'''Trolls''' are large, predatory, dangerous subterranean evil [[creature]]s who inhabit all layers of the [[caverns]] and often appear under the command of [[goblin]]s during [[siege]]s, and have any number of [[fun|features]] which make them creatures to be taken seriously. Over four times larger than a [[dwarf]], they are [[building destroyer]]s, and will path to your [[building]]s simply for the joy of sheer destruction. During sieges, they act as battering rams, so [[trap design|design your defenses accordingly]]. They are not related to [[night troll]]s, despite the similar names.

Wild trolls meander the underground and attack dwarves who approach or provoke them. Many of them are enslaved/absorbed by goblins during world generation and become their servants, inhabiting their [[dark pit]]s in truly huge numbers (sometimes enough to cause overwhelming lag {{bug|7526}}) and aiding their smaller masters in their battles against other races. Goblins [[Shearer|shear]] trolls for their fur, making them the evil race's equivalent of [[sheep]]. As they are intelligent (although incapable of speech), civilized trolls may gain non-military professions among goblin society. In a modded game, they may be usable in the dwarven [[textile industry]], but you can't change their labors, due to a bug.

Trolls will almost certainly appear accompanying goblins when they siege your fortress. They are quite tough and have a variety of different ways to cause injury to your dwarves due to their humanoid bodies and large tusks. Since they only rarely wear [[armor]] (when appearing as helpers of [[goblin christmas|Goblin Claus]]), they will be easy targets for a decently-skilled squad of axedwarves, though [[silk]]-wearing trolls can complicate things, if [[copper]] and [[silver]] are the only [[Weapon#Superior metal rule|weapons-grade metals]] your fortress has available. Trolls can and will [[Wrestling|wrestle]] your dwarves, which can lead to some broken bones in your military. Unlike goblins, trolls are natural [[swim]]mers, which could be a problem for a fortress relying on a moat for defense, or using a drowning chamber or underground lake as a means of administering dwarven justice. Trolls can [[climb]], so it is possible for them to get to level one of a cavern through [[deep pit]]s and access your fortress to <s>crush the heads of</s> play with your dwarves.

Trolls notably possess cyan-colored [[blood]] (possibly [[wikipedia:Hemocyanin|hemocyanin]]-based). Their behavior as a servant race of goblins is done via the combination of the {{token|EVIL}} and {{token|SLOW_LEARNER}} creature tokens and the fact they live underground; through modding, players can create their own subterranean goblin servants who will accompany trolls in battle by giving their race these two tokens. Unlike [[gremlin]]s, they cannot become [[pet]]s of citizens.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] trolls for their ''terrifying features''.

They also enjoy vandalizing wiki pages and causing mass annoyance. Though they do not speak, they would provoke others into angry responses with their wild claims if they could. Once a troll would successfully cause an argument between many individuals, the troll would sit back and laugh, taking an immature enjoyment out of the scenario. Sometimes, the best course of action in defeating a troll is to ignore it.

Block

Russ3Z: Singular

{{Quality|Fine}}
{{av}}

:''For "blocking" in combat, see [[Armor]].''

[[File:blocks_sprite_preview.png|right]]A '''block''' is a type of building material that is more architecturally efficient than its non-processed counterparts. Blocks are lighter, faster building, and more valuable. This makes blocks especially useful for large construction projects.

[[Stone]], [[wood]], [[glass]], [[ceramic]], and [[metal]] blocks can be created respectively in a [[Stoneworker's workshop]], a [[carpenter's workshop]], a [[glass furnace]], a [[kiln]], and a [[forge]]. One stone or a wooden log can be shaped into 4 blocks, which makes them more useful for larger constructions. All other materials only produce 1 block/task, and all blocks share the advantages in construction and value. Ceramic blocks are called "bricks", though they behave the same as all other blocks.

Blocks can be used as building materials for [[road]]s, [[bridge]]s, [[workshop]]s and [[construction]]s. When a raw material (e.g. raw stone rock) is used instead, the game will describe the result as "rough", while buildings built from blocks are not given that adjective. Additionally, blocks are '''required''' to build [[well]]s, [[screw pump]]s, and [[ashery|asheries]].

Even though blocks are quite useful in terms of construction, they cannot replace other functions of the raw material. E.g: Stone blocks cannot be used for making furniture or craft goods, tools such as [[pot]]s or [[jug]]s, [[mechanism]]s, or [[catapult]] ammunition. Nor can wooden blocks be used to make furniture, craft goods, tools, siege weapon components, ballista arrowheads, or crossbow bolts, or be burned at a [[wood furnace]]. Metal blocks can't be used for [[metalsmith's forge]] jobs but '''can be melted down''' at a [[smelter]].

==Blocks vs. rocks==

The clearest distinction between a [[building]] built with [[stone|raw stone]] and a building built with a stone block is that more buildings can be built of blocks, as each stone produces 4 blocks. Note that this does not apply to [[glass]], or [[ceramic]] blocks/bricks, which are only made in sets of 1; [[metal]] blocks are also made in sets of 1, but since you get 4 bars at a time from smelting ore, the end result is equivalent to stone.

Blocks have less volume, and thus [[weight|weigh]] much less than raw forms of construction materials - stone blocks weigh only 6% as much as a raw stone, and wooden blocks weigh 12% as much as the log from which they are carved. This weight difference can dramatically reduce hauling time, especially if you are using large amounts of materials. Forming metal bars into blocks makes no difference in regards to weight, though it does simplify the tracking of resources - if you use metal bars to build workshops and constructions, your [[stocks]] screen will still list them in the summary view, potentially misleading you into believing you have more available bars than you actually have.

Building a bridge out of blocks instead of rocks also '''cuts the building time by two thirds''', independent of clearing and hauling time. This difference in building time presumably extends to other buildings and constructions where you can choose between blocks and rocks. The appearance of [[bridge]]s and paved [[road]]s will be different depending on whether blocks or rocks are used. The use of blocks is indicated by the floor tile {{Tile|+|#FFF|#000}}, and the use of rocks is indicated by a rough ground tile {{Tile|≈|#FFF|#000}}.

Unlike raw stone or wood, up to 30 blocks can be stored in each [[bin]] in bar/block [[stockpile]]s, which can improve hauling time between stockpiles. A [[minecart]] can carry up to 83 blocks.

Blocks are more valuable than rocks, having a [[Value#Items with material but without quality|base value]] of 5, compared to the raw material value of 3 for stone, wood or glass, while metal bars already have a base value of 5. This, combined with the yield of 4 blocks per stone, nets a value increase of 17 when using basic stones for blocks.

