This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Chalk is a flux stone found in the sedimentary layer. As such, it is worth twice as much as most other stones. Despite chalk's rather chalky nature in real life, furniture and crafts made out of chalk in Dwarf Fortress last as long as granite ones. Chalk is not a magma-safe material.

In Real Life[edit]

Chalk, a soft white sedimentary rock, is a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. It often contains chert and minor amounts of silt and clay.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Unlike in real life, dwarves and other creatures cannot use chalk for writing or drawing.
