good Thoughts will make your dwarves ecstatic {{l|party|party animals}} who have lots of {{l|children}}. Too many Bad Thoughts and your dwarvese will throw {{L|tantrum|tantrums}}. Too many tantrums and the Bad Thoughts will {{l|Fun|spread}}. If you wish to avoid Bad Thoughts, please consult ways of {{L|keeping your dwarves happy}}.

The change in {{L|Status icon|status}} that triggers bad thoughts about thirst, hunger, and fatigue can also slow the speed at which a dwarf works and moves. To view a dwarf's recent thoughts and current happiness level, press {{key|k}}, move the cursor to the dwarf, and press {{key|enter}} twice. (Or {{key|v}}, move to the dwarf, then {{key|z}} and {{key|enter}}.) Now you will see a page describing the dwarf's feelings and thoughts, physical description, and a set of phrases describing personality traits. A dwarf's level of happiness will affect the type of {{L|strange mood}} they fall into should they be chosen for one.

Below are thoughts your dwarves may experience over the course of a game. For a full list of the game's programmed thoughts (whether or not they appear in gameplay), please see the {{l|List of Dwarven Thoughts}}.

[[Image:Df-crops-diagram.png|thumb|200px|General farming flowchart.]]

'''Farming''' is the action of growing {{l|crops}} for {{l|food}}, {{l|alcohol}} production and {{l|cloth}} manufacturing. While small forts can easily be sustained by plant gathering, {{l|hunting}} and trading, farming is vital to large settlements.

Farming is done at a '''farm plot''' building ({{k|b}}-{{k|p}}, resize with {{k|u}}{{k|m}}{{k|k}}{{k|h}}). It requires {{l|seeds}} and a worker with the "Farming (Fields)" {{l|labor}} enabled.

Depending on where the farm plot is constructed, different crops may be planted. Farm plots built {{l|above ground}} are not suitable for the crops grown on {{L|subterranean}} farm plots and vice versa. Note that the attributes {{DFtext|Inside |6:0:0}}, {{DFtext|Dark |0:0:1}}, {{DFtext|Outside|3:0:1}} and {{DFtext|Light|6:0:1}} are of no relevance.

See the article on {{L|crop}}s for details on the conditions needed to grow the available plants.

== Introduction to Farming ==

After building a farm plot building ({{k|b}}-{{k|p}}, resize with {{k|u}}{{k|m}}{{k|k}}{{k|h}}), you must select which crops to plant there.

Press {{k|q}} and move the cursor over the farm, you will see a list of crops you can select to grow in the current season. You can change which season is displayed by pressing {{k|a}},{{k|b}},{{k|c}}, or {{k|d}}. Move the blue selector up and down with {{k|-}} and {{k|+}}, and press {{k|Enter}} to choose a crop to plant during that season (highlighted in white).

You must have the appropriate {{L|seed}}s to plant a crop there. To easily see how many of each seeds you have you can go to the Kitchen menu ({{k|z}} {{k|right}} {{k|Enter}}). {{L|Plump helmet}}s are a good beginning crop for a first cave farm, and {{L|wild strawberries}} are a good choice for outdoor fields. Check the {{L|crop}}s page for details on different seeds. Only some plants are edible so make sure the seeds you're using will produce food. It's often a good idea to pick a seed which produces a plant which can be {{L|brew}}ed. This will create {{L|alcohol}} and also give you a seed to plant again next season.

Instructing a plot to remain fallow {{k|z}} during a particular season will instruct dwarves not to plant in that plot during that season.

=== Fertilization ===
<Table BORDER=1 align="right"><tr><td align="center">Farm Size</td><td>Potash</td><td>Per Square</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">1</td><td align="center">1</td><td align="center">1.000</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">2</td><td align="center">1</td><td align="center">0.500</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">3</td><td align="center">1</td><td align="center">0.333</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">4</td><td align="center">2</td><td align="center">0.500</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">5</td><td align="center">2</td><td align="center">0.400</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">6</td><td align="center">2</td><td align="center">0.333</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">7</td><td align="center">2</td><td align="center">0.286</td></tr>
<tr><td align="center">8</td><td align="center">3</td><td align="center">0.375</td></tr></table>

Pressing {{k|f}} lets you toggle fertilization on or off. To fertilize a farm plot, one needs {{L|potash}}, which is produced by processing {{L|ash}}. It greatly increases the yield of a plot (approx. multiplied by four). However fertilization only lasts for one season, and requires plot size / 4 (round down) + 1 of {{L|potash}} for saturation. Therefore fully fertilizing a farm would require burning a large amount of trees each season. The table on the right illustrates the effect of the formula on potash needed per square. Generally, larger farms use less, approaching a limit of 1/4 bar ber square. The worst sizes are multiples of 4, it's better to have plots one or two less than a multiple of 4. While costly, fertilization enhances productivity of not only farmers, but many industries down the line, e.g. brewing, cooking, milling and threshing, due to the large increase in stack size of the plants, which are still processed in a single action.