Metal ores and economic stone will still produce multiple stone blocks if cut in a mason's workshop. However, this breaks use for any purpose other than building and [[strange mood]]s, such as [[reaction]]s: blocks of [[flux]] '''cannot''' be used for making [[pig iron]] or [[steel]], nor can blocks of [[ore]] be [[smelter|smelted]] into metal (without modding reactions). Note that "filler" blocks of [[raw adamantine]] are excellent for increasing [[artifact]] value without wasting too much adamantine on legendary doors, tables, etc.

Russ3Z: fix table formatting a bit

{{Noble
| noble=Broker
| function=
* Valuation of items at Depot
* Visibility of item [[value]]s
* Display of fortress [[wealth]] on {{k|z}}-[[status]] screen
* Reports [[wealth]] to attract [[Immigration|migrants]]
|arrival=Appointed on the [[nobles screen]].
}}

The '''Broker''' is a useful [[noble]] with no [[demand]]s or [[Noble#Needs|requirements]]. A broker has several duties in the running of an organised fortress.

After you appoint a broker with the [[appraiser]] skill through the {{k|n}}oble screen, you can see fortress [[wealth]] and trade information in the [[status]] screen ({{k|z}}). (The exactness with which this can be seen is determined by the duties of the [[bookkeeper]].) Your broker's appraiser skill is also used to determine whether to display item values, in general and in the [[trade depot]].

If your designated broker is currently off-map on a [[raid]], you will lose all specific values during that absence.

At the [[trade depot]], you can specify that only the broker may [[trade]] with visiting [[caravan]]s. The advantage of this is that the broker gains appraiser skill by opening the trade window for the first time, which allows the display of item values at the depot, and gains social skills by trading, which improves returns on your trading efforts. The disadvantage, however, is that convincing your broker to go to the trade depot in a timely manner can at times be frustratingly difficult. Once your broker has gained the appraiser skill and your fortress has plentiful trade goods, allowing other dwarves to trade will spread out the experience gains and ensure a prompt response. Your traders also use the [[judge of intent]] skill to see how merchants [[Trade#Merchant_mood|react]] to trade offers.

==Relevant skills==
Of the social skills, those in bold are known to change the effectiveness of a Broker:
{| class="wikitable"
| '''[[Judge of intent]]'''
| Liar
| Conversationalist
| Intimidator
|-
| '''[[Appraiser]]'''
| Comedian
| Persuader
| Pacifier
|-
| Negotiator
| Flatterer
| Consoler
|
|}

When selecting a broker, all of the above skills will appear as relevant, but since the broker's actions are entirely controlled by the player, they are not known to affect the broker's job. It is possible that some skills change the way that the merchants respond to your actions, such as Negotiator extending the patience of the merchants when making counteroffers. {{verify}}

The broker gains some experience in each of the skills (except Appraiser, after one trade) for each successful trade. The Appraiser skill will rocket from Dabbling to Legendary after just one trade of very high-value items on your end—say, a dozen barrels of masterfully prepared roasts—even if the trade is for a single plump helmet. The other skills, however, increase ''very'' slowly, and in normal play will raise perhaps one or two skill levels through the years; to reach Legendary requires over a thousand successful trades. If you find yourself wanting such a broker, setting up a [[macro]] to trade individual worn-out clothes for individual food items (as well as coins, bolts, and anything in a stack) is the fastest method to train these skills. Note that, once Legendary, having such high social skills means your broker is very likely to be elected [[mayor]] as well.

Russ3Z: /* Facets */ grammar fix

{{Quality|Superior|16:20, 23 January 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
The most detailed screen in the [[profile]] is the '''thoughts and preferences''' screen, accessible with {{k|u}}-{{k|v}}-{{k|Enter}} or {{k|v}}-{{k|z}}-{{k|Enter}}. It gives you a detailed breakdown of your dwarves' happiness and [[thought]]s, familial status, [[civilization]] membership, age and date of birth, physical descriptors (and [[wound]]s), physical [[attribute]]s, [[preference]]s, mental attributes, and [[personality trait]]s, in that order. All dwarves have two pieces of their profiles in common: "He/she needs [[alcohol]] to get through the working day" (indicating that all dwarves are alcoholics), amongst their personality traits, and "A short sturdy creature fond of work and industry" at the end of the screen (this is actually the dwarf's tagline, and will appear at the beginning for all other [[creature]]s). Non-citizens have profiles too, although these are far less detailed, only giving physical characteristics, wounds, and their tagline.

The thoughts and preferences screen cannot be seen in the [[object testing arena]].

[[File:preference_preview.png|thumb|350px|center|Thoughts and preferences of Kadôl Istbarmonom, a herbalist.]]

==Thoughts==
{{main|Thoughts}}
This first section is in grey, with extremely recent thoughts in white. It may be preceded by either a white quote from the dwarf or a coloured note about their emotional status (eg. dark red for Enraged) or stress level. Stress level is invisible to the player until stress starts to bother the dwarf, at which point they start flashing the downward red arrow of unhappiness and may cancel jobs in order to space out. These temporary breaks from reality can turn into permanent insanity if the sources of the dwarf's unhappiness are not removed.

Emotional reactions are loosely colour-coded, with positive thoughts being in blue or green and strong negative thoughts being in red or yellow. Brown thoughts are mildly to moderately negative, and purple and grey ones are pretty much neutral. Positive thoughts lower stress level, and negative thoughts raise it.

==Familial status==
Family [[relationship]]s are special in that they get special mention in the dwarves' thoughts and preferences, in light blue. This section will list spouses, children, and parents, in that order. It will also include any objects of [[deity|worship]].

==Civilization membership==
{{main|Civilization}}
This section will list first the civilizations that the dwarf has entered or left, and at the end will give their date of arrival at your fortress. This section is static, and most important when hunting for [[vampire]]s, which will almost always have excessively long (10+) civilization memberships. Most dwarves have at most five items on this screen, which is in blue.

==Age and date of birth==
This section is in yellow, and is fairly self-explanatory. [[Age]] is mostly irrelevant, but will tell you how close babies are to becoming [[children]], children to adults, and how long it is before elderly dwarves pass away from old age. ''Actual'' death from old age is fairly uncommon, even in a world old enough for dwarves to have grown old before they migrate to your fortress.

In short history worlds, you may encounter dwarves that were created along with the world. Since they were created as adults, they are technically younger than they look. Thus you will get the "has the appearance of one who is X years old" message when you check their age. They also tend to be highly experienced and hold high positions. As these are also common traits of vampires, it's possible that you might end up wasting a perfectly good dwarf. A "quarantine" room, with beds, food, and drink can help you determine which is the case. Wall them in, and check periodically. If the food, drink or beds are never used, you know you are dealing with an undead.

