− | + | '''Statues''' are decorative buildings which can be built from the {{k|b}}uild {{k|f}}urniture menu under stat{{k|u}}e. They can be created from one [[stone]] at the [[mason's workshop]], 3 [[metal]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]], [[sand]] or [[rock crystal]]s at a [[glass furnace]], or [[clay]] at a [[kiln]]. Graphically, statues will display as a grayscale sprite representing the subject, if it is a single-sprite creature, or a cube if it is any other type of subject. The color will match that of the material used to craft it. | |
Statues, like [[engraving]]s, depict people, places, things and events drawn from the game's generated history. Unlike engravings they do not display random geometric shapes, such as diamonds. Statues will often depict creatures that the artisan [[preferences|likes or loathes]], or other dwarves surrounded by the creatures they like or loathe. | Statues, like [[engraving]]s, depict people, places, things and events drawn from the game's generated history.

A killed [[iron man]] or [[bronze colossus]] will transform into a masterwork statue upon death (made of [[iron]] or [[bronze]] respectively). The image is randomly generated upon creation, so it probably won't be a statue depicting the actual creature. | A killed [[iron man]] or [[bronze colossus]] will transform into a masterwork statue upon death (made of [[iron]] or [[bronze]] respectively).

You can specify the creature to be used by inspecting the job. Only images of single-sprite creatures will by shown in statuary. Creatures assembled from multiple sprites such as [[demon]]s, [[forgotten beast]]s, or [[experiment]]s will display as the default cube. Plants, items, objects, or any other category of subject will also display as a cube. Dwarves, humans, elves, goblins, and kobolds each use a single sprite-- individual clothing and features will not be reflected in statues. These limitations aside, there are 778 (!) different creature sprites to choose from: megabeasts, animal people, and the incredible variety of animals and monsters in the game are all available to decorate your halls. |

Dwarves, left to their own devices, will generally make statues of sentient races and their own limited pool of preferred creatures. Most available sprites will require you to specify an image to ever appear in the game. While somewhat tedious, this is among the best ways to personalize your fort. | Dwarves, left to their own devices, will generally make statues of sentient races and their own limited pool of preferred creatures.

To specify an image, create a statue job, then inspect details (magnifying glass) -> Specify image -> Specify a new image -> Creature. You can queue up multiples of the same image via [[work order]]. For rock statues, you may select the stone as well, allowing control of the statue's color. Note that clay and [[porcelain]] statues currently do not allow image specification. | To specify an image, create a statue job, then inspect details (magnifying glass) -> Specify image -> Specify a new image -> Creature.
