40d:Stocks

2008-05-08T22:25:04Z

Metalax: /* Inventory */ added the other colour codes for stocks list

The '''Stocks''' screen, accessible via the '''[[Status]]''' screen, is a careful record of your fort's entire inventory. It is managed by the [[bookkeeper]], who periodically must update the [[stockpile]] records, depending on how quickly your fort's [[wealth]] is growing or being depleted.

==Layout==

The Stocks screen displays a list of product categories on the left side. Next to those categories is the total number of objects you have that fit within that category, listed first as the total number available, and then as the total number used in buildings.

[[Image:Jt_stocks_screen.png|800px]]

==Precision==

The precision of the Stocks screen depends on the settings of the bookkeeper [[noble]]. There are five possible settings:

; Lowest Precision
: This setting is precise only to one significant figure.
:*Any number from 0 to 9 will be exact.
:*A number from 10 to 99 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
:*A number from 100 to 999 will be rounded to the nearest 100.
:*A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 1,000.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 10,000.

; Low Precision
: This setting is precise up to two significant figures.
:*Any number from 0 to 99 will be exact.
:*A number from 100 to 999 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
:*A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 100.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 1,000.

; Medium Precision
: This setting is precise up to three significant figures. This is a good and practical level to maintain stockpile records at for a decent-sized fort. You will rarely be concerned with exact figures for more than 1,000 commodities at a time.
:*Any number from 0 to 999 will be exact.
:*A number from 1,000 to 9,999 will be rounded to the nearest 10.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 100.

; High Precision
: This setting is precise up to four significant figures. This setting is extremely precise and can be useful for very massive fortresses or compulsive perfectionists.
:*Any number from 0 to 9,999 will be exact.
:*A number equal to 10,000 or more will be rounded to the nearest 10.

; Highest Precision
: This setting is totally precise. All stockpile records will be exact. Maintaining stockpile records at this level is a full-time job and is recommended only if you have a dedicated bookkeeper.

If a number has been rounded, it will appear with a trailing question mark and will be displayed in brown ink instead of light grey. For instance, "20?" instead of "17".

==Inventory==

If you have a sufficient level of precision to count each and every item in the given category, you will see an inventory display on the right side of the screen. If you do not have enough precision, the right side of the screen will be blank.

This inventory display has two modes. The first mode is a compacted view which lists objects by type and total number. It is handy to get a general idea of the number of goods you have available. The second mode is an exact view which lists each unique object or stack of objects in your fort. This display is useful for selecting individual items to [[forbid]], [[melt]] or [[dump]]. To toggle between either of the two modes, press {{key|Tab}}.

In the exact mode, the items text is colour coded.

{| style="border-spacing: 0"
|-
! Colour
! represents
|-
|brown||produced in fort
|-
|grey||imported to fort
|-
|dark cyan||part of a [[building]]
|-
|dark purple||part of a [[construction]], forbidden or designated for dump/melt
|-
|dark red||not owned by fort
|}

40d:Item value

2008-05-08T22:03:26Z

Metalax: added to Category:Items

Value is determined by the base value of the object with multipliers for the material it is made out of, the [[quality]] of its creation, and any [[decoration]]s on it.

==Base values of items==
The base value of an item is found from what the item '''is''', not what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the base value for a block, not the one for 'wooden'. A wood log uses the base value for raw material.
{| style="border-spacing: 0"

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Cloth has an additional modifier of +20, finished goods made from cloth have a modifier of +40

==Material multipliers==
The material multiplier of an item is found from what it is made out of. For example, a wood block uses the same multiplier as a log or chest - that for wood. Oddly, burned wood is no longer considered wooden, but has other modifiers.

<nowiki>**</nowiki> '''giant''' cave spider silk has an multiplier of 10, applied after base value, quality and addition of 40. Example: Wellcrafted giant cave spider silk robe (2*10*2+40)*10=800☼

== Quality ==
Item value is further increased by applying the [[Quality|quality]] modifier.

