− | + | '''Barrels''' are storage units that, like [[bins]] and [[bags]], conserve stockpile space by containing 10 items of the same type (for exceptions, see the ''Mix Food'' and ''Storage Quirk'' sections). They can be made out of [[wood]] or [[metal]]. Making a barrel from wood requires one [[log]], and making a barrel from metal requires three [[bar|bars]] of the same type. | |

If the "Mix Food" toggle is on (from the {{k|o}}rders menu - default is on), then dwarves will store similar food into the same barrel, resulting in "Plant Barrel", "Meat Barrel", etc. Turning off this toggle will force the dwarves to store food more explicitly ("Plump Helmet Barrel", etc.), demanding more barrels. Turning off "Mix Food" is primarily useful if you have [[stockpile]]s that specialize based on plant type; for instance, a [[pig tail]] stockpile near the weaver, a [[cave wheat]] stockpile near the mill, etc. | If the "Mix Food" toggle is on (from the {{k|o}}rders menu - default is on), then dwarves will store similar food into the same barrel, resulting in "Plant Barrel", "Meat Barrel", etc. Turning off this toggle will force the dwarves to store food more explicitly ("Plump Helmet Barrel", etc.), demanding more barrels.

− | + | Each barrel normally has a capacity of 10 items. Exceptions are [[alcohol]], where a barrel stores as much as can be squeezed in from a single plant stack, [[seed]]s, which can be stored in bags which in turn are stored in barrels, and [[milk]] and [[lye]], which can hold up to 100 units. If you have a stack of more than 10 items (typically [[prepared meal]]s), it will not be stored in a barrel. | |

+ | ==Apperances== | ||
+ | Dwarven barrels are not rounded boards held together with metal hoops like a typical human barrel. Instead when a dwarf wishes to make a barrel he selects a large log and hollows out the inside. He also makes sure to carve handles on either side. Finally, with the excess wood he makes a top for it, turning the log into a large stein. This is why dwarves never use goblets or mugs, as to drink they just lift the dwarven "barrel" up. The top pops open and the booze rushes down the eager dwarf's throat. | ||
