'''Barrels''' are storage units that, like [[bin]]s, [[large pot]]s and [[bag]]s, conserve [[stockpile]] space by containing several items of the same type. They can be made out of [[wood]] at a [[carpenter's workshop]] (requires one [[log]] for each barrel) or forged from [[metal]] at a [[forge]] (requires 3 [[metal]] [[bar]]s). Non-magma [[forge]]s also require one [[bar]] of [[fuel]].

For information on managing barrels in stockpiles, see [[using bins and barrels]].

When a barrel gets empty again after being used it will be used again after being hauled back to a furniture stockpile.

For most uses, barrels can be replaced by a [[large pot]], which has double the carrying capacity (and requires no [[wood]] or [[metal]]) at the cost of being 2.5 times as heavy.

Barrels are used in building [[dyer's shop]]s and [[ashery|asheries]]. Using a valuable masterwork or [[artifact]] barrel to build one of these buildings can significantly increase fortress [[wealth]].

:''(This article is about plants. If you want information about trees, see [[Tree]].)''

'''Crops''' (or more accurately '''plants''') can either be [[farming|farmed]], traded for, or acquired by plant gathering. Farming happens at farm plots. There are two types of crops: above ground and subterranean. The [[seed]]s of subterranean crops may be brought from the starting embark screen or, with some small luck, purchased from dwarven caravans. Above ground crops and [[seed]]s may be purchased from human or elven caravans or gathered by dwarves with the [[plant gathering]] labor enabled. Seeds may also be collected by processing the plants or eating them (but not by cooking!). There is a limit of 200 seeds of a given type at a time, after which no more will be produced.

A few of the plants listed below are not strictly crops, as they have no seeds and can't be planted (see note "4", below.)

Most plants can be brewed into alcohols, each plant type producing a different variation, and dwarves do prefer some variety in their drink. Some plants may be eaten raw, others must be cooked first, others must be processed first (by milling or plant processing) before they are edible, and still others are inedible, producing only non-food products (their seeds can be cooked anyway, however). Drinks may be cooked as ingredients in prepared meals, but at least one of the ingredients must be a non-liquid.

All drinks require a spare [[barrel]] or [[large pot]] for storage, and some other products also require specific containers for storage. Plants can be stored in barrels or without a container; seeds are stored individually or in [[bag]]s which can then be put into barrels. It may be advisable to have a small stockpile that accepts only seeds next to your farm(s).

Plump helmets and pig tails can be harvested 25 days after sowing. All other crops need about 42 days.

'''Notes:'''
:1 This is the value for a stack of 5 units, which is the number rendered from a single plant.
:2 Anything that can be cooked is edible afterwards. [[v0.31_Talk:Cook#No_Seeds|Cooking leaves no seeds for re-planting.]]
:3 These plants cannot be eaten/cooked until they are further processed, either by milling or extracting; see "products" column for process product.
:4 These plants cannot be grown on a farm plot as they have no seeds. They can only be acquired through plant gathering (in season only) or trade.
:5 To get the products/extracts from the plants they have to be processed, in the following [[workshop]]s, using the following [[labor]]s:
::*'''m''': mill ([[cave wheat]], [[sweet pod]], [[longland grass]], [[whip vine]], [[dimple cup]], [[blade weed]], [[hide root]], [[sliver barb]]): At [[quern]] or [[millstone]], using [[milling]].
::*'''b''': process to bag ([[quarry bush]]): At [[farmer's workshop]], using [[plant processing]].
::*'''s''': press paste into oil ([[quarry bush]]): At [[screw press]].
::*'''l''': process to barrel ([[sweet pod]]): At farmer's workshop, using plant processing.
::*'''p''': process plant ([[pig tail]], [[rope reed]]): At farmer's workshop, using plant processing.
::*'''v''': process to vial ([[valley herb]]): At farmer's workshop, using plant processing.
::*'''e''': extract plant essence ([[kobold bulb]]): At [[still]], using [[plant gathering]].

[[Fire-safe]] materials are those that are not damaged by [[fire]]. These materials include glass, metal, and most stone. No types of wood are fire-safe, and neither are [[charcoal]] or [[coke]]. [[Bituminous coal]] and [[lignite]] are flammable stone, and ought not be fire-safe, but the bug mentioned below allows them to be safely used as a fire-safe building material. Furthermore, the game only considers [[bar]]s, [[block]]s, [[stone]], [[log]]s, and [[anvil]]s to be capable of being fire-safe - all other item types are rejected outright.

Fire-safe materials are only required when the object is going to come into contact with extreme heat, such as all conventional [[furnace]]s and the [[metalsmith's forge|forge]]. For the magma-powered versions of these buildings, as well as anything that will be in direct contact with magma (such as [[floodgate]]s), fire-safe material is not enough: it has to be [[magma-safe]].

As far as the game is concerned, only materials which are stable at the temperature {{ct|11000}} (i.e. MELTING_POINT/BOILING_POINT/IGNITE_POINT/HEATDAM_POINT greater than 11000 and COLDDAM_POINT less than 11000) are considered fire-safe. Despite this temperature being considered fire-safe, actual [[fire]] generates temperatures as high as {{ct|11640}}.{{bug|5011}}