{|
! style="padding-right: 35px;" | '''Designation''' || style="text-align: left;" | '''Description''' || style="padding-right: 20px; padding-left: 15px; text-align: center;" | '''Value Modifier''' ||

|-
| ≡Item Name≡ || Exceptional || style="text-align: center;" | ×5  ||
|-
| ☼Item Name☼ || Masterful || style="text-align: center;" | ×12  ||
|}

==Decorations==

Your craftsdwarves can add [[decoration|decorations]] to your objects. This increases their value. The base value of a decoration is 10. This is multiplied with the material the decoration is made of and the [[quality]] of the decoration, and added to the value of the item. For example, a gold stud would be worth 10 (base value for the decoration) times 30 (material multiplier for gold) =300☼. A finely crafted gold stud would be 3*10*30=900☼.

== Dyeing ==
Value gained by dyeing is added, like that of decorations. Only thread, cloth and its products can be dyed. Details see [[Dye]].

==Examples==

Metalax:

As far as I recall rotting creatures leave skulls too... Article says only about butchering. --[[User:Someone-else|Someone-else]] 06:25, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
:The article states that skulls are obtained from corpses, as well as butchering(which I take here to mean slaughtering livestock). This could be rewritten to make it clearer.--[[User:Metalax|Metalax]] 08:42, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

40d Talk:Farm plot

2008-05-06T12:35:02Z

Metalax:

==Equipment==
I forgot to designate a farmer(plot) at the prepare screen. I added the task to my fisherdwarf, there is no free water on the map so he cannot fish anyway, but he refuses to farm (even though he created a plot).

Should he need any eqiupment which I don't have due to my oversight?

Thanks[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 05:48, 8 January 2008 (EST)

:<s>AFAIK, you need *some* skill level to build a related building. Meaning grower is one of those skills you need atleast a single skill point in to use. Best bet is to either survive on hunting and herbalism, or restart. --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 07:12, 8 January 2008 (EST)</s>

::The plot is ''built'' - but they refuse to plant it. Having looked at [[soil]] - is that because it is ''sandy loam''? It isn't on the list at that article. Maybe it's time I learned how to [[irrigate]]?[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 07:30, 8 January 2008 (EST)

:::If you built the plot, then it should be farmable. You have seeds and have told that plot to use those seeds, right? If so, I don't know why the fisher's not farming. Will other dwarfs farm with the labor on? --[[User:N9103|Edward]] 20:17, 8 January 2008 (EST)

:: you do not need any level of skill to build anything edward, just need to turn on that job type. [[User:Chariot|Chariot]] 22:02, 8 January 2008 (EST)

==Suggested size==
Anyone got a better estimate than "25 squares will get an undefined number of dwarves through one winter"? On that note, do dwarves eat more during winter? --[[User:Juckto|Juckto]] 06:44, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
:A 25 square plot growing plump helmets can easily provide food and beer indefinitely for 40-50 dwarves with a low skill dedicated grower. A high skill dedicated grower can easily support 80-100 dwarves. Only thing to be careful of would be the grower going on break, but placing a second or third grower should enable you too support a fort without worry. All previous testing seems to indicate that dwarves do not eat more during winter.--[[User:Metalax|Metalax]] 08:35, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

40d:Boot

2008-05-06T03:30:45Z

Metalax: HB provide protection for lower leg.

A '''boot''' is a type of [[clothing|shoe]] that dwarves wear on their feet. They come in low boot or high boot varieties. Lightweight boots can be made of [[leather]] at the [[leather works]] for everyday wear, or can be made from various types of [[metal]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]] into chain and plate [[armor]] for the feet. High boots provide protection for the lower leg as well as the foot.

[[Category:Clothing]]

40d:Wear

2008-05-04T08:47:57Z

Metalax: multiple small changes and additions

Many items are subject to wear/rotting/withering if stored '''outside'''.

There are three levels of wear, which are signified by, in order of increasing wear, x, X and XX bracketing the item. Viewing will give an account of how badly worn(with some wear...mangled) the item is. Item value is significantly effected by the level of wear.

Most items are ''not'' subject to wear when stored in stockpiles, inside, notably prepared meals, [[Alcohol|drinks]] and [[plants]]. Some items, in particular plants and cooked meals, will still rot when lying around outside of stockpiles, in workshops, or, worse, in water.