See [[Vampire|here]] for more information.

==Physical description==
This section, in white, gives a physical description of the dwarf, and will be the only thing displayed for a non-dwarf. Physical properties are only important in dwarves for combat (more muscle and fat means more mass for fighting and an ability to wield mid-sized weapons one-handed), but are important variables in [[butcher]]ing returns as well as affecting how well other creatures fight. Fat dwarves live for longer when starved, as they have more fat reserves to draw upon. Physical characteristics are heavily influenced by dwarven [[genetics]].

In addition, any external [[wound]]s will be noted in red (open), brown (bruise or scar), or gray (missing body parts). This is the best way to get an at-a-glance of a creature's wounds, giving a better description than the {{k|v}}iew window's wounds screen outside of internal wounds requiring [[surgery]]. Serious injuries will still need [[diagnosis]] before [[healthcare|treatment]], however.

==Physical attributes==
{{main|Attribute#Body Attributes}}
[[Attribute#Body Attributes|Physical attributes]] affect how well your dwarves are able to do something, and are trained by performing jobs that exercise that attribute. These are strength (used in combat, mining, and woodcutting), agility (used when running), toughness (used in combat), endurance (used when working while tired and pump operating), recuperation (used when healing wounds), and disease resistance (used when healing from [[syndrome]]s). Above-average attributes will be in green, below-average in red. Average results will not be reported.

==Preferences==
{{main|Preferences}}
Dwarves like certain [[material]]s, [[color]]s, [[creature|animal]]s, and brews of alcohol, and detest certain [[vermin]]. Being exposed to these likes or dislikes will give them a higher-than-normal chance of getting a higher-than-normal positive or negative thought, respectively. This comes in handy most when designating dwarves for duties, as dwarves love to work with materials and creatures of their preferences, and will produce higher [[quality]] goods as a result. Being able to outfit [[noble]]s' quarters with classy preferable items is a perk, too. This section is in green again.

==Mental attributes==
{{main|Attribute#Soul Attributes}}
[[Attribute#Soul Attributes|Mental attributes]] work in much the same way as physical attributes, are listed in the same way, and come in a much greater variety. Most affect how your dwarves are able to do their [[job]]s, as certain mental abilities are important in certain trades.

==Beliefs==
{{main|Personality trait#Beliefs}}
The belief section is composed of two parts, the cultural and personal beliefs.
===Cultural beliefs===
Cultural beliefs are the beliefs that the creature holds that are considered "on par" with their culture.

Typically, cultural beliefs will look something like this:
:''"Like others in his culture, he holds craftsdwarfship to be of the highest ideals and celebrates talented artisans and their masterwork, has a great deal of respect for the law, values family greatly, sees friendship as one of the finer things in life, believes that honesty is a high ideal, greatly respects artists and their work, really respects those that take the time to master a skill, deeply respect those who work hard at their labors, respects fair-dealing and fair-play, values cooperation, finds merrymaking and partying worthwhile activities, values martial prowess, values leisure time, respects commerce and finds nature somewhat disturbing."'' Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets.

===Personal beliefs===
Below the cultural beliefs are the individual beliefs, beliefs the creature holds that go against their "typical" culture.

==Goals==
{{main|Personality trait#Goals}}
Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page. If said goal has actually been fulfilled, the description will include "and this dream was realized". They will also get a strong happy thought upon completing it. {{verify}}

==Facets==
{{main|Personality trait#Facets}}
A dwarf's personality facets affect a lot of things. A nervous wreck of a [[wood cutter]] would be very quick to become unhappy if they are unlucky enough to be ambushed by a foe while felling a tree, even if they come out on top in the ensuing encounter. Some are truly meaningless ("she always takes a deep breath whenever she is surprised"), but many affect how the dwarf works and relates to others. Facets affect how and what [[social skill]]s a dwarf trains.

While not a true personality facet, if the dwarf has become desensitized to tragedy, that will be mentioned at the end of this section of their profile, through the lines, "He/She is getting used to tragedy," "He/She is a hardened individual," or for full desensitization, "He/She doesn't really care about anything anymore."

==Needs==
{{main|Need}}
Needs are similar to [[thoughts]], except they affect focus (which has to do with productivity and combat effectiveness) rather than with the risk of tantrums.
Dwarves become unfocused if their needs are not met, and individual dwarves have different needs depending on their particular beliefs.
Needs that are unmet for long enough become bad [[thoughts]].

==Civilization membership==
{{main|Civilization}}
This section will list first the civilizations that the dwarf has entered or left, and at the end will give their date of arrival at your fortress. This section is static, and most important when hunting for [[vampire]]s, which will almost always have excessively long (10+) civilization memberships. Most dwarves have at most five items on this screen, which is in blue.

==Age and date of birth==
This section is in yellow, and is fairly self-explanatory. [[Age]] is mostly irrelevant, but will tell you how close babies are to becoming [[children]], children to adults, and how long it is before elderly dwarves pass away from old age. ''Actual'' death from old age is fairly uncommon, even in a world old enough for dwarves to have grown old before they migrate to your fortress.

In short history worlds, you may encounter dwarves that were created along with the world. Since they were created as adults, they are technically younger than they look. Thus you will get the "has the appearance of one who is X years old" message when you check their age. They also tend to be highly experienced and hold high positions. As these are also common traits of vampires, it's possible that you might end up wasting a perfectly good dwarf. A "quarantine" room, with beds, food, and drink can help you determine which is the case. Wall them in, and check periodically. If the food, drink or beds are never used, you know you are dealing with an undead.

See [[Vampire|here]] for more information.

==Physical description==
This section, in white, gives a physical description of the dwarf, and will be the only thing displayed for a non-dwarf. Physical properties are only important in dwarves for combat (more muscle and fat means more mass for fighting and an ability to wield mid-sized weapons one-handed), but are important variables in [[butcher]]ing returns as well as affecting how well other creatures fight. Fat dwarves live for longer when starved, as they have more fat reserves to draw upon. Physical characteristics are heavily influenced by dwarven [[genetics]].

In addition, any external [[wound]]s will be noted in red (open), brown (bruise or scar), or gray (missing body parts). This is the best way to get an at-a-glance of a creature's wounds, giving a better description than the {{k|v}}iew window's wounds screen outside of internal wounds requiring [[surgery]]. Serious injuries will still need [[diagnosis]] before [[healthcare|treatment]], however.

