Wear is the degradation of materials over time, primarily in the context of Template:L and Template:L. Wear will alter the quality of an item, denoted by the symbols x, X and XX. For example, over time a dwarf's "Pig tail shirt" will degrade into a "xPig tail shirtx" and eventually a "XXPig tail shirtXX" before disappearing entirely.

Animal-based products can rot, which is different from wear (see Template:L). Crops and harvested plants can wither if not stored in a stockpile, making them useless but generating no miasma.

Notes on wear:

  • Clothing over time will wear due to normal usage.
  • Clothing and leather items are worn down very rapidly after catching on Template:L.
  • Template:Ls can beat on doors, wearing them out until they break.
  • Wood and cloth items in a Template:Ls built outside in a Template:L biome will degrade until purchased. This will also happen to items in a Template:L in a similar location. Walls do not halt the effect.
  • Invaders' clothing is also subject to wear.
  • Cages do not prevent wear.

Dealing with Decay

Dwarves will pick up new clothes if it available. However, Bug:2481 prevents dwarves from using their acquired clothes. Template:L will accelerate food decay; as such, your food stocks should be kept in Template:Ls and guarded by Template:Ls or Template:Ls.
