A Jeweler's workshop is a workshop for a jeweler. A jeweler uses this workshop to make items more valuable.
Menu
Jeweler's Workshop
- c Cut Gems
- e Encrust with Gems
Common Uses
- Cut rough gems into something usable.
- Decorate objects with gems to make them more valuable.
- Make ordinary beds, cabinets, tables, etc. more aesthetic for better quality rooms.
Notes
- Rough gems are never as valuable as cut gems.[Verify]
- When adding a task to cut/encrust gems, the tasks are generally ordered by gem value, from least valuable to most valuable (in reality, they appear in the order in which they are defined in the raw file "inorganic_stone_gem.txt", which is roughly grouped by rarity). It's a good idea to let your Gem setter train with low-value gems (or glass which can be manufactured) and only use high-value gems when reaching the legendary status, as there's a much better chance they will score a masterpiece which is 12 times as valuable.
- The entire right column of the workshop is impassable, making it easy to accidentally trap dwarves inside the workshop after it is built.
- as of version 34.01, you may also cut normal stones in the jeweler's workshop. these stones will always come out as cabochons while other gems will come out as cut gems. the difference being that a cabochon is just a cut and polished stone, were as a gem is a gem. some rough gems are also always cut as cabochons, this is dependent on the opacity or transparency of the stone.
- a nice strategy for increasing the value of crafts is to cut valuable stones such as obsidian or various ores (platinum, silver, or gold) and then encrust your crafts with these stones. the drawback is you lose the ore, and in most cases you would be better off just turning the ore into bars and making crafts from the metal.