==Physical attributes==
{{main|Attribute#Body Attributes}}
[[Attribute#Body Attributes|Physical attributes]] affect how well your dwarves are able to do something, and are trained by performing jobs that exercise that attribute. These are strength (used in combat, mining, and woodcutting), agility (used when running), toughness (used in combat), endurance (used when working while tired and pump operating), recuperation (used when healing wounds), and disease resistance (used when healing from [[syndrome]]s). Above-average attributes will be in green, below-average in red. Average results will not be reported.

==Preferences==
{{main|Preferences}}
Dwarves like certain [[material]]s, [[color]]s, [[creature|animal]]s, and brews of alcohol, and detest certain [[vermin]]. Being exposed to these likes or dislikes will give them a higher-than-normal chance of getting a higher-than-normal positive or negative thought, respectively. This comes in handy most when designating dwarves for duties, as dwarves love to work with materials and creatures of their preferences, and will produce higher [[quality]] goods as a result. Being able to outfit [[noble]]s' quarters with classy preferable items is a perk, too. This section is in green again.

==Mental attributes==
{{main|Attribute#Soul Attributes}}
[[Attribute#Soul Attributes|Mental attributes]] work in much the same way as physical attributes, are listed in the same way, and come in a much greater variety. Most affect how your dwarves are able to do their [[job]]s, as certain mental abilities are important in certain trades.

==Beliefs==
{{main|Personality trait#Beliefs}}
The belief section is composed of two parts, the cultural and personal beliefs.
===Cultural beliefs===
Cultural beliefs are the beliefs that the creature holds that are considered "on par" with their culture.

Typically, cultural beliefs will look something like this:
:''"Like others in his culture, he holds craftsdwarfship to be of the highest ideals and celebrates talented artisans and their masterwork, has a great deal of respect for the law, values family greatly, sees friendship as one of the finer things in life, believes that honesty is a high ideal, greatly respect artists and their work, really respects those that take the time to master a skill, deeply respect those who work hard at their labors, respects fair-dealing and fair-play, values cooperation, finds merrymaking and partying worthwhile activities, values martial prowess, values leisure time, respects commerce and finds nature somewhat disturbing."'' Certain beliefs can conflict with personality facets.

===Personal beliefs===
Below the cultural beliefs are the individual beliefs, beliefs the creature holds that go against their "typical" culture.

==Goals==
{{main|Personality trait#Goals}}
Some creatures dream of accomplishing certain goals in their life, and these goals can presumably affect their behavior. If a creature has such dreams, they will be listed in the Thoughts and Preferences page. If said goal has actually been fulfilled, the description will include "and this dream was realized". They will also get a strong happy thought upon completing it. {{verify}}

==Facets==
{{main|Personality trait#Facets}}
A dwarf's personality facets affect a lot of things. A nervous wreck of a [[wood cutter]] would be very quick to become unhappy if they are unlucky enough to be ambushed by a foe while felling a tree, even if they come out on top in the ensuing encounter. Some are truly meaningless ("she always takes a deep breath whenever she is surprised"), but many affect how the dwarf works and relates to others. Affects how and what [[social skill]]s they train.

While not a true personality facet, if the dwarf has become desensitized to tragedy, that will be mentioned at the end of this section of their profile, through the lines, "He/She is getting used to tragedy," "He/She is a hardened individual," or for full desensitization, "He/She doesn't really care about anything anymore."

==Needs==
{{main|Need}}
Needs are similar to [[thoughts]], except they affect focus (which has to do with productivity and combat effectiveness) rather than with the risk of tantrums.
Dwarves become unfocused if their needs are not met, and individual dwarves have different needs depending on their particular beliefs.
Needs that are unmet for long enough become bad [[thoughts]].

{{av}}
The most detailed screen in the [[profile]] is the '''thoughts and preferences''' screen, accessible with {{k|u}}-{{k|v}}-{{k|Enter}} or {{k|v}}-{{k|z}}-{{k|Enter}}. It gives you a detailed breakdown of your dwarves' happiness and [[thought]]s, familial status, [[civilization]] membership, age and date of birth, physical descriptors (and [[wound]]s), physical [[attribute]]s, [[preference]]s, mental attributes, and [[personality trait]]s, in that order. All dwarves have two pieces of their profiles in common: "He/she needs [[alcohol]] to get through the working day" (indicating that all dwarves are alcoholics), amongst their personality traits, and "A short sturdy creature fond of work and industry" at the end of the screen (this is actually the dwarf's tagline, and will appear at the beginning for all other [[creature]]s). Non-citizens have profiles too, although these are far less detailed, only giving physical characteristics, wounds, and their tagline.

The thoughts and preferences screen cannot be seen in the [[object testing arena]].

[[File:preference_preview.png|thumb|350px|center|Thoughts and preferences of Kadôl Istbarmonom, a herbalist.]]

==Thoughts==
{{main|Thoughts}}
This first section is in grey, with extremely recent thoughts in white. It may be preceded by either a white quote from the dwarf or a coloured note about their emotional status (eg. dark red for Enraged) or stress level. Stress level is invisible to the player until stress starts to bother the dwarf, at which point they start flashing the downward red arrow of unhappiness and may cancel jobs in order to space out. These temporary breaks from reality can turn into permanent insanity if the sources of the dwarf's unhappiness are not removed.

Emotional reactions are loosely colour-coded, with positive thoughts being in blue or green and strong negative thoughts being in red or yellow. Brown thoughts are mildly to moderately negative, and purple and grey ones are pretty much neutral. Positive thoughts lower stress level, and negative thoughts raise it.

==Familial status==
Family [[relationship]]s are special in that they get special mention in the dwarves' thoughts and preferences, in light blue. This section will list spouses, children, and parents, in that order. It will also include any objects of [[deity|worship]].

==Civilization membership==
{{main|Civilization}}
This section will list first the civilizations that the dwarf has entered or left, and at the end will give their date of arrival at your fortress. This section is static, and most important when hunting for [[vampire]]s, which will almost always have excessively long (10+) civilization memberships. Most dwarves have at most five items on this screen, which is in blue.

==Age and date of birth==
This section is in yellow, and is fairly self-explanatory. [[Age]] is mostly irrelevant, but will tell you how close babies are to becoming [[children]], children to adults, and how long it is before elderly dwarves pass away from old age.

{{creaturedesc}}

'''Ostriches''' are flightless [[Creature|birds]] who inhabit [[desert]]s, [[tropical]] [[savanna]]s and tropical [[grassland]]s, appearing in groups of anywhere between 1 to 10 individuals. They are a half again as large as the average [[dwarf]] but are completely benign, doing little but meandering the area cluelessly. They will normally flee when attacked, but if enraged they may attempt to defend themselves, preferably with kick attacks. Male ostriches are called ''ostrich cocks'', while females are called ''ostrich hens''.