=== Subterranean Farming ===

To grow the six "dwarven" plants, including the {{l|plump helmet}}, you will need an underground farm plot. The seeds and spawn available to your dwarves at embark will only grow underground. Underground farm plots must be placed on soil or {{L|mud}}dy stone.{{version|0.31.19}}

Muddying a stone floor requires temporarily covering it with water: common methods include a bucket brigade or '''controlled''' flooding (see: {{l|Irrigation}}) by temporarily diverting a river or pool, using a floodgate or door to stop the flow. You may also find a muddied area in a {{L|cavern}}, but note that each tile underneath the farm plot must be muddied. Most caverns have entire open areas which will be permanently covered in mud, but if you dig into the walls of a cavern or chisel away a pillar, the freshly cut floor area will not be muddied until you get it wet. Underground caverns are dirty, and frequently contain {{L|Mud|piles of mud}} that are perfect for quickly setting up farms. However, given the wide variety of creatures found in caverns, you may want to take precautions. Consider keeping a {{L|squad}} close at hand to guard the farm, or walling off a muddied area for your dwarves' exclusive use.

Underground farming is not restricted to soil layers and caverns: underground floor of any material -- rough stone, smoothed stone, ore, gem -- can support subterranean farm plots once there is a layer of mud covering it. See {{L|irrigation}} for tips on getting the right amount of water to the farm plots.

=== Above Ground Farming ===
Above ground crops farming is impossible in Ocean and Mountain biomes, even if the farm is build on mud.

Above ground farming is basically the same as underground farming, with the simplifying distinction that above ground plots typically do not require preparatory work. However, there are some complications.

The first complication is that seeds cannot be chosen at embark, as dwarven civilizations do not have access to those sort of plants. They can be bought from {{L|Elves|elven}} and {{L|human}} caravans; above-ground plants can be gathered using the {{L|Plant gathering}} designation, and then {{L|brewer|brewed}}, {{L|mill}}ed, {{L|thresher|threshed}} or {{L|dining hall|eaten}} directly (depending on the plant) to produce seeds.

The second complication is that the farming must be done on {{L|soil}} or muddied rock, being {{L|above ground}}. Typically, it is done on the surface, which is dangerous (due to aggressive animals, ambushes and sieges). However, any land which has ever been exposed to sunlight becomes permanently marked as "above ground". So, if you have multiple Z-layers of soil, you can channel some above-ground land, remove the resulting ramps, then construct a floor above, where the surface once was. The (now inside and protected) lower soil will still be suitable for farming outdoor plants like {{L|wild strawberry|wild strawberries}}, {{L|longland grass}}, {{L|rope reed}}, and anything else you may find. If your soil is not thick enough, you may still get a secure above ground farm by doing the same with any rock and muddying it. Alternatively, you may build a greenhouse around some soil.

Above ground farms built on unmuddied rock layers will show the message "No seeds available for this location", and you ''will not'' be able to plant anything in them.

Some crops require a particular temperature range to grow; so although it may be possible to plant them in any season, to obtain optimal usage of farm plots it may be necessary to coordinate planting with seasonal temperature variations.

== Farm plots in action ==

Once a farm plot has been built and crops have been selected for the current season, dwarves with the {{l|growing}} labor enabled will begin planting the selected seed. The higher a Dwarf's grower skill in planting, the more plants will be harvested from each seed planted. The farming labor is fairly low in priority, so if you want a full time farmer, it is best to disable all other labors.

Plants take time to grow, depending on their type. Once a plant is fully grown, a dwarf will harvest it. By default, any dwarf will do this. Harvesting plants is not affected by any skill, although it provides a small amount of grower experience. Plants that remain in the field for too long will wither. These plants will eventually rot away.

Depending on the number of growers and their experience and the rate at which the plant grows, not all squares of large plots may be used. {{verify}}

== Management ==

Create a custom {{L|stockpile}} near your {{L|farm}} which will only accept {{L|seed}}s. This will consolidate your seeds into one place, instead of having them littered all through the {{L|dining room}}. As a large number of seeds can be stored in a single barrel, this stockpile can be only three or four tiles. Alternately, you can make a more traditional sized custom stockpile, which only accepts seeds and bars of {{L|potash}} for fertilizing.

You can also create a custom stockpile that will only accept {{L|plant}}s, to avoid having it all mixed up with your {{L|meat}} and {{L|drink}}s. It would be a good idea to have this stockpile near your {{L|still}}, {{L|farmer's workshop}}, {{L|kitchen}}, etc.

