+ | The '''gem industry''' deals with the processing of [[gem]]s. Like other [[Industry|industries]], it creates raw materials, [[finished goods]], and can be used to enhance finished goods with [[decoration]]s. Because of a near-infinite supply of [[glass]] pseudo-gems, the gem industry may be closely tied to the [[glass industry]] for training. | ||

[[Gem cutting]] is a [[job]] at the jeweler's workshop; you can choose which type of gem to cut based on what ''rough gems'' you have available. Cutting consumes a rough gem and may produce a ''cut gem'', ''large gem'', or ''gem craft''. By far the most common result is a cut gem, which may be used for encrusting other objects (see [[#Gem_Setting|Gem Setting]], below). Large gems and gem crafts are [[finished goods]] and occur less often; gem crafts are rarer than large gems. The gem cutter's skill level does not affect the chances of producing a large gem or gem craft, but it does affect the [[quality]] of those goods. | [[Gem cutting]] is a [[job]] at the jeweler's workshop; you can choose which type of gem to cut based on what ''rough gems'' you have available.

They have a base value of 10, which is multiplied by the value of the gem (2-60) and the quality level (120); a perfect gem will always receive one free decoration, which effectively doubles the value. A perfect gem is thus worth 4,800-144,000☼. A perfect gem acts similarly to a large gem, such that it can only be used for boosting fortress value and trading (It cannot be used to encrust furniture, finished goods, etc.). Perfect gems cannot be created on purpose, but keeping a stockpile of high-value gems adjacent to the jeweler's workshop might increase the chance of a moody dwarf choosing one of them. [[Forbid]]ding low-value gems is also an option. |

[[Gem setting]] is a [[job]] at the jeweler's workshop, and takes a ''cut gem'' to [[decoration|encrust]] [[furniture]], [[ammo]], and [[finished goods]]. You can specify the type of object the dwarf will encrust, but not the specific object. To encrust a specific piece of equipment with a specific gem requires careful use of linked [[stockpiles]]. | [[Gem setting]] is a [[job]] at the jeweler's workshop, and takes a ''cut gem'' to [[decoration|encrust]] [[furniture]], [[ammo]], and [[finished goods]].

A given item may possess multiple decorations (but only one using each type of gem), and encrusting items with gems can increase the wealth of a fortress substantially. |