Ostriches can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s. They produce a good quantity of products when [[butcher]]ed and lay a fairly high amount of [[egg]]s if placed in a [[nest box]]; these traits combine to make them good choices to serve as the basis for [[egg production]] and a [[meat industry]]. Among the large ratite birds in the game (ostriches, [[emu]]s and [[Cassowary|cassowaries]]), ostriches are by far the largest, though they may not live as long as a cassowary. Ostriches appear to be the smallest creature to yield either [[feather]]s or [[gizzard stone]]s when butchered.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] ostriches for their ''long necks'' and their ''giant eggs''.

{{av}}

[[File:preference_preview.png|thumb|650px|right|Thoughts and preferences of Kadôl Istbarmonom, a herbalist.]]
'''Preferences''' are [[material]]s, [[creature]]s, or objects described as being liked by a dwarf in their '[[thoughts and preferences]]' tab, accessible for example with {{k|u}}-{{k|v}}-{{k|enter}}.

== Possible Objects of Affection or Revulsion ==
A given dwarf may display many, a few, or (theoretically) even none of these preferences.

Each unit's preferences consist of the following:

* Various materials:
** a random type of [[stone]]
** a random type of [[metal]]
** a random type of [[gem]]
** 1/5 chance of a random type of [[wood]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of [[glass]]
** 1/3 chance of a random type of [[leather]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of [[horn]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of [[pearl]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of [[ivory]]
** 1/15 chance of a random decoration material - [[coral]] or [[amber]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of [[bone]]
** 1/14 chance of a random type of [[shell]]
** 1/14 chance of a random type of [[silk]]
** 1/14 chance of a random type of [[yarn]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of plant [[cloth]]
* 1/2 chance of a random [[color]]
* 1/5 chance of a random [[shape]]
* Various types of items:
** 1/3 chance of a random [[weapon]] (4/5) or [[ammo]] (1/5) (1% exotic)
** 1/3 chance of a random [[armor piece|piece of armor]] (1% exotic)
** 1/7 chance of a random piece of [[clothing]] (including [[backpack]]s or [[quiver]]s) (1% exotic)
** 1/3 chance of a random type of [[furniture]] - [[door]]s, [[floodgate]]s, [[bed]]s, [[chair]]s, [[window]]s, [[cage]]s, [[barrel]]s, [[table]]s, [[coffin]]s, [[statue]]s, [[box]]es, [[armor stand]]s, [[weapon rack]]s, [[cabinet]]s, [[bin]]s, [[hatch cover]]s, [[grate]]s, [[quern]]s, [[millstone]]s, [[traction bench]]es, or [[slab]]s
** 1/3 chance of a random craft - [[figurine]]s, [[Finished goods|amulets, scepters, crowns, rings, earrings, bracelets]], or large [[gem]]s
** 1/3 chance of a random miscellaneous item - [[catapult part]]s, [[ballista part]]s, a type of [[siege ammo]] (1% exotic), a [[trap component]] (1% exotic), [[coin]]s, [[anvil]]s, [[totem]]s (20% chance), [[chain]]s, [[flask]]s, [[goblet]]s, [[bucket]]s, [[animal trap]]s, an [[instrument]] (1% exotic), a [[toy]] (1% exotic), [[splint]]s, [[crutch]]es, or a [[tool]] (1% exotic)
* Various types of [[food]]:
** 1/2 chance of a random type of [[meat]]
** 1/3 chance of a random type of [[fish]]
** 1/10 chance of a random type of [[cheese]]
** 1/7 chance of a random type of edible [[plant]]
** a random type of [[alcohol]]
** 1/7 chance of a random cookable plant/creature [[extract]]
** 1/5 chance of a random cookable mill powder
** 1/7 chance of a random cookable plant [[seed]]
** 1/7 chance of a random cookable plant [[quarry bush|leaf]]
* Various [[creature]]s:
** 1/2 chance of a random [[domestic animal]]
** 1/2 chance of a random non-domestic [[creature]] with a {{token|PREFSTRING}} (excluding one's own race, [[wagon]]s, [[werebeast]]s, [[forgotten beast]]s, [[titan]]s, [[angel]]s and unique [[demon]]s)
* detesting a random type of [[hateable]] vermin (which isn't already explicitly liked)
* 1/50 chance of a random type of [[tree]]
* 1/10 chance of a random type of [[plant]]

==Food==
Every dwarf will like at least one type of booze and may like none to several food ingredients. Dwarves are more likely to get happy thoughts from eating food and drinking booze they like, since it boosts the meal's effective value.

==Work==
A dwarf's preferences (and disliked vermin) tend to feature in any artwork the dwarf makes, more often than subjects not listed in their profile. For example, a mason that likes [[cow]]s for their haunting moos and absolutely detests [[bat]]s will make statues of both. This is presumably out of love for cows and horrified fascination for bats.

==Benefits to Productivity==
A dwarf working with a material they like or creating items they like will produce higher-[[quality]] goods. For example, a [[mechanic]] that likes olivine will generally make better [[olivine]] mechanisms than [[granite]] ones. This is most important during [[embark]], when individual personality profiles and skills can be best matched up according to your specifications. For example, make the dwarf that likes [[bed]]s your [[carpenter]] and the dwarf that likes gold your [[blacksmith]]. [[armorsmith|Urist McLikesbreastplates]] would be a good candidate for Armorsmith. This works less well later on, with immigrants, as it is usually more advantageous to train up the great armorsmith than the novice armorsmith who likes steel.

==Value Considerations==
It has been noted that preferences have an effect on how dwarves perceive the value of a [[room]] and [[furniture]], though the exact details are not yet known.

A mason who likes horses will often make statues of one or two horses, or even statues of themselves admiring horses. This can be great if the mason is chronically depressed: surround their bed with images they like, and they will be happier.

If your [[monarch]] absolutely detests large roaches, a ☼[[platinum]] [[statue]] of a [[large roach]]☼ in their [[bedroom]] will not count fully towards the noble's room value requirement (although they'll still admire it without complaining about the subject matter).{{cite rev|212039}} This problem can be avoided by carefully selecting the statue that is going to be built by e{{k|x}}panding the material selection menu.

Since images will feature both objects the worker likes and dislikes, engravings and other images featuring various vermin can't be avoided entirely, but they're generally not frequent enough to cause notable problems.

==Nobles==

Nobles only give [[mandate]]s and [[demand]]s that accord with their preferences. For this reason, a good way to ameliorate the annoying effects of nobles is to nominate a [[baron]] who has no preferences for anything craftable. This baron won't issue any mandates or demands!