Use the {{L|stocks}} menu, and go to the Kitchen tab. From here you can see how many of each kind of food you have. If you're running out of a certain kind of seed, toggle the corresponding plant "Cook" setting to red. {{L|Cooking}} plants doesn't leave a seed. If you have too many of a certain kind of seed, toggle the seed "Cook" setting to blue. Just make sure you check on the stocks (or just forbid one seed and leave it for emergency) and toggle it back before you run out!

v0.31:Item value

2011-04-18T17:54:45Z

Expedition leader:

{{quality|Exceptional|16:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Value''' is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the {{L|quality}} of its creation, and any {{L|decoration}}s on it.

The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a {{L|stone}}, a {{L|statue}}) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' ({{L|granite}}, {{L|gold}}) and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, added to any final value for '''decorations'''.

==Base values of items==
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the item itself, not what it is made out of. For example, a {{L|wood}} {{L|block}} uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'wooden', and a block of gold ore or any other material would use the ''same'' '''base value''', for a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then multiplied by the {{L|material}} and/or the {{L|quality}} multiplier(s), if appropriate.

===Items with neither material nor quality===
'''Needs verification!'''
The potential list includes, among others: {{L|alcohol}}, {{L|seed}}s, {{L|lye}}, {{L|Quarry bush|quarry bush leaves}}, {{L|sand}}, {{L|dye}}, {{L|extracts}}, {{L|milk}}, {{L|flour}}, {{L|cheese}}, {{L|gnomeblight}}

:[1] "Decorations" include "It is decorated with <material>", "It is encircled with bands of <material>", "It is adorned with hanging rings of <material>", "This object menaces with spikes of <material>", "On this object is an image of <description> in <material>", "It is studded with <metal>". See also the section about {{L|decoration}}s.
:[3] Except for {{L|ballista|ballista part}}, {{L|catapult|catapult part}}, {{L|mechanism}}, {{L|statue}}, and {{L|window}}, which are listed separately.
:[4] Cloth items get a free decoration made of the same material. Goods made out of [[cloth]] get the following built in as decorations: the cloth (with quality mod), the {{L|thread}} (without quality), and the {{L|dye}} (with quality).

==Material multipliers==
The material multiplier of an item is found from the [MATERIAL_VALUE:#] tag in the raws for the material it is made out of, and can be further augmented using [MULTIPLY_VALUE:#]. For example, a wood block uses the same material multiplier as a wood {{L|log}} or {{L|chest}} - that is the material value for wood which is 1.

Expedition leader:

{{quality|Exceptional|16:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Value''' is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the {{L|quality}} of its creation, and any {{L|decoration}}s on it.

The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a {{L|stone}}, a {{L|statue}}) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' ({{L|granite}}, {{L|gold}}) and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, added to any final value for '''decorations'''.

==Base values of items==
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the item itself, not what it is made out of. For example, a {{L|wood}} {{L|block}} uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'wooden', and a block of gold ore or any other material would use the ''same'' '''base value''', for a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then multiplied by the {{L|material}} and/or the {{L|quality}} multiplier(s), if appropriate.

==Material multipliers==
The material multiplier of an item is found from the [MATERIAL_VALUE:#] tag in the raws for the material it is made out of, and can be further augmented using [MULTIPLY_VALUE:#]. For example, a wood block uses the same material multiplier as a wood {{L|log}} or {{L|chest}} - that is the material value for wood which is 1.

Expedition leader: added capybara to x2 animal section

{{quality|Exceptional|16:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Value''' is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the {{L|quality}} of its creation, and any {{L|decoration}}s on it.

The '''final value''' of an item is the '''base value''' of the form of the object (a {{L|stone}}, a {{L|statue}}) multiplied by the '''material multiplier''' ({{L|granite}}, {{L|gold}}) and by the '''quality modifier''' (fine, masterful) if any, added to any final value for '''decorations'''.

==Base values of items==
The '''base value''' of an item is determined by the item itself, not what it is made out of. For example, a {{L|wood}} {{L|block}} uses the base value for a block, not the multiplier for 'wooden', and a block of gold ore or any other material would use the ''same'' '''base value''', for a "block". In both cases, the '''final value''' is then multiplied by the {{L|material}} and/or the {{L|quality}} multiplier(s), if appropriate.

===Items with neither material nor quality===
'''Needs verification!'''
The potential list includes, among others: {{L|alcohol}}, {{L|seed}}s, {{L|lye}}, {{L|Quarry bush|quarry bush leaves}}, {{L|sand}}, {{L|dye}}, {{L|extracts}}, {{L|milk}}, {{L|flour}}, {{L|cheese}}, {{L|gnomeblight}}

:[1] "Decorations" include "It is decorated with <material>", "It is encircled with bands of <material>", "It is adorned with hanging rings of <material>", "This object menaces with spikes of <material>", "On this object is an image of <description> in <material>", "It is studded with <metal>". See also the section about {{L|decoration}}s.
:[3] Except for {{L|ballista|ballista part}}, {{L|catapult|catapult part}}, {{L|mechanism}}, {{L|statue}}, and {{L|window}}, which are listed separately.
:[4] Cloth items get a free decoration made of the same material. Goods made out of [[cloth]] get the following built in as decorations: the cloth (with quality mod), the {{L|thread}} (without quality), and the {{L|dye}} (with quality).

