- For built horizontal and vertical bars, see Template:L.
Bars
A bar is a sub-type of building material (interchangeable with a Template:L for that purpose), and is the base individual unit of Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L. All Template:Ls are created as bars at a Template:L, whether processed from Template:Ls, Template:Led with other metals, or Template:Led down from existing metal items.
With the exception of non-Template:L materials, all bars are as durable as others - a wall made from bars of ash, charcoal or soap will last as long one made from bars of Template:L.
Bars are not an end-product, but are used for various other tasks:
Bar of... Used for... Template:L making Template:L or Template:L Template:L powering standard Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls,
and making Template:L and Template:LTemplate:L Template:Ling Template:L making clear or crystal Template:L Template:L Template:L Template:Ls or making Template:L Template:L Template:L
All types of bars can also be used to build Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, and other Template:Ls, as well as built as Template:L. (Be aware that some purposes suggest the use of Template:L materials.) However, different bars require different Template:Ls to use in such construction projects - Template:Ling for metal bars and Template:Lry for all others (including bars of soap).
"Bars" of Template:L metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars.
Bar unit weirdness
Each bar is made of 150 dimensionless units. The primary purpose of this is so that bars of Template:L can be used multiple times before being used up. However, this will sometimes cause baffling error messages like "Dwarf cancels make steel bar: needs 150 iron bars". Bug:63 This also seems to cause a bug where only one bar of metal is needed to make anything, even though some things should require two or three bars to make. Bug:130
