| This article is about an older version of DF. |
A bar is a sub-type of building material (interchangeable with a block for that purpose), and is the base individual unit of metal, charcoal, coke, potash, ash, pearlash, and tallow soap. All metals are created as bars at a smelter, whether smelted from ores or melted down from existing metal items.
Most bars are not an end-product, but are then used to produce something else:
Bar of... Use ash makes potash or lye charcoal
or cokepowering standard forges, smelters, kilns, and glass furnaces,
and for making pig iron and steelmetal metalsmithing pearlash needed ingredient for clear or crystal glass potash used as fertilizer, makes pearlash soap none
Metal bars can also be used to build workshops, roads, bridges, and aqueducts.
"Bars" of adamantine metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars.
