This page contains some additional details on customizing and optimizing your '''[[stockpile]]s''' using detailed stockpile settings. This isn't absolutely required, so to keep things simple it isn't included in the [[Quickstart guide|main guide]].

After you have things going pretty well, you may want to follow the advice on this page to make your [[food]], [[alcohol|booze]] and [[seed]] stockpiles more efficient.

=Changing Stockpile Settings=
[[File:Quickstart-custom-stockpile.png|right|thumb|At a minimum keep corpses, refuse, stone and wood out of any "general use" stockpiles. Try to remember to disable/forbid types of things on general use stockpiles as you create more specific stockpiles for things.]]
After you have defined a stockpile, you can change what sort of items the stockpile accepts. To do this:
#Hit {{K|q}} (Set Building Tasks/Prefs)
#Place the cursor on the stockpile you want to change
#Press {{K|s}} to get to the stockpile settings.

=Stockpile for Seeds Only=
Dig out a nook (2x2 is fine) near your farm plot(s) and create a custom stockpile that only accepts seeds. The easiest way to do this is to create a {{K|f}}ood stockpile in the nook, then exit the stockpile menu and hit {{K|q}}. Place the cursor on the stockpile, hit {{K|s}}, select Food, hit {{K|b}} for "block all", then move to Food->Seeds and hit {{K|p}} to permit seeds.

You will need to go disable seeds on any stockpiles that accept food in order to force seeds to be moved to the new seed stockpile.

Keeping all your seeds stockpiled near your farm will let your farming dwarves spend more time farming and less time hauling seeds around.

=Dining Area Stockpiles=
[[File:Quickstart-level-6-dining.png|right|thumb|Level -6: Dining level with dining hall, kitchen, still, and storage area.]]
This will give you some help optimizing stockpiles for your dining and food production areas. You should have:
*A stockpile around your [[still]]
*A stockpile around your [[kitchen]]
*A general food storage stockpile in a food storage room

For the '''still stockpile''', customize the stockpile as follows:
*'''{{K|e}}nable Food and Furniture''' - select each one and hit {{K|e}} for enable.
*'''{{K|d}}isable other top-level categories'''
*'''{{K|f}}orbid all subtypes of Food except Plants''' - You can also select Food, hit {{K|b}} for Block All, then move to Food->Plants and press {{K|p}} for Permit.
*'''Forbid all subtypes of furniture except''' Furniture->Type->barrels and Furniture->Type->Large Pots/Food Storage (The latter of which is at the bottom of the list. Keep scrolling down.)
*'''Make sure "prepared food" is turned off for this storage area''' - select Food and press {{K|u}} (see lower right where it says {{DFtext|u: Prepared Food}})
*Now hit {{K|Esc}} to exit the custom settings.

For the '''kitchen stockpile''', use the same commands but:
*'''Enable Food'''
*'''Disable other top-level categories''' if they aren't already disabled.
*'''Disable Prepared food''' - go to Food and press {{K|u}}.
*'''Forbid Plants''' - select Food->Plants and press {{K|f}} for Forbid. (You want your brewers to get first shot at the plants so keep them away from the kitchen and close to the still.)
*'''Forbid Seeds''' - as with plants, select Food->Seeds and hit {{K|f}}.

'''For the main food storage room''', enable only Food and forbid Seeds. Leave prepared food and other food types as permitted.

'''For your custom general use stockpile''' (the one on the ground floor) use {{K|q}} to change the {{K|s}}ettings to {{K|d}}isable Food and also forbid (under Furniture->Type) barrels and large pots. This will cause these things to get moved to your new stockpiles.

This way your still will have easy access to the plants needed to create alcohol, your kitchen will be near the ingredients used in creating meals, and your food storage room will keep the ready-to-eat food near the dining hall.

Milifilou: Just a regular dwarfy user

New user, new player.
I have been playing DF for only a short while now, but my favorite way of playing is modless newest version.
Getting into the wiki to cause I really like the quickstart guides, but I think they could be improved.

Milifilou: /* Accessing this subpage */ new section

{{newpage|type=cp|207.86.123.180}}

== Accessing this subpage ==

I find this sub-page fairly useful, but searching for it in the quickstart-guide page is tedious at the moment. I think this page should be listed in the "Getting Started" Category just like /Starting site. It also definitely belongs in the "Quickstart guides" category

The '''Dwarf Multiplier''' is a [[stone layer|game mechanic]] in which the number of [[Dwarf|dwarves]] you have in your fortress population proportionally correlates to the effectiveness of your fortress. The Dwarf Multiplier is a hidden stat which can only be read through an .exe decompiler; however, its effects can be seen in normal gameplay with careful observation. It is a global multiplier on a variety of automated processes including brewing, mining, crafting, slaughtering, and training.

==Plan==
This page is an excellent plan. The only way to be happier with this page, is if it were a terrible plan. Terrible plans are always more [[Fun]]

==Metamorphic layers==

The following types of metamorphic stone form layers:

{{Layerlookup/layers|METAMORPHIC}}

==Stone found in metamorphic layers==

The following types of stone are found in formations within metamorphic layers:

{{Layerlookup/stones|METAMORPHIC}}

==Gems found in metamorphic layers==

Metamorphic layers may yield the following types of gem:

{{Layerlookup/gems|METAMORPHIC}}