Russ3Z: grammar fixes

{{stub}}

'''Experiments''' {{Tile|A|4:1}}-{{Tile|Z|2:1}} are procedurally-generated [[night creature]]s, "created" by [[necromancer]]s or certain [[demon|goblin leaders]] who experiment on captured citizens and livestock.

==Characteristics==
[[File:flesh_construct.png|thumb|270px|right|A flesh construct, a common experimental creature in the realm of fantasy.]]Experiments are not born as such, but are turned by the experimenter. There are failed experiments and successful experiments, with the latter coming in many forms, depending on the source material. Every experimenter may create up to four "species" of experiment: one humanoid, one small quadruped+, one large quadruped+, and one giant amalgamation. The giant amalgamation is created from multiple creatures, instead of just one, and is, as its name suggests, very large. Failed experiments, meanwhile, often come in the form of blobs, worms, snakes and wyrms. Experiments sometimes escape into the wild, and intelligent ones can rejoin civilization. In the latter case, they may become playable race options in [[adventurer mode]].

Despite their various forms, all experiments possess certain uniform traits. They are [[fanciful]] creatures who do not require any form of sustenance, sport an immunity to [[No Pain|pain]], [[No Exert|exertion]], [[No Stun|stunning]], nausea, fevers or dizziness, and can survive both on land and [[Water|underwater]]. Experiments are also [[building destroyer]]s, are [[Trapavoid|unaffected by traps]], and may be generated with the ability to secrete extracts which can inflict [[Syndrome|night sickness]].

Their size varies depending on the type of experiment, with the smaller ones being comparable to a [[dwarf]], larger quadrupeds being around the size of a [[horse]] or [[yak]], and amalgamations being almost as large as a [[giant]]. All experiments appear to be associated with the [[sphere]]s of deformity and night.

Unlike other night creatures, experiments are represented by regular alphabet letters, upper or lower case indicating size. Intelligent successful experiments are colored red, while failed creations and any others (quadrupeds, amalgamations etc.) are colored green. The name of the experimenter will always be included in the experiment's species name and in their description, crediting them for their creation.

Dwarves will never have a [[preference]] for experiments, as they possess no {{token|PREFSTRING}}. They have an unused [[pet]] value of 2,000.

{{D for Dwarf}}
Amalgamations are known to be attracted by the smell of [[potato]] chips.

Russ3Z: Military Tactics or Tactician?

Does this skill increase with sucessful raids? And, can you train it outside of raids?
[[User:Erana Reborn|Erana Reborn]] ([[User talk:Erana Reborn|talk]]) 18:19, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

==Military tactics or Tactician?==
As the section header says, I've seen the "Tactician" skill available in the Embark screen, but not "Military tactics". Are these two different things, or was one changed to the other? [[User:Russ3Z|Russ3Z]] ([[User talk:Russ3Z|talk]]) 01:48, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Russ3Z: /* Skills */ added the "Schemer" skill to Miscellaneous section - does it belong elsewhere?

''See also: [[Combat skill]]''

'''Skills''' are used by [[dwarves]] to accomplish almost every task in the game. Higher levels of a skill allow a dwarf to accomplish the respective task more quickly and/or more effectively. Whenever a skill is used, [[experience]] is gained for that skill, allowing the dwarf to progress to higher skill levels. [[Creatures]] aside from dwarves may also possess skills that match what species they are (e.g. [[cat]]s and [[monkey]]s having legendary skill in climbing).

If a dwarf does not use a skill for a prolonged period of time, the skill will be labeled "rusty." If the rusty skill continues to remain unused, it will eventually be labeled "very rusty," or "V rusty" in-game. Skills remaining at 'very rusty' for prolonged periods of time will gradually suffer permanent experience loss. It is not possible to know in-game whether a given skill has suffered level loss, but any utility capable of reading exact XP levels will show a skill with a lost level as being at 100% of the XP required to take it to the next skill level. See [[#Skill rust|Rust]] below for more details.

To determine what skills a dwarf has, press {{K|v}} and highlight the dwarf, then press {{K|g}} to ensure you are on the general information page. The skills will be grouped into three toggleable types: {{K|c}}ombat, la{{K|b}}or and {{K|m}}iscellaneous skills. Included on the list are the levels of each skill, and, if applicable, "rusty" or "V rusty" notifications.

== Skills in use ==
[[File:blink_preview.gif|thumb|208px|right|Blinking legendary dwarves.]] Skills are never referred to in-game by "level number", but for all practical purposes, that is how they are treated by the game. "Dabbling" is not functionally a level, with "Novice" being level 1, and "Legendary" being any level 15 and up.

All skills take (400 + 100 * the new level) experience points to gain a level, meaning Novice takes 500 experience points, and reaching Legendary from Grand Master takes 1900 experience points, or 18000 total experience.

Many skills can gain practical levels beyond level 15, or "Legendary". Crafting skills with quality have a functional maximum of level 20, or "Legendary +5" as it is often called. This is used in determining [[item quality]], where skill level is tested with a series of "dice rolls" against successively higher targets. A Legendary +5 dwarf has a skill level of 20, which means they are guaranteed exceptional quality (quality level 4) unless they "critically fail" one of the quality rolls, and they additionally have a fairly decent percentage roll to succeed at making a masterwork. As legendary levels increase, the odds of obtaining a less than exceptional craft decrease, and masterwork is a flat 1/3rd chance (and 10 higher on the roll). Raw rolls still increase linearly. [[Attributes]] and [[trait]]s now play a role in crafting, however, so there are subtle layers of complexity in that.

Labors with or without quality often have a time period associated with them, and skill levels reduce this significantly. Legendary +5 can eliminate all time required to do a job down to a single action, exponentially increasing productivity.

Combat skills can scale upwards to a functionally impossible-to-reach degree, meaning that simply reaching Legendary in a combat skill only means they've just started climbing the ranks of the legendary warriors of ''Dwarf Fortress''. A Legendary +100 warrior will hit more regularly and deal more damage than a "mere" Legendary +10, although it takes nearly three-quarters of a million more experience points to get there.

==Skill penalties==
Dwarves that are [[status icon|hungry, tired, or thirsty]] will work slower and produce lower-quality goods. The latter is unimportant for some tasks, such as [[wood cutting]] or [[furnace operating]], but you may want to halt construction of, say, [[platinum]] [[statue]]s or [[steel]] [[armor|breastplates]], if the [[smith]] forging them is famished or hollow-eyed from lack of sleep.

