DF2014 Talk:Paper industry

Quote from Toady:

We have three branches for the release: papyrus, paper (from cloth plants) and parchment. Papyrus is easier to use if you can find it on the map (you make sheets directly at the farmer's workshop. Otherwise you'll have to set up a mill+press for paper (mill to slurry, press slurry to sheet), or go through the parchment process: calcium carbonate stones at kiln -> quicklime, quicklime at ashery -> milk of lime, hide + milk of lime at tanner -> parchment sheet. Currently in the game, a parchment sheet is called a "vellum sheet" when made from a cow (of any age). Otherwise, it is called "<animal> parchment sheet". These materials can currently only be use to make quires or scrolls (with rollers). Then you can bind the quires into codices with bindings.

Todo:

Add jobs, links, etc to:

• Farmer's workshop, farmer
• Tanner's shop, tanner
• Screw press, presser
• Mill, Miller
• Papyrus sedge

done

Create new pages, redirects, or add information on existing pages for:

• Book
• parchment sheet
• sheet
• paper
• vellum sheet
• Quire
• Scroll, scroll rollers
• book binding

Other:

• actual reaction numbers (i.e. how many sheets does a hide give you)
• specify "cloth plants", add paper industry info on the pages of those plants
• specify "calcium carbonate stones", add paper industry info on the pages of those stones and on the general stone page
• maybe redirect calcium carbonate to stone page and add a paragraph about quicklime
