| − | + | Lye freezes in cold weather – you'll have to wait until it thaws in order to make [[soap]]. Careful application of [[magma]] can help to unfreeze lye, or they can be moved to a warmer [[underground]] location. There is no entry for frozen lye in stockpile menus, however, so dwarves will not haul a frozen lye barrel to any type of stockpile. Barrels containing frozen lye can be moved [[underground]] to thaw by dumping them to a [[garbage dump]], but if you use the [[Designations Menu]] to mark the barrels, the frozen lye stack will be marked for dumping separately, and when it is hauled inside, it will melt into a useless puddle on the floor. Instead, choose barrel and click dump [[File:Dump option icon.png|30px]] on it to mark just the barrel for dumping, and its contents will go with it. If your [[trade depot]] is outdoors in freezing weather, frozen lye barrels (along with [[milk#Dwarven_ice_cream|milk]]) will appear as empty barrels in the [[Trading]] screen. They can be distinguished from empty barrels by having a price 20☼ higher than the price of the barrel, or by viewing their contents. If purchased, these will also have to be dumped to thaw the lye, or will have to wait for better weather. | |
