Mechanic is the skill associated with the mechanics Template:L. Mechanics can work at a Template:L or a Template:L to manufacture Template:Ls, and place any Template:Ls that require mechanisms such as Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:L, and Template:Ls. They are also responsible for linking up Template:Ls or Template:Ls to objects such as Template:Ls, Template:Ls and other Template:L.

A dwarf will gain mechanics skill by manufacturing Template:Ls in the Template:L. A dwarf with a high skill in mechanics will typically produce higher quality mechanisms, and can link up objects faster than a novice. High quality mechanisms may provide happy thoughts to passing dwarves. Skill is also gained by loading cage traps.

To manufacture metal mechanisms, navigate into the trap component sub-menu at any metalsmith's forge. This process will use the mechanics Template:L.
