A Cage is a holding device. Cages cannot be made of stone, but can be made of wood and metal. A cage made of glass is called a terrarium. Cages can hold an unlimited number of animals at once. Placing animals in a cage can reduce lag and reduce traffic in your hallways.
The cage can be used in a few ways:
- A jail, where you designate its location to be used for justice, and a sherriff will detain any unruly dwarves.
- Animal restraining device, where you simply plant it and allocate any animals you want in it. Particularily handy for keeping track of mating animals. Just throw all the animals of one type in a cage and let them sit. Soon stray deer fawns will be all over your fortress
- A cage trap needs a cage as one of its components.
