You can currently read about this topic on the Squads Page.
Outside of standard armor, clothing and weapons, there are only five other equippable or otherwise usable items in Dwarf Fortress.
- Picks allow your dwarves to mine.
- Battle axes allow your dwarves to chop down trees.
- Backpacks allow your dwarves to carry rations.
- Flasks allow your dwarves to carry water and alcohol. (Leather flasks are called waterskins, glass ones are called vials.)
- Quivers allow your dwarves to carry ammunition.
Picks[edit]
A pick is a native weapon that can be forged from most (not silver, for example) weapon-grade metals like copper and iron. Picks are required by miners to strike the earth, carve staircases and everything else related to the removal of rock and soil tiles, with the exception of rock smoothing and engraving. You will need to supply picks on embark as miners won't bring their own. The material used when making a pick doesn't have any effect on its speed at digging through rock, which depends on the user's Mining skill level.
Battle axes[edit]
A battle axe is a native weapon that can be forged from weapon-grade metals like copper and iron. Battle axes are required by wood cutters to fell trees. You will need to supply battle axes on embark as wood cutters won't bring their own. The material used when making a battle axe doesn't have any effect on its wood-cutting performance, with the exception of wooden training axes, which can no longer be used to cut down trees.
Backpacks[edit]
In fortress mode, soldiers who are ordered to carry food (from the military menu) will equip a backpack to carry the rations in it, which saves them from going to a food stockpile whenever they are hungry. This does not mean that they will eat or drink while on duty, it only means that they will save time on their breaks. To prevent extreme hunger and thirst while dwarves are on an active schedule, you must lower the amount of soldiers required for a scheduled task, so that they can be free to eat and drink.
Note that inactive squads will still carry food in their backpacks, and will eat it as civilians when hungry. You may wish to disable this, as while eating their rations saves on travel time, the dwarf will not receive any happy thoughts about their dining area.
Backpacks can be sewn from leather at the leather works or adamantine cloth at a forge.
In adventurer mode, a backpack is required if you want to carry more than you can hold in your hands. Any items taken from the ground will be automatically placed in the first backpack worn (unless a quiver is worn, which receives any arrow or bolt) with no limit to amount or weight. A backpack can be filled with the g command up to limits too bizarre to be deciphered — just fill it by taking from the ground, okay?
Flasks[edit]
In fortress mode, soldiers who are ordered to carry a drink (from the military menu) will equip a flask (or waterskin or vial) to carry the drink in. Due to a bug, dwarves will occasionally choose vials which contain extracts to use as a flask; somehow combining dwarven wine with giant desert scorpion venom is completely safe.Bug:3116
In adventurer mode, a flask can be used to carry liquids.
Quivers[edit]
A quiver is an item used to store bolts or arrows. It is worn on the body, like a backpack.
Dwarves require a quiver to hold their ammo whenever engaging in any kind of shooting. Therefore, you'll need at least one quiver for each hunter and each marksdwarf in your military.
Quivers are made of leather at a leather works or adamantine cloth at a forge. Invaders, merchants, and migrants often have silk and cloth quivers. They are stored in finished goods stockpiles.
In adventurer mode, arrows and bolts picked up from the ground will automatically be placed in a free grasp, or if no grasp is empty, in the first quiver worn, even if the quiver is full. If filled with the put command, it can hold up to a volume of 12,000 cm³. For example: a quiver can hold 80 various bolts and arrows, but fewer larger items.
