Template:Bugs Soap is used by dwarves for both personal cleaning and health care. It is extremely important in health care, as without it, many dwarves will die due to infection.
Soap is made by combining Template:L with either Template:L or Template:L in a Template:L. One unit of tallow/oil plus one unit of lye creates a single bar of soap.
Lye can be used whether it is stored in a Template:L or a bucket.
Dwarves do not require soap to clean Template:Ls such as mud and blood from themselves - if necessary, they will use murky pools, artificial pools of water, brooks, or a Template:L. However, using soap will occasionally generate the happy Template:L "recently took a soapy bath". It is possible to construct bath-houses (rooms containing pools of water, a soap stockpile, and perhaps a few nice statues) so dwarves living deep underground need not venture to dangerous cave pools or surface brooks to clean off a little mud or bloodstain. For cleaning wounds and preventing infection after Template:L, however, Template:Ls should be kept stocked with a small amount of soap.
Soap is stored in bar/block Template:Ls with the "soap" option enabled.
Lye Container Difficulties
Lye that is in a bucket which also contains another substance, such as water, cannot be used for the reaction. Bug:1236 As a workaround, view the contents of the bucket, select the water and forbid it, then order the bucket be brought for trading at the depot. A small puddle of water will remain on the floor, which your dwarves will never clean up.
Bugs
- If you have a Template:L of lye (bought via Template:L or from a Template:L) then the entire stack will be used up to make a single bar of soap. Bug:2117
