| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Dwarf Fortress uses its own temperature scale in most cases. So if you see something like [HOMEOTHERM:10067], don't be amazed.
Conversion[edit]
[DF scale] = [FAHRENHEIT] + 9968
[DF scale] = [CELSIUS] * 9/5 + 10000
[DF scale] = [KELVIN] * 9/5 + 9508.33
[DF scale] = [RANKINE] + 9508.33
Temperatures[edit]
Materials listed melt at the given temperature, and boil at the other given temperature. Materials not listed use a default melting point[Verify]. Creatures listed have the given temperature as their body temperature.
