This article is about an older version of DF.

(If looking for the tree, see Ash (tree))


Ash is created from a wood log at a wood furnace by a dwarf with the wood burning labor enabled. Ash is an intermediate good, used to make potash, lye, and for glazing ceramics.

Potash is created from ash or lye at an ashery by a dwarf with the potash making labor enabled. Potash can be used as fertilizer to increase stack size of harvested plants. Potash in real life

Pearlash is baked from potash at a kiln (uses 1 fuel) or magma kiln by a dwarf with the furnace operator labor enabled. Its sole use is in the manufacture of clear glass and crystal glass items. Pearlash in real life

Ash, potash and pearlash are bars, stored in a bar stockpile and viewable in the stocks screen under "bars".

Titans, forgotten beasts, and demons are occasionally made of ash, though killing them will usually just result in a pile of ash powder for your dwarves to clean up.
