Your fortress's total Created Wealth is visible on the z - Template:L screen once you have a Template:L with at least novice Template:L Template:L (though your bookkeeper still needs to do quite a bit of work to achieve and maintain exact figures). All objects with any value (including mined-out areas, Template:Ls, engravings and every kind of created good) will be included in the total. Template:L are usually one of the largest influences of fortress wealth. Artifacts made of precious resources and heavily Template:L can easily be worth thrice the value of your fortress in the early years.
Items made off-site are not counted in your total fortress wealth. Their value is listed under Imported Wealth. Items made on-site, but later Template:L, are immediately subtracted from your Created Wealth, and transfers to Exported Wealth once the trading party successfully leaves.
While Template:Ls can be quite valuable and it's to a much lesser extent possible to amass wealth from booze, unless forbidden, these items tend to get consumed by your gluttonous dwarves at an alarming rate, reducing your wealth. Among other factors, the value of a meal makes it more desirable, too. This loss is to be expected, and on the plus side quality food does provide a source of Template:L.
Wealth influences or triggers various game features, such as Template:L Template:Ls, the arrival of Template:Ls and megabeasts, the number, and probably time of arrival, of Template:L.
Building fortress wealth
Good ways to building wealth include:
- Checking for promising Template:L when selecting your Template:L.
- Searching for and using valuable Template:Ls (e.g. gold, aluminium, or platinum) early on
- Choosing proficient dwarves on Template:L; experienced dwarves work faster, and make higher quality goods.
- Using more valuable, but still abundant stone (e.g. Template:L or Template:L) for "everyday items"
- Smoothing and detailing walls
- Check Template:L for clues on what items are valuable and how processing boosts wealth
- Build a Template:L Template:L industry
- Template:Ling/decorating objects with highly skilled craftdwarves
- decorating specifically imported objects and goblin loot; those will be substracted from the import figure and added to their respective division of your created wealth
- Assisting dwarves in strange moods, especially leaving high value gems, giant cave spider silk, and adamantine/aluminum/platinum for decorations nearby
- Note: It is technically possible to have your wealth go high enough to loop back to an extremely low number (-2 billion or so) because it simply hit the highest value the game-counter could go and passed it. This maximum value is extremely high, and so it is unlikely to cause a problem unless you heavily Template:L the game code or files in that direction.