Storage in barrels will delay wear both in and out of stockpiles.

Some [[food]], specifically uncooked [[meat]], [[fish]], and [[clothes]] are still subject to '''wear''' when stored in stockpiles. Wear of barrelled meat or fish will set in roughly 2 seasons after butchering or arriving at the area with traders, increasing by roughly one level per season. Raw fish will instead rot.

Mangled food can still be cooked, seemingly without quality loss, although the value of the prepared food will be calculated using the reduced value of the ingredients.

The remains of vermin, as well as corpses and chunks, will rot both inside and outside, more importantly they will cause [[miasma]] inside. It is therefore necessary to keep an eye on tidying up and either have refuse stockpiles outside or well separated from the rest of your fortress if inside.

Clothing will wear over a period of years as it is being worn by a creature. Currently{{v|0.27.176.38c}} no unhappy thoughts result from this wear.

Wear can be caused by heavy traffic over the location an item is stored.

40d:Sheriff

2008-05-04T04:04:07Z

Metalax: indicated that sheriff will still perform job if drafted.

{{Noble
| noble=Sheriff
| quarters=Modest [[Bedroom|Quarters]]
| dining=Modest [[Dining Room]]
| office=Modest [[Office]]
| stands=1
| racks=1
| chests=1
| cabinets=1
| arrival=
* 20 population
| function=
* [[Justice]]
}}
The position of '''sheriff''' opens once the population of your fortress reaches 20. The sheriff will subdue and imprison lawbreaking dwarves. Without a [[jail]], the sheriff will have no choice but to issue summary [[justice]] in the form of a beating. The sheriff will still perform justice jobs if [[Military|drafted]] to the military.

When your fortress reaches 50 dwarves, the sheriff will be promoted to [[Captain of the guard]].

Sheriff can be designated through the [[nobles screen]].

Metalax: some testing of values

Been experimenting with this

db 09000 0, db 29000 0, db 49000 0, db 69000 0, db 89000 0, db a9000 0, db c9000 0, db e9000 0

All give the same tile a rough, dark, inside, subterranean obsidian wall. All save db 09000 0 were found naturally occurring in the map.
The patten of numbers continues up ie, db 109000 0 db, 129000 0 etc.

The same values were found and worked on various z levels, and could all be found naturally on different z levels that contained obsidian.

Further testing gives: db 19000 0 ,db 39000 0, db 59000 0, makes the tile rough, dark, outside, subterranean obsidian wall
This continues up in a similar pattern to that above.

Smoothing changes only the first value, only checked a few dozen tiles but I had values from 133 to 145. 144 seemed to be an extremely common value though this may be due to tiles altered during the previous bout of testing.

Damp/warm states don't seem to be included in these values as damp/warm tiles were changed in material without affecting their state. Existing damp/warm tiles held the same values as those found elsewhere.

40d Talk:Building designer

Metalax:

Do we know how much the skill of the designer and the constructor affect the quality of the building? Does it just average out, or does the materials involved skew the results?--[[User:Xazak|Xazak]] 17:39, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Both are listed seperately when the structure is selected on the rooms list. Need to check if there are seperate happy thoughts for high quality design and high quality construction.--[[User:Metalax|Metalax]] 02:11, 11 November 2007 (EST)

40d:Floor

2007-11-04T21:50:09Z

Metalax: floors do not currently make tiles below them dark.

A '''floor''' is a tile state that creatures can walk on. A floor is either formed naturally by the ground, by constructing walls (thus creating a floor on the level above) or by building a floor. Floors can be built on natural floors; this distinction is subtle but allows for 'paving'. Constructed floors count as [[construction]]s and cannot have [[wall]]s built upon them. Floors enclose spaces making the tile below them [[inside]].

== Construction ==

Floors must be built up tile by tile. There is no way to build more than one at a time. {{ver|0.27.169.33a}}
== Destuction ==
Use caution when deconstructing floors as the dwarves will stand on them while removing them. This causes them to fall through to the next level down when they finish which can be quite dangerous.
If the floors created by the construction of a [[wall]] on a lower level are removed than the dwarf removing them will be stuck floating in the air until they are rebuilt. {{ver|0.27.169.33a}}