==Material multipliers==
The material multiplier of an item is found from the [MATERIAL_VALUE:#] tag in the raws for the material it is made out of, and can be further augmented using [MULTIPLY_VALUE:#]. For example, a wood block uses the same material multiplier as a wood {{L|log}} or {{L|chest}} - that is the material value for wood which is 1.

Expedition leader: /* Meaning of GRAZER value */

If you multiply a grazing creature's maximum SIZE by its GRAZER value, the result is almost always 60 million (yaks, muskoxen, deer, reindeer, and alpacas are slightly lower due to rounding); thus, all creatures graze at a rate proportional to their size. As such, the best livestock are the ones that grow up to the greatest size in the smallest amount of time, and the winner is the water buffalo, growing to 10,000kg within only 2 years. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Given that higher values equate to lower food consumption, the latter seems more likely. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

v0.31:Stockpile

2011-04-13T12:47:38Z

Expedition leader: /* Bugs */

{{quality|Exceptional|21:03, 7 January 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}}

'''Stockpiles''' are where {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} will store items of various types. Dwarves with the corresponding "{{L|hauling}}" job on will seek out items that aren't already on a stockpile that accepts them and carry them to the appropriate stockpile. It's important to place your stockpiles carefully to minimize the amount of time spent carrying items to and from them. Items in a stockpile may be stored in {{L|bag|bags}}, {{L|barrel|barrels}} or {{L|bin|bins}} (see {{L|Using bins and barrels}}). Seed bags can go inside barrels.

== Allocating stockpiles ==

To allocate an area as a stockpile, use the {{key|p}} menu. The right-hand menu pane will list all the stockpile categories, and the appropriate key to press to begin allocating that type. Allocating an area works exactly the same as designating an area. Press {{k|Enter}} to specify the first corner of the stockpile, use the primary movement keys to move the cursor to the opposite corner, and press {{k|Enter}} again. This will create a stockpile of the chosen type that occupies the area between the two corners specified. If the chosen area has parts that cannot be made into a stockpile, like a {{L|wall}}, a {{L|workshop}}, or an already existing stockpile, a stockpile will be created but they will not be part of it.

Removing a stockpile works exactly the same, but choose {{key|x}}: Remove Designation. This will un-designate the specified area. It is possible to create a single stockpile with a shape other than a rectangle by using the Remove Designation tool to remove only part of the stockpile.

Stockpiles cannot be expanded once created; you must delete the pile and create a new one.

== Using stockpiles ==

Once a stockpile has been allocated, dwarves will automatically move items to the stockpile when they are available, and as long as the stockpile has available space. Note that the dwarves will place the item into the empty spot that is nearest to the item, ''not counting any obstructions''{{verify}}. Additional behavior also includes the fact that dwarves will stockpile the ''newest'' item first, which may not necessarily be the nearest item to the stockpile.

When dwarves need an item for a particular task, they will head to the nearest (again, not counting any obstructions that may lie in the way) item of the correct type, regardless of whether it is in a stockpile or not. Apart from some exceptions, items do not have to be stockpiled at all. Players are generally advised to avoid stone stockpiles, because stone {{L|hauling}} jobs take an extreme amount of time for unskilled dwarves, due to the weight hauled.

One method to ensure a workshop has raw material on hand is to place a small stockpile next to the workshop. This will speed up production as the crafter in question only has to take a few steps to obtain the material. It also has a useful side-effect, in that as soon as the crafter picks up the piece of material, the stockpile will issue a new task to fetch another piece of that material. Because that crafter is busy, that hauling job will be taken by another {{L|dwarf}}. This speeds up a queue of jobs, as other dwarfs perform the time-consuming distant haul whilst the crafter actually makes the items.

It's not necessary to place stockpiles for all types of objects. If no storage is available for a certain item type, dwarves will seek out items wherever they might lie as mentioned earlier. This can be advantageous -- if you don't have a stockpile for {{L|gem|gems}}, your {{L|jeweler}} will go pick up fresh gems without waiting for them to be carried to a pile first. However, this also means your jeweler has to spend a lot of time fetching the gems. If you have enough haulers available, it's generally more advantageous to designate stockpiles than not. Also remember that your workshops will get {{L|clutter|cluttered}} and suffer production slowdowns if you let items pile up in them, so it's important to regularly clear out workshops when they get cluttered. This can be done either by having a stockpile available so that haulers will remove the items or by removing and rebuilding the workshop, which will empty its contents onto the ground.

