A Cage is a holding device. Cages cannot be made of stone, but can be made of wood and metal. 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 sherrif will detain any unruly dwarves.
  • Animal restraining device, where you simply plant it and allocate any animals you want in it.
    • This is also how you go about making a makeshift zoo for trapped animals.
  • A cage trap needs a cage as one of its components.
