(found this orphaned jpeg, and this page has been lacking since forever. "Needs Improving" is an understatement, but it's a start for now. (Anyone inspired?)) |

| + | | [[Blade weed]] | ||
| + | | [[Rope reed]] | ||
| + | |} | ||
| + | This will give you one cloth crop and one dye crop each harvest. This is not the only way to do it, but it is an example of a growing plan that will keep a [[miller]], a [[thresher]], a [[dyer]], a [[weaver]], and some [[grower]]s employed evenly year-round and provide high-value materials for any tailors in your fort. If you have access to [[silk]] on your map, you may prefer to substitute a food crop for one of the fiber crops, or brew the excess [[pig tail]] into [[dwarven ale]]. | ||

 | This page needs improving: Images and screenshots should clearly depict the subject. Small diagrams can be constructed with <diagram> or {{RT}}, for easy editing, and to save on space. When uploading images, give them a name that is descriptive and unlikely to be duplicated. Names like "1", "screenshot", and "untitled" should be avoided. Read more on the Community portal. |
Raw material
Power
Producing metal from ore, and turning the metal into finished products, requires a large amount of power
Ore
Ore is a generic term given to a mineral which can be refined to produce a metal. Within the game this is done at a smelter.
Coke
Prodcuing iron or steel will require coke. Iron is made by mixing pig iron with carbon, steel is made by mixing iron with more carbon; the pig iron is produced from an iron ore. The coke must be produced in a furnace from a fuel.
Completed proudcts
Through a variety of labours and workshops, the metal industry can create high value armor, furniture and weapons.
Summary
Required worker / tasks
- Miner / mining, producing ore, flux and coke.
- Peasant / for the large volume of raw materials used, it is generally inefficient to use skilled labour for hauling.
- Furnace operator / Produce bars from raw ingredients
- Armorsmith / Produce metal armor from bars
- Metalsmith / Produce metal blocks or furniture (including anvils, bins, buckets, and cages) from bars
- Weaponsmith / Produce metal weapons from bars