== Take from a stockpile ==

Another feature of stockpiles, currently in a limited form, allows you to tell dwarves to fill one stockpile not only with unstockpiled items, but also those located on another stockpile that accepts those items. To specify such a flow, use the {{k|q}} menu, and highlight the ''destination'' stockpile. Press {{k|t}}, and, using the cursor, highlight another stockpile and press {{k|Enter}}. Your chosen stockpile will now list the stockpile it will take from. This will cause items in the second stockpile to be hauled to the first stockpile. To stop the first stockpile from taking items from the second, use the {{K|q}} menu on the first one, highlight the unneeded stockpile in the list using {{K|+}} and {{K|-}} and press {{K|d}}'''elete Selected'''.

Each stockpile can take from any number of other stockpiles, but can only have one stockpile taking from it in turn. This limit applies even if the two stockpiles you want it to feed into don't share a single material that can be stored in both of them. Additionally, you can't make two stockpiles feed into each other, although larger loops (e.g. 3 stockpiles that feed into each other in a circle) are allowed.

However, despite these limitations, enough micromanagement will allow for effective and (relatively) streamlined supply chains. For example, you can speed up {{L|wood cutting|lumber harvesting}}, {{L|carpentry}}, ''and'' {{L|ash}} and {{L|charcoal}} production by putting several wood stockpiles near the various {{L|Chop_down_trees|tree-felling areas}}, then one large "primary" stockpile near the {{L|carpenter's workshop}} that takes from those small ones, and then finally, a small stockpile near the {{L|wood furnace}} that takes from the primary one.

== Stockpile categories ==

==={{L|Ammo}}===
This stockpile contains ammo for all forms of ammunition-requiring weaponry (except siege engines). It can use {{L|bin|bins}} to consolidate up to 100 units of ammo.

==={{L|Animal}}===
{{L|Creature|Animals}} stored in {{L|cage|cages}} that are not affixed to a location will be stored in these stockpiles. {{L|Animal trap|Traps}} used for capturing wild animals and empty {{L|cage|cages}} are also stored here.

==={{L|Armor}}===
Armor of all types is stored here. This kind of stockpile can use bins to consolidate up to 10 items. There is no preference for specific body parts. All types of armor can be stored in {{L|bin|bins}}.

==={{L|Bar}}/{{L|Block}}===
Bars of smelted {{L|metal}} and blocks of cut stone and {{L|glass}} are kept here after being processed by the {{L|smelter}}, {{L|mason's workshop|mason's workshops}}, and {{L|glass furnace|glass furnaces}}, before being used for other purposes. Weirdly, {{L|ash|ashes}}, {{L|potash}}, {{L|soap}}, {{L|charcoal}}, and {{L|coke}} from the {{L|wood furnace}}, {{L|ashery}}, {{L|alchemist's laboratory}} and smelter will also be stored here. Like with all stockpiles, this can be changed to allow for specific blocks and bars to be stored with custom settings. {{L|Bin|Bins}} can be used to consolidate up to 10 bars and blocks.

==={{L|Cloth}}===
Woven cloth and {{L|thread}} from the {{L|loom}} is stored here. {{L|Bin|Bins}} can be used to consolidate up to 10 items.

==={{L|Currency|Coins}}===
Minted coins are kept here. Bins can be used to consolidate up to 3000 coins, which is equivalent to six new coins stacks.

==={{L|Corpse | Corpses}}===
Dead dwarves and {{L|pet|pets}} that have no burial location will be placed here. If placed indoors, decaying bodies will generate {{L|miasma}}, but {{L|bone|bones}} will not be removed at the end of the season. Rotting {{L|pet|pets}} or {{L|friend|friends}} gives dwarves unhappy {{L|thought|thoughts}} unless they are given a proper burial in a {{L|Coffin|burial receptacle}}.

==={{L|Finished goods|Finished Goods}}===
Finished goods created by the {{L|craftsdwarf's workshop}}, as well as the {{L|clothier's shop}} and the {{L|leather works}}, are placed here before being used in trade or other uses. This type of stockpile can use {{L|bin|bins}} to consolidate up to 25 items.

=== {{L|Food}} ===

As one would assume based on the name, food is stored here. Unexpectedly, {{L|lye}}, {{L|giant desert scorpion}} venom, bags of {{L|dye}}, and {{L|Fire snake|liquid fire}} are as well. Raw {{L|fish}} is brought here before being processed by {{L|fishery}} and turned into edible {{L|meat}}. Drinks are always stored in {{L|barrel|barrels}}. Seeds can be stored in {{L|bag|bags}}, whereas other food items can be stored in {{L|barrel|barrels}} (up to 10 items per barrel, but note that
the stack +Cow meat roast [8]+ would count as eight items.)

