Wikipedia article

This article is about an older version of DF.

Zinc is a metal that could hypothetically be smelted from sphalerite. In this version of Dwarf Fortress, however, it is not possible to smelt sphalerite by itself - it can only be smelted along with malachite in order to make brass.

If it is somehow created (e.g. using memory hacking), zinc furniture having a background color (i.e. a door, floodgate, cage, barrel, or bin) does not render correctly - on the ground it is black, when built it is white, and while being hauled it is a semi-random color, a behavior also observed with odd artifacts such as shell cages in later versions.