==Skills, attributes and traits==
*'''Skills and [[attribute]]s''':
**.. are both trained by being used in activities they relate to.
**.. both influence future success of these activities, like craft quality, work speed, combat survivability, accuracy and damage.
**The dwarf's profession is determined by their highest-ranking skill group.
**crafting skills are increased by [[preferences]], but capped, so the dwarf will make items beyond their skill level, but won't affect the chances of making more high-value items at the highest skill level.{{verify}}
**The dwarf's highest moodable skill determines potential artifact types during a [[strange mood]].

*'''[[Personality trait|Traits]]''':
**can be changed (at least beliefs change through arguments).
**affect which [[social skill]]s gain experience ''(if the dwarf has X trait it will not gain experience in X skill)'' at all.
**give [[thought]]s when performing certain activities.
**influence choice of [[artifact]] materials.

To summarize, it goes like this:

Thought <--triggers-- Activity ----trains----> Attribute
^ ,----------| |
modifies modifies trains increases
| ,--------' | |
| v v v
Trait --influences--> Skill --increases--> Dwarf performance
| ,---------|
item item |
material type determines
| ,--------' |
v v v
Artifact <--chosen-- Profession
dwarf

Since the same skills can be used by various professions, and the same [[attribute]]s are trained by various skills, this allows for [[cross-training]].

As [[Personality trait|traits]] can limit learning some skills, which can be required by some Noble positions, the need arises to:
*avoid appointing a dwarf that will never learn a certain skill to a Noble position that uses it:
**''appointing a [[Personality trait|straightforward]] dwarf as a [[broker]] will result in a [[consoler]], non-[[flatterer]], non-[[liar]] broker''.
*appoint a dwarf with a useful effect given by a [[Personality trait|trait]] to a profession that benefits from it:
**''appointing an [[Personality trait|undisciplined]] dwarf to an important job will result in [[fun|fun]]''.
**''appointing an [[Personality trait|angry]] dwarf to [[soldier]] will result in more [[Status_icon|enraged]] bonuses.

==Skill rust==
Every skill has the following set of improvement and decay counters, which are caste specific:

{{token|SKILL_RATE|c}} (Default is {{token|SKILL_RATE|cr|100:8:16:16}})
* % of improvement points you get (Default 100)
* unused counter rate (Default 8)
* rust counter rate (Default 16)
* demotion counter rate (Default 16)

The unused counter starts incrementing while a dwarf isn't using a skill. Once it reaches the cap, it will reset to zero, and the rust counter rate will increment by 1. This continues until the rust counter's cap is reached, and then the demotion counter is incremented by 1, and the rust counter is reset to zero. When the demotion counter finally reaches its cap, a 'layer' of rust is added to the skill, and the demotion counter is reset to zero.

The {{DFtext|Rusty}} and {{DFtext|V.Rusty}} descriptions which are appended to a skill within Dwarf Fortress are determined by the following conditions:

*Rusty: A skill level greater than 0 and less than 4, and the skill level * 0.5 <= the number of rust layers.
*Very Rusty: A skill level greater than or equal to 4, and the skill level * 0.75 <= the number of rust layers.

For example, a level 3 skill with 4 layers of rust: 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 which is less than the 4 layers of rust, so it's a Rusty skill. A level 8 with 6 layers of rust: 8 * 0.75 = 6 which is equal to the layers of rust, so it's a Very Rusty skill.

In testing it appears that the layers of rust are limited to a maximum of 6. If the counters reach the maximum and it attempts to increase to a 7th layer of rust, all counters are stopped, and the 'Rusty' and 'V. Rusty' descriptions are erroneously removed from the skill descriptions within ''Dwarf Fortress''.

==Performances==

Randomly generated musical [[instrument]]s and musical compositions are also considered skills and gain experience from use, though it is not clear how greater skill levels affect anything or if these performance-related skills rust.

Priest

Russ3Z: spelling

{{av}}
==Adventurer Mode==
Priests appear in many [[Human]] and [[Goblin]] settlements, even those captured by and incorporated into civilizations of other races. They will either worship the civilization's official object of worship, or one aligned with the civilization's pantheon or [[Sphere]].

High Priests are the leaders of the local religious sect and have distinct, idiosyncratic, yet thematic titles, such as "High Dessert." If no High Priest resides in the settlement, any priests present, and most citizens, will be members of a neighboring religious sect. High Priests in goblin fortresses are likely to be goblins, even if the rest of the population is supplanted by other races.

If a [[Temple]] is in the settlement, there will be a local sect, and a living High Priest, at least at the end of worldgen. Priests will be found wandering inside during the day, though in human towns, some may wander to visit a local tavern, mead hall, or keep, many return to their homes for lunch, and some may work as shopkeepers. In such towns, priests will also return home to sleep, while in goblin fortresses priests will sleep within the temple.

==Fortress Mode==

After more than ten worshippers of a given religion reside in your fort, they may demand the establishment of a temple to their deity. Once that temple has been erected and its minimum wealth requirements met, you will have the opportunity to appoint a high priest from your citizens.

Priests may be among the participants of [[ambush]]es and [[siege]]s.

Horn

Russ3Z: fix run-on sentence

{{Quality|Superior|21:42, 9 July 2013 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
[[File:animal_horn.png|thumb|130px|right|Its piercing days are over.]]'''Horn''' is the generic name for both the hooves and horns of animals. In ''Dwarf Fortress'', hooves and horns are functionally identical once stripped from their previous owners. Both are obtained by [[Butcher's shop|butchering]] certain animals, although horns are often only present on the male members of a particular species. In certain cases, horns may also be referred to as antlers, as is the case with [[elk]]. They can either be carved into horn [[crafts]], or used to [[decoration|decorate]] existing crafts at the [[craftsdwarf's workshop]]; doing so uses the [[bone carver]] labor.

{{catbox|DF2014:Hoof}}{{catbox}}

Creatures with horns and hooves can be very formidable in combat, especially since most of them are several times larger than your average dwarf - they have the ability to cave in skulls or bruise internal organs. It is best to approach all hoof/horn-wielding creatures with caution.

== Adventure mode remarks ==

It seems that bone carving skill doesn't empower you to carve [[troll]] horns even in 44.05 version.