Note that {{L|prepared meal|prepared meals}} in stacks larger than ten (☼Dwarven Beer Roast [200]☼ is possible) will not fit in a barrel, but will not rot once placed in a food stockpile, and still only take up one space. To free up barrels, you may decide to have separate prepared food stockpiles that do not accept barrels. If you cook larger meals, this shouldn't be a problem.

Food stockpiles should in most cases be specified as things like {{L|seed}} stockpiles or meat stockpiles or unprepared fish stockpiles; there are simply too many things that go in them.

==={{L|Furniture}} Storage===
Completed items from the {{L|carpenter's workshop}}, mason's workshop, and {{L|mechanic's workshop}} will be stored here, along with furniture created from other shops, until placed or used in another building. Bags filled with {{L|sand}} can also be stored in furniture stockpiles.

Since this is a very broad category, it may be useful to create stockpiles for a specific type of item (like barrels, bags, bins, mechanisms) via the stockpile settings.

==={{L|Gem}}===
This stockpile stores gems and raw {{L|glass}}, both cut and uncut, before being used in a construction. It can use {{L|bin|bins}} to consolidate up to 10 gems.

==={{L|Leather}}===
Leather, which is produced at a {{L|Tanner's shop}}, will be kept here. Like most stockpiles, it can use {{L|bin|bins}} to consolidate up to 10 items.

==={{L|refuse stockpile|Refuse}}===
Since dwarves hate rot because of the miasma it spreads when in an enclosed place like a {{L|cave}}, any garbage item that can rot will be stored in a refuse stockpile. Also, any XXdamaged itemsXX will be moved to the refuse stockpile. Many players prefer to place this stockpile outside their cavern, usually a small distance from the entrance. If placed indoors, decaying items will generate miasma, which will spread through your fortress and generate a small unhappy thought in any dwarf passing through it. For this reason it is sensible to build {{L|door|doors}} to all of your indoor refuse stockpiles - the miasma won't spread through a closed door so only dwarves with business in the room will be bothered by the rot. An alternative to this is to dig {{L|channel|channels}} down from the surface, creating an outside area inside your fortress. You can place your refuse stockpile here and whilst it will be in your fort it will technically be outside and won't generate miasma.

{{L|Bone}}s, {{L|skull}}s, and {{L|shell}}s are also stored here, whether they be from defeated enemies or raw food processing. If left in an area with high {{L|vermin}} levels, these will randomly disappear. Refuse stockpiles can be restricted to store only {{L|bone}}s, {{L|skull}}s, {{L|shell}}s, teeth, and horns/hooves.

Note that a refuse stockpile is not the same as a {{L|Activity_zone#Garbage_Dump|garbage dump}}. A garbage dump is only for things manually marked to be dumped. Additionally, refuse types specifically marked as '''Dwarves Dump '''''refuse type'' in {{k|o}}-{{k|r}} will be hauled to the garbage dump instead of the refuse stockpile.

Also note that if you allow bins to be used on your refuse pile, damaged clothing will be stored in it, allowing for more efficient use of your pile.

==={{L|Stone}}===
Rough stone will be stored here, as well as {{L|ore}}. Given the extreme abundance of stone, it is very likely for this stockpile to fill up quickly, making stone stockpiles largely ineffective for {{L|Stone_management|dealing with excess stone}}. Probably the best use of stone stockpiles is to make sure that workshops and smelters, catapults, and impending construction projects have their materials close at hand. Be aware that these things can use up a lot of stone very quickly, leading to your dwarves scurrying around the fortress trying to keep up. To avoid stone hauling when you don't want it, you can slow down or stop the nearby usage, allowing the stockpile to fill back up (and thus no longer need more stone), or you can set the dwarves to ignore minerals in {{key|o}}rders and options.

==={{L|Weapon|Weapons}}===
Weapons of all types are stored here by default, including the weapons that dwarves do not use, picks, and trap components. {{L|Bin|Bins}} can be used to consolidate up to 10 weapons of any type.

==={{L|Wood}}===
Chopped trees are brought to the wood stockpile before being used by the carpenter's, woodburner's or siege workshop. Because wood takes a long time to haul and tends to travel a long way, the stockpile should be rather close to a fortress entrance (which does not necessarily mean on the upper z-levels - moving down one z-level is only one tile), unless you have an {{L|Tower-cap|underground tree farm}}. It is a good idea to position this stockpile close to your carpenter's workshop (or the other way round) since he is likely to be the main "customer".

