'''Slurry''' is a material used in [[paper industry|paper making]]. Slurry is created at a [[mill]] or [[quern]] from cloth [[plant fiber|plants]] and pressed into [[paper]] at a [[screw press]]. This also creates [[seed]]s.<br />
<br />
The labor associated with making slurries is [[papermaking]], under crafts - ''not'' milling, as one might expect from the building.<br />
<br />
Slurry is considered to be a [[glob]] in the [[Stocks]] menu.<br />
<br />
Oddly enough, despite not being food, slurries are stored in the food stockpile as a paste.<br />
<br />
Here is a workflow for making plant slurry:<br />
<br />
* Build stoneworker's workshop (Building > Workshops > Stoneworker)<br />
<br />
* Produce stone quern using stoneworkers workshop (input: stone)<br />
<br />
* Build quern (Building > Workshop > Farming > Quern)<br />
<br />
* Add plant stockpile near your quern.<br />
<br />
* Have your dwarves gather plants.<br />
<br />
* Set a work order for your quern to produce 'slurry' if fewer than 10 'globs' exist. Specify "Adj" to be 'paper-slurry items. (input: plants) (Note: You need a dwarf with the 'Manager' role and an office assigned to use work orders. You can do that from Citizens > Nobles and Administrators)<br />

== Types of Slurry ==<br />
<br />
The following plants can be turned into slurry:<br />
* [[Cotton]]<br />
* [[Flax]]<br />
* [[Hemp]]<br />
* [[Jute]] <br />
* [[Kenaf]] <br />
* [[Pig tail]]<br />
* [[Ramie]]<br />
* [[Rope reed]]<br />
<br />
== Technical info ==<br />
<br />
Slurry is the {{token|SOLID_PASTE|md}} state of [[plant fiber]] and its {{token|SOLID_PRESSED}} state is the [[paper]] itself. The structural material has <code>[MATERIAL_REACTION_PRODUCT:PRESS_PAPER_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:THREAD]</code> to tell the milling [[reaction]] to have slurry as the [[Reaction#Material reaction product|product]], and the slurry has [[Reaction#Reaction classes and products|class]] <code>[REACTION_CLASS:PAPER_SLURRY]</code> to turn the [[glob]] into paper of the same material.<br />
<br />
== Bugs ==<br />
<br />
* Slurry stored on the floor in food stockpile (not in a barrel/pot) will trigger a Clean job, resulting in the glob being destroyed.{{bug|9884}} As a work-around, one can use the custom stockpile feature to disable paste from being stored in food stockpiles, and the slurry will remain safely in the quern/millstone until need at a screw press.<br />
