Soap is manufactured at the alchemist's laboratory from animal tallow and lye. Soap is stored in bar/block stockpiles and shows up in the z-stocks menu under bars. It has no current use except as a trade item or to build constructions out of. Usually soap has a low value, also because it does not have quality levels, but it can become quite valuable if it is made from the "right" creature; its value is 25 multiplied by the [MODVALUE:] of the creature whose fat it is made from. This means that soaping is a good way to get value out of megabeast fat. For example, soap made from dragon tallow is worth 1250☼. The lengthy production chain, high labor demand, wastage of wood and potential scarcity of tallow however makes most players largely ignore soap and go for easier trade goods like rock crafts.
Constructions made from soap require the masonry labor to build.
Soap is one of many materials that results in a light gray tile or building.
