[[File:metal_bars_preview.png|right]]A '''bar''' (also known as an "ingot") is a sub-type of building material (interchangeable with a [[block]] for that purpose), and is the base individual unit of [[metal]], [[charcoal]], [[coke]], [[potash]], [[ash]], [[pearlash]], and [[soap]].  All [[metal]]s are created as bars at a [[smelter]], whether processed from [[ore]]s, [[alloy]]ed with other metals, or [[melt]]ed down from existing metal items.

With the exception of non-[[fire-safe]] materials, all bars are as durable as others - a wall made from bars of ash, charcoal or soap will last as long as one made from bars of [[steel]]. Bars are a storage unit and not an end product in and of themselves, being used for various other tasks:

{| class="wikitable"
! Bar !! Used for
|-
| [[ash]] || making [[lye]] or [[potash]]
|-
| [[fuel|charcoal<br />or coke]]|| powering standard [[forge]]s, [[smelter]]s, [[kiln]]s, and [[glass furnace]]s,<br />and making [[pig iron]] and [[steel]]
|-
| [[metal]] || [[blacksmith|smithing]] 
|-
| [[pearlash]] || making clear or crystal [[glass]]
|-
| [[potash]] || [[potash|fertilizing]] [[farming|farm]]s or making [[pearlash]]
|-
| [[soap]] || [[health care]] and [[cleaning|cleaning self]]
|-
|}

All bars are 600 cm<sup>3</sup> in [[size]], which means up to 10 will fit into a [[Container#Quick_Reference|6000-capacity bin]]. The only exception to this 600 cm<sup>3</sup> size are possibly partially-used soap bars. In the real world, a [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/Gold_bullion_2.jpg 400-tr.oz. bar of gold] is approximately the same size, at 645 cm<sup>3</sup>.

All types of bars can also be used to build [[workshop]]s, [[road]]s, [[bridge]]s, and other [[construction]]s. Different bars require different [[labor]]s in their construction: [[blacksmith|smithing]] is used for metal bars and [[mason]]ry for all others (including bars of soap).

"Bars" of [[adamantine]] metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars.

; Notes:
: 1) '''Billon''' can be made with [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]] ore (instead of [[silver]] bars) for increased value: (Copper ore + Tetrahedrite: +3.5; Tetrahedrite + Tetrahedrite: +3; Copper ore + Galena: + 2.5; Tetrahedrite + Galena: + 2). 

: 2) '''Electrum''' can be made with [[tetrahedrite]] or [[galena]] ore (instead of [[silver]] bars) for increased value: (Gold + Tetrahedrite: +3.5; Gold + Galena: +2.5).