=== Custom stockpiles ===

With custom stockpiles you can change which types of materials, goods, etc, can be stored in that pile. Any types of things can be mixed, so you could have a stockpile that will hold raw {{L|turtle}}, {{L|mechanism|mechanisms}} and all stone types apart from {{L|onyx}} if you wanted, or only high-quality steel crossbow bolts (Ammo), all quivers (a Finished Good), and metal Crossbows (a Weapon) - the combinations are endless, and can be finely tuned. Highlighting a stockpile with {{key|q}}, then pressing {{key|s}} will allow you to adjust the stockpile settings or in the {{key|p}} menu you can press {{key|t}} to adjust a custom stockpiles settings before placing it with {{key|c}}. Note that many sub-menus consist of several pages ( the 'other' menu of stone e.g. consists of several pages while 'metal {{L|ore|ores}}' and 'economic' consist of only one ).

Note that using {{key|q}} also allows you to adjust the number of bins or barrels that a stockpile will use. By default, if the item can be stored, it will try to fill the entire stockpile with that type of container. This can be troublesome, especially early in the game when you don't have nearly enough to go around.

== Stockpile Settings ==
The '''Stockpile Settings''' screen is weird to use. In the first column are the major categories. In the second column there may or may not be subcategories. In the third you will see the individual items. The second and third columns are only visible when a category is enabled and selected.

You navigate this screen with {{key|+}} and {{key|-}}, and left and right on the arrow keys. {{key|e}} and {{key|d}} are used to enable and disable the categories. {{key|a}} and {{key|b}} are used to allow or disallow all the subcategories. {{key|p}} and {{key|f}} will permit or forbid individual subcategories. These six keys work no matter which column you have selected, though the last 4 will not always be available. {{key|Enter}} will toggle individual item types.

Be careful when selecting 'block all' on the subcategories as it can make your stockpiles useless. For example, if you block all the furniture subcategories and then re-enable beds under types, the stockpile won't actually accept anything because it still registers all materials as forbidden. The correct way would be to 'forbid types' and then re-enable beds.

== Notes ==
Some categories will have a special extra type of item(s) that can be toggled with {{key|u}} and sometimes {{key|j}}.

{| border="1" cellpadding="4"
|+
! Categories
! Item type
|-
| Animals
| Empty cages and Empty animal traps
|-
| Food
| Prepared food
|-
| Furniture
| Sand bag
|-
| Weapons
| usable and unusable
|-
| Armor
| usable and unusable
|}

If you disable an item or items that are already sitting in a stockpile then they become loose items and your dwarves will move them to a more suitable stockpile should one exist.

== Uses for Custom Stockpiles ==

A custom stockpile is most useful for food, furniture, and bar/block stockpiles, to prevent your lye and venom sitting next to the {{L|kitchen|kitchens}}, your {{L|floodgate|floodgates}} and mechanisms near the {{L|room|rooms}} that need {{L|statue|statues}} and doors, your stone blocks next to the forges, and your metal bars by the farms.

One use for this is to have an outdoor stockpile next to your gate that will accept all refuse except bones, shells, skins and skulls, and then an indoor pile near your craftsdwarf's workshop that will '''only''' accept these things. If you have set the option for dwarves to gather refuse from outside, the bones will be brought in once all the meat has rotted off of any carcasses outside. This means added risk to your dwarves if they try to gather refuse that is far from your gate, and additional hauling.

Another effective use of custom stockpiles is Elven trading. Make a stockpile just for elf-safe trade goods: most categories where it's relevant have a 'materials' option.

A highly efficient method is to have wood burning furnaces feeding into a '{{L|charcoal}} only' bar/blocks stockpile, which in turn is near the smelting furnaces and forges. Bonus points if you also place a small wood stockpile near the wood furnaces.

Other good uses:
* Planter's stock: {{L|seed|seeds}} and {{L|potash}}. (If your {{L|ashery}} is nearby, include ashes and lye.
* Smelter stock: {{L|ore|ores}} and {{L|flux}}.
* Sandpile: {{L|sand}} bags.
* Clothes Plus: a cloth stockpile that also includes {{L|dye|dyes}}. (Dyes normally count as food.)
* Food Plus: a food stockpile that includes barrels. This spares your dwarves from carrying empty barrels to and from the furniture stores.
* Skins: a refuse stockpile limited to {{L|skin|skins}}, a bit like the bone & shell stockpile above. Place near the tannery.
* Brewer's stock: {{L|List of crops|brewable plants}}.
* Refreshment stand: Since dwarves drink twice as often as they eat, having several small food stockpiles that only accept {{L|Alcohol|drinks}} scattered strategically through your fort can minimize [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoko smoko breaks]. The usefulness of this kind of stockpile is often disputed as dwarves go to the fullest barrel first, so if you can't keep your stockpile constantly filled with new full barrels of alcohol your masons might decide to run all the way over to the alcohol stockpile you have setup for your brewers or your metalsmiths. If you can keep each stockpile constantly being filled with fresh supplies of full barrels of alcohol then this can increase productivity greatly. A simple way of doing this is by keeping a brewery near each separate alcohol stockpile, or locking dwarves in so that local stockpile is the only one they can {{L|path}} to.
* Artifact materials: The massive value and effectiveness of {{L|artifact|artifacts}} means the materials used in them can have drastic effects, sometimes even into the ''{{L|Value|millions}}''. Having special stockpiles for high-value metals, stones, gems, and other such materials will make it that much easier to ensure that you will get the most out of each {{L|strange mood}}. (However, even with materials-specific stockpiles, it can take a fair amount of micromanagement to get a moody dwarf to use a specific material.)
* Artifact storage: Artifacts add a great deal to the created wealth of the fortress and the loss of an artifact can result in a very bad {{L|thought}} for the creator. Keep valuable artifacts safe from {{L|thief|thieves}} in a special stockpile.
* Ingredients: Store things that are cookable but not edible, like milk and quarry bush leaves, near kitchens. For that matter, store both fat and tallow near kitchens for efficient rendering.
* Mason's Stone: Since a mason's workshop doesn't let you pick what type of stone to use, use customized stone stockpiles to provide some of that control. On maps with mass {{L|flux}} stone, a small stockpile for flux stone near masons' workshops can boost the values of stone furniture in general.

