v50.14 · v0.47.05 This article is about the current version of DF.Note that some content may still need to be updated. |
An item is any object that is tangible, easily movable, and not a creature. Items can include boulders, buckets, furniture, weapons, crafts, and other similar or even completely different objects. Most items can be stored in stockpiles via hauling, and a subset can additionally be stored in various containers, such as bags, bins, or barrels. Containers are, themselves, also items.
All items have a value, item type, material, and volume. From these, the weight of the item can be determined. Some items additionally have a quality. Many items can participate in reactions, and all but the raw materials and some animal extracts are the product of a reaction.
An item can be stored on the ground, in a creature's inventory, in a container, in a workshop, cabinet, or chest, or even as a building material for buildings and even constructions. Because of the wide variety of items and applications, there are varied ways to destroy items: waiting for rot, consuming them (either through ingestion or through a reaction), wearing them out, burning them, moving them off-screen, dropping them into a bottomless pit or magma flow, crushing them in a cave-in, or using a dwarven atom smasher.
Named items[edit]
- See also: Legendary artifact
An item that is named in either fortress mode or adventure mode can arise from four circumstances: being created as a legendary artifact, being named for a notable kill list, being chosen as a symbol of office (which makes them a named object), or when created as written content. In fortress mode, named items will be listed their respective tabs in the Objects menu 
O.
Fortress mode[edit]
Items can be viewed in fortress mode from the look screen. They will, most of the time, be displayed in brown (yellow when highlighted as the currently active item). When selected, Enter can be used to view a brief description of the item, one that includes the weight, contents (if any), and name of an item. From there, v can be used to obtain a detailed description of the item written in prose; this information includes the item type, any decorations, and other information.
Caravans will haul their purchases away, and thieves will attempt to escape with stolen items. All creatures will leave the screen with all items in their possession, including weapons and ammo lodged in their wounds. Using fluids or dumping into the pits deep down are the only other methods of moving items off-screen.
Object testing arena[edit]
In the object testing arena, items are appointed from the creature creation screen. This is done by clicking the "Equipment" tab after a creature has been selected. There, an item is added by clicking on it at the bottom, this will add an item to the creature's inventory. The amount of items a creature is holding can be increased or decreased by clicking 
and 
respectively.
Only certain items can be appointed in the arena. Aside from objects obtained from creatures or butchering, and their derivatives, only weapons and training weapons, tools, ammunition, and armor can be created.
