This article is about an older version of DF.

Lye is made by a dwarf with the lye making Template:L enabled at an Template:L, and requires 1 Template:L of Template:L and 1 Template:L. Ash is made from Template:L by a wood burner at a wood furnace.

Lye is used to make Template:L and Template:L, though potash can also be made directly from ash.

In versions older than 0.31.19, lye has to be moved from buckets into a Template:L to make soap. This is done automatically if you have a food stockpile with "misc. liquid" enabled, and a spare barrel. In 0.31.19, a bucket of lye can be used directly; and lye that is in a stockpile cannot be used.

If you order lye from your outpost liaison, lye will arrive in the next trade caravan. The lye will already be in barrels.

Bugs

  • Sometimes, dwarves will use a bucket that already contains Template:L when making lye. The result will be a bucket containing both water and lye, which cannot be used for any purpose. See Template:L for workaround suggestions.
