'''Workshops''' are where objects are created, refined, altered, and decorated.

== Building==

Most workshops are quick and easy to build, requiring only a single piece of [[stone]], [[wood]], or other common materials (although there are a few exceptions). To build a workshop, open the {{key|b}}uild menu and select {{key|w}}orkshop, then choose which workshop you would like to build and the materials you would like to use in its construction. Your cursor will now change into a floor plan of the workshop.

Attention: '''dark green locations in the plan will be impassable ''' in the completed workshop, while passable locations will be a bright green. Plans cannot be rotated, so it is important to ensure that the impassable squares do not block a door or otherwise cut off access to the workshop. The [[Jeweler's workshop]] and [[Bowyer's workshop]] block off a whole side of the workshop.

Once the plan has been placed in a satisfactory location, you must have a [[dwarf]] with the appropriate [[labor]] enabled to build the workshop ({{key|v}}iew dwarf-{{key|p}}references-{{key|l}}abors). For instance, to build a a [[carpenter's workshop]], you must have a dwarf with the "[[Carpentry]]" labor enabled. Some workshops (such as the [[furnaces]]) must first be designed by a dwarf with the [[architecture]] labor enabled. To see what labor is needed to build a particular workshop, press {{key|q}} and move the cursor over its floor plan.

To build a workshop, a dwarf must first clean the area of loose rock and other items lying on the ground by moving them to neighboring squares. Items already claimed by other tasks (such as "Bring Item to Stockpile" cannot be moved and will cause the dwarf to suspend construction of the workshop. If this happens, you will need to wait until the interfering tasks are finished (for instance, rock has been cleared away to a stockpile), and then manually un-suspend construction with the {{key|q}} menu. The dwarf will also suspend the construction when he can't find a proper neighboring square to move the items to. This is usually caused by active construction sites on neighboring tiles.

== Use==

Once a workshop has been constructed, you will need to assign a queue of tasks at which the dwarves with that workshop's skill will henceforth toil. To edit the queue, hit {{key|q}} and move the cursor over the workshop. Jobs are completed in order from top to bottom; a job set to 'repeat' will be labeled ''''R'''' in the list, and will be be sent back to the bottom after it is done. This allows you to set a workshop to do a series of tasks repeatedly. The job labeled ''''A'''', if any, is the currently active project.

Alternatively, the [[manager]] can assign jobs to workshops. This is a more efficient way of allocating jobs when the fortress becomes larger.

Most jobs require materials. Any dwarf that starts a job in a workshop will automatically retrieve the necessary materials from the appropriate source (even if they don't have the appropriate [[hauling]] job set). Dwarves work more efficiently if the materials for their workshop are [[stockpile]]d nearby.

Beware of workshop '''[[clutter]]'''! Dwarves will ''not'' automatically haul things away from workshops once the job is completed. Note that there is no way to notice a cluttered workshop without looking specifically inside the workshop ({{key|t}} or {{key|q}}) until a cloud of [[miasma]] erupts from your [[kitchen]].

==Profiles==

Once a manager is assigned, each workshop will have a profile menu ({{key|q}}-{{key|P}}) which allows you to specify which dwarves are allowed to use the workshop (either by name or by a range of [[skill]]s).

== Variations==

The workshops used in the game include the following:
* [[Alchemist's laboratory]]: Used to make [[soap]].
* [[Ashery]]: Used to make [[lye]] and [[potash]].
* [[Bowyer's workshop]]: Used to make wooden [[crossbow]]s.
* [[Butcher's shop]]: Used to turn some corpses and [[animals|livestock]] into [[meat]] and usable materials.
* [[Carpenter's workshop]]: Used to make [[furniture]] from [[wood]]. Also some [[trap]] components.
* [[Clothier's shop]]: Used to make numerous items from [[cloth]].
* [[Craftsdwarf's workshop]]: Used to make a [[crafts|number of items]] from a plethora of materials for trading purposes. Also useful to make [[bolts]] cheaply.
* [[Dyer's shop]]: Used to [[dye]] [[cloth]] or [[thread]].
* [[Farmer's workshop]]: Used to make [[thread]], [[milk]], [[syrup]], and [[quarry bush|leaves]].
* [[Fishery]]: Used to process raw [[fish]] into edible [[meat]] and [[bones]].
* [[Jeweler's workshop]]: Used to cut [[gems]].
* [[Kitchen]]: Used to cook [[food]] to decrease needed storage space, and expand the types of edible food.
* [[Leather works]]: Used to make [[leather]] into [[armor]] and [[clothes]].
* [[Loom]]: Used to make [[cloth]] from [[thread]].
* [[Mason's workshop]]: Used to make [[furniture]] from [[stone]].
* [[Mechanic's workshop]]: Used only to make [[mechanism]]s from [[stone]].
* [[Metalsmith's forge]]: Used to make a plethora of items from trading items to [[furniture]] and [[trap]] components from [[metal]] [[bar]]s and [[fuel]].
** [[Magma forge]]: Same as above, but with less [[fuel]] consumption.
* [[Millstone]]: Used to make [[dye]], [[flour]], and [[sugar]].
** [[Quern]]: Same as above, but with muscle power instead of water or [[windmill]]
* [[Siege workshop]]: Used to make [[ballista]] arrows and [[catapult]] and ballista parts.
* [[Still]]: Used to make alcohol drinks from [[plants]].
* [[Tanner's shop]]: Used to tan hides into [[leather]].

== Furnaces ==

Furnaces behave simlarly to workshops, except that they need some form of [[fuel]] ([[charcoal]], [[coke]], or [[magma]]) to operate. They transform raw material ([[wood]], [[ore]] or [[sand]]) to either a [[bar]] or [[block]] (of [[glass]], [[metal]], [[fuel]], [[ash]] or [[potash]]). To build a furnace, open the {{key|b}}uild menu and select {{key|e}}.

Furnaces must be built from fire proof material such as [[stone]].

* [[Glass furnace]]: Used to make [[glass]] items from [[sand]] and [[fuel]].
** [[Magma glass furnace]]: Same as above, but without the [[fuel]] consumption.
* [[Kiln]]: Used to make [[pearlash]] from [[potash]] and [[fuel]].
** [[Magma kiln]]: Same as above, but without [[fuel]] consumption.
* [[Smelter]]: Used to make [[metal]] [[bar]]s from [[ore]] and [[fuel]].
** [[Magma smelter]]: Same as above, but with smaller or non existent [[fuel]] consumption.
* [[Wood furnace]]: Used to make [[charcoal]], which is [[fuel]], from [[wood]]
