![]() They are sent to all the other stockpiles (with the exclusion of the refuse, stone and graveyard piles) and will hold much larger stacks of items, making organizing those endless piles of +giant cave spider silk socks+ and trade goods much easier to manage. Except for a few barrel-specific requirements, pots are generally a superior replacement.īins are containers, again made from wood or metal, used for most non-food items. Pots hold the same amount as barrels (60 total units of food, or 30 units of alcohol) and weigh 1/4th as much as a barrel of equivalent material. Pots can also be used to store alcohol and other related liquids, though clay pots (earthenware) must be glazed to hold liquids. Pots, an alternative for barrels, can be made of wood, stone, clay, glass, or metal. Barrels can be disabled in a stockpile to prevent haulers from running off with everything else inside to pick up a stray seed. They are made at a Carpenter's workshop with 1 log or at a Forge with 3 bars of metal. See also, stocks.īarrels are wooden or metal containers that are useful for storing items in a food stockpile and are used to store alcohol, plants, seed bags, meat, fish, dwarven syrup, quarry bush leaf bags, flour bags and dye bags, cooked food, fat and tallow, and all prepared organs. The i tems command can be used to see items that are stored in a built storage object. Press enter again to select the contents, if any. Then, use + and - until the storage object is highlighted, then press enter. ![]() To examine a storage object's contents when the storage object is in a stockpile, select the object location with the k key. Each other storage object type has its own entry. All storage objects are used to hold items, from personal possessions to gems, alcohol, quarry bush leaves, and even living creatures, but their use is context-sensitive, so you cannot use your barrels for storing coins, but you can build a bag as a dwarf's personal storage object, analogous to a chest.Ĭhests, coffers, boxes and bags are subsumed under boxes and bags in the status stocks screen, and these can be built as " containers" from the building menu to satisfy the "Needs: X Chests" requirement for nobles. We will cover these Workshops in-depth in a future guide.Types of items used for storage include containers, cabinets, barrels, large pots, and bins. This way, you can transform that useless stone that you’ve discovered into high-value goods that you can exchange for necessary goods, like seeds, meat, and food. In Dwarf Fortress, you can build a Craftsdwarf’s Workshop and Jeweler’s Workshop to create high-value goods, including gem-encrusted amulets that trade for a high value at the trader. However, if you have a poor Broker, you will need to incentivize the Merchant with profit, which means you’ll have to spend more goods for items. This is why picking a competent Broker is so important, because you may get away with trades where the Merchant is taking a Trader Loss. Dwarf Fortress will calculate the difference between the value of your goods and the Merchant’s goods and let you know if you’re getting a good deal. ![]() The last thing to remember is the Trader Profit/Loss that can be viewed on the bottom left of the screen. Requesting the item ensures that they will bring it with them. The goods the trader brings every year are randomized, so there’s no telling what they can get next. So why would you request specific goods for next year, you ask? If you want something hyper-specific, especially materials or goods you can’t get in your seed, you may like to request them and pay that premium to create whatever item or material you need. Depending on the item and the amount, prices for that item in the next year could be 100-200+% higher than they would normally be. This will enable you to specify the specific goods you want in the next year–granted at a premium markup. ![]() When the Merchant comes and visits you in Autumn, it will also open a new screen called Requests for Next Year’s Caravan. There are two important concepts you should keep in mind to get the most out of your trading experience in Dwarf Fortress. ![]()