==Bugs==
* Currently{{version|0.31.25}} there is no stockpile category for finished goods made of gems {{Bug|4430}}
*Any 'metal' in second column have stones, oozes, jewels in third column. Very unexpectedly.

2011-04-11T21:05:15Z

Expedition leader: they do graze

{{quality|Fine|17:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

Pastures are a feature that was released with version 31.19 and are {{L|activity zone}}s that the player creates to hold animals, especially grazing animals. Herbivorous animals now require grass to graze upon, and larger creatures require a greater amount of grass to feed themselves.

Grazing animals use the [GRAZER:<value>] token to signify how much grass they need to eat. This is an inverse number - the value in grazer signifies how much hunger is reduced when eating a unit of grass. A creature with ten times the grazer value needs one tenth the amount of grass (and hence, pasture land) as a creature with a small grazer value.

Animals which graze are typically good livestock candidates, and the larger the creature, the more meat they produce, but the more grass they need to consume.

It is believed that each {{L|time}} unit adds one point to hunger. An animal takes an average of one turn per ten time units, and so a creature of standard speed and agility with [GRAZER:10] would have to eat grass on every single one of its turns just to stave off starvation. Since it takes another turn just to move to the next tile to graze, anything with [GRAZER:20] or less is completely incapable of feeding itself enough grass, even if enough is available. Because of this, the larger creatures like dralthas are virtually impossible to keep fed, and elephants are incapable of feeding themselves fast enough to stave off starvation.

Expedition leader: soaked from the above layer

{{quality|Exceptional|22:18, 10 November 2010 (UTC)}}{{soillookup/0}}{{av}}

'''Clay''' is one of the many types of {{L|soil}} that can be found in Dwarf Fortress. {{L|Aquifer}}s are never present in clay layers.

Clay can be gathered for use in {{L|Ceramic_industry|Ceramics}}.

The gathering and use of clay is done from a {{L|Kiln}} and behaves similar to most material production, but includes elements similar to {{L|glass}} production. In order to gather clay a gathering zone must first be designated, much like with {{L|sand}}, however unlike sand gathering clay creates a Clay object similar to raw stone and does not require a bag. These clay objects are stored in a Stone stockpile, and may be used to construct walls (structures made from clay could be thought of as adobe buildings). As with sand, clay can be gathered indefinitely from a single tile.

Clay can be made into pots, {{L|block|bricks}}, {{L|statue}}s, {{L|hive}}s and {{L|craft}}s. Small pots, called jugs, function similar to bags and waterskins, while large pots are treated like barrels. Creating any object from clay requires a unit of fuel.

Before an {{L|earthenware}} pot (large or small) can hold liquids, it must be '''glazed'''. Glazing is performed at a {{L|kiln}} and requires either a unit of {{L|ash}} or a unit of {{L|cassiterite}} ({{L|tin}} ore), plus a unit of fuel. {{L|Stoneware}} and {{L|porcelain}} pots do not need to be glazed.

'''Wood crafter''' is the skill associated with the '''woodcrafting''' {{L|labor}}. Woodcrafters make {{L|wood}}en {{L|crafts}}, {{L|bolt}}s, {{L|nest box}}es, {{L|jug}}s, {{L|pot}}s and {{L|hive}}s at a {{L|craftsdwarf's workshop}}. As with other crafting skills, higher skill means faster performance and higher {{L|item quality}}.

Because wood has a low material {{L|value}}, and is very useful for other purposes, a woodcrafter is somewhat less useful than a stonecrafter or bone carver. However, if wood is plentiful, then wooden bolts can be a useful supplement to bone for training purposes.

Note that wooden cups, instruments, or toys can only be made using the {{L|job manager}}, as the craftsdwarf's workshop interface does not permit selecting them.
