− | Soap is | + | '''Soap''' is a particularly useful type of [[bar]] used for [[clean self|personal cleaning]], which increases happiness ("recently took a soapy bath") and lowers the chances of an [[Health care|infection]] in case they are [[wound]]ed, and for cleaning [[wound]]s in [[hospital]]s, preventing infections from developing. It is thus a vital commodity in dwarven [[health care]], and one not traded in [[caravan]]s: you're going to have to make some soap yourself. Since soap is considered to be a [[bar]], it can be used to make [[constructions]] and [[workshop]]s. |

Soap is made of two components, [[lye]] and [[fat]] (either [[tallow]] or [[oil]]), and requires a dedicated workshop, the [[soap maker's workshop]]. It has a somewhat complicated production process; lye must be produced at an [[ashery]] from [[ash]], which in turn must be created at a [[wood furnace]] from [[wood]] logs that must first be [[woodcutting|cut down]]. [[Tallow]] is rendered from the [[fat]] from butchered [[creature|animal]]s at a [[kitchen]], requiring either [[Meat industry|livestock]] or [[hunting]] activities, while oil must be [[pressing|pressed]] from [[seed]]s or [[rock nut]]s at a [[screw press]], which first requires [[plant gathering|gathering]] or [[farming|growing]] [[crop]]s and then processing them at the [[farmer's workshop]]. One unit of tallow or oil plus one of lye creates a single bar of finished soap. | Soap is made of two components, [[lye]] and [[fat]] (either [[tallow]] or [[oil]]), and requires a dedicated workshop, the [[soap maker's workshop]].

+ | Dwarves do not require soap to clean [[contaminant]]s such as mud and blood from themselves - if necessary, they will use [[murky pool]]s, artificial pools of water, brooks, or a [[well]]. However, using soap will often generate the happy [[thought]] "recently took a soapy bath". It is possible to construct bath-houses (rooms containing pools of water, a soap stockpile, and perhaps a few nice statues) so dwarves living deep underground need not venture to dangerous cave pools or surface brooks to clean off a little mud or some bloodstains. For cleaning wounds and preventing infection after [[surgery]], however, [[hospital]]s should be kept stocked with a small amount of soap. Soap will get used up as dwarves wash themselves; the current rate seems to be 1/10th of a bar per washing, so each bar lasts quite a while. | ||
− | + | Dwarves have an internal "dirtiness" level, which slowly builds up over time, gets lowered when they have a bath, and lowered further when they have a soapy bath. This "dirtiness" value is connected to the chance of getting an infection if the dwarf is injured, making soap useful as a preventative as well as treatment. | |
− | + | Soap is stored in bar/block stockpiles with the "soap" option enabled. | |

− | + | A convenient way to keep an emergency stockpile of soap is to use it as a building material for workshops or constructions such as walls. When/if you need more soap, you can deconstruct and get the soap bars back. Since soap in a hospital is reserved for hospital use, this is especially useful in case you start to produce soap before setting up a hospital. | |