Mount

2020-02-23T18:19:15Z

Russ3Z: /* Adventurer Mode */ link "Rider" skill

{{Quality|Superior|11:21, 18 May 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}{{catbox|DF2014:Mount}}
<onlyinclude>
Enemies in [[siege]]s will often arrive riding on other [[creature]]s, their '''mounts'''. These mounts can not only add to the attacks of those mounted on them, but may also give their riders more abilities: their mounts might be able to [[flying|fly]] or [[swimmer|swim]], might be [[building destroyer]]s, might prevent the operation of [[bridge]]s, might be faster and fleeter of foot, or might just be plain scary in combat.
</onlyinclude>
== Types ==

Enemy [[squad]]s can appear with a single mount for the squad [[captain]] or individual mounts for each member of the squad (potentially including more than one species of mount). Some mounts such as [[giant bat]]s or [[giant cave swallow]]s possess the ability to fly, pathing over whatever walls and traps you have set up for them. This can lead to a great deal of [[fun]] if you do not have sufficient marksdwarves to deal with them. Some siegers also come on amphibious mounts, such as [[cave crocodile]]s and [[giant toad]]s. Humorously, these units will disregard their rider's inability to breathe underwater or [[swimmer|swim]], and reports of amphibious mounts pathing into [[moat]]s or [[river]]s, only to have their goblin riders drown, are fairly common.{{Bug|926}}

There are three types of mounts: ordinary mounts ridden by [[human]]s; above-ground (or "good") exotic mounts ridden by [[Elf|elves]]; and underground (or "evil") exotic mounts ridden by [[goblin]]s. There are many creatures that have {{token|MOUNT}} or {{token|MOUNT_EXOTIC}} in their raw files, but below are some of the most common when an army besieges your fortress.

== Who rides what ==

* [[Goblin]] sieges have been known to ride [[elk bird]]s, [[giant cave swallow]]s, [[giant olm]]s, [[giant bat]]s, [[cave crocodile]]s, [[rutherer]]s, [[jabberer]]s, [[blind cave bear]]s, and [[voracious cave crawler]]s. These are usually the only sieges where you need to worry about enemies flying into your fortress from above.

* [[Elf|Elves]] prefer arriving on foot, but when they do ride mounts, they usually use the dreaded [[unicorn]], as well as various big cats. It is theoretically possible for them to arrive riding any exotic land animal, such as [[elephant]]s, [[tiger]]s, [[unicorn]]s, or even [[giant mantis]]es. Because of this, be prepared for an occasional flying mount when elves besiege your fortress.

* [[Human]] sieges will come riding [[camel]]s (of both varieties), [[horse]]s, and [[grizzly bear]]s, in addition to bringing along squads of trained war animals, like [[giant cheetah]]s.

* [[Dwarf|Dwarves]] may field cavalry similar to human and goblin forces (should they have the luck to domesticate something,) Prior to version 0.44.01 the player would need to mod the game in order to experience this, as the ability for dwarves to declare war on the player was added in this version. Playing below 0.44.01 requires a modded game allowing for the player to play as a race other than dwarves.

Beyond acting like a force multiplier, dead mounts can be butchered after the battle to feed your [[meat industry]]. A squad of cave dragons that is killed and hauled back inside your fort will produce a ''lot'' of meat products, making mounted sieges convenient food resupplies, if you are prepared to handle them that is. Note that goblins only have a single animal trainer, their general; if he falls (or, because of a bug, leaves the map), you will never see mounted goblin units again.

Note that in the vanilla game, playable civs ''cannot'' under any circumstances, field cavalry in fortress mode in the current version; this is regardless of race, not just dwarves.

== Adventurer Mode ==
{{New in|0.47.01}}
It is possible for adventurers and their companions to make use of mounts, which may be taken in character generation or acquired over the course of the game. To climb onto (or off of) a mount press {{k|h}} while standing next to it. This can be quite advantageous, as animals that are appropriate as mounts are generally very large and therefore quite dangerous in combat. They also allow you to travel faster, and may also allow you to outrun enemies that would otherwise be impossible to catch (or escape from.) Mounted creatures still have minds of their own however, and may panic and run away or decide to attack at inopportune times. The [[Rider]] skill seems to affect how likely this is to happen, but further verification is required.

== Bugs ==
* Amphibian invader mounts drown their riders. {{Bug|926}}

Russ3Z: add the "Rider" skill

{{Quality|Masterwork|11:43, 21 April 2018 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
''See also: [[Combat skill]]''

'''Skills''' are used by [[dwarves]] to accomplish almost every task in the game. Higher levels of a skill allow a dwarf to accomplish the respective task more quickly and/or more effectively. Whenever a skill is used, [[experience]] is gained for that skill, allowing the dwarf to progress to higher skill levels. [[Creatures]] aside from dwarves may also possess skills that match what species they are (e.g. [[cat]]s and [[monkey]]s having legendary skill in climbing).

If a dwarf does not use a skill for a prolonged period of time, the skill will be labeled "rusty." If the rusty skill continues to remain unused, it will eventually be labeled "very rusty," or "V rusty" in-game. Skills remaining at 'very rusty' for prolonged periods of time will gradually suffer permanent experience loss. It is not possible to know in-game whether a given skill has suffered level loss, but any utility capable of reading exact XP levels will show a skill with a lost level as being at 100% of the XP required to take it to the next skill level. See [[#Skill rust|Rust]] below for more details.

To determine what skills a dwarf has, press {{K|v}} and highlight the dwarf, then press {{K|g}} to ensure you are on the general information page. The skills will be grouped into three toggleable types: {{K|c}}ombat, la{{K|b}}or and {{K|m}}iscellaneous skills. Included on the list are the levels of each skill, and, if applicable, "rusty" or "V rusty" notifications.

== Skills in use ==
[[File:blink_preview.gif|thumb|208px|right|Blinking legendary dwarves.]] Skills are never referred to in-game by "level number", but for all practical purposes, that is how they are treated by the game. "Dabbling" is not functionally a level, with "Novice" being level 1, and "Legendary" being any level 15 and up.

All skills take (400 + 100 * the new level) experience points to gain a level, meaning Novice takes 500 experience points, and reaching Legendary from Grand Master takes 1900 experience points, or 18000 total experience.

Many skills can gain practical levels beyond level 15, or "Legendary". Crafting skills with quality have a functional maximum of level 20, or "Legendary +5" as it is often called. This is used in determining [[item quality]], where skill level is tested with a series of "dice rolls" against successively higher targets. A Legendary +5 dwarf has a skill level of 20, which means they are guaranteed exceptional quality (quality level 4) unless they "critically fail" one of the quality rolls, and they additionally have a fairly decent percentage roll to succeed at making a masterwork. As legendary levels increase, the odds of obtaining a less than exceptional craft decrease, and masterwork is a flat 1/3rd chance (and 10 higher on the roll). Raw rolls still increase linearly. [[Attributes]] and [[trait]]s now play a role in crafting, however, so there are subtle layers of complexity in that.

Labors with or without quality often have a time period associated with them, and skill levels reduce this significantly. Legendary +5 can eliminate all time required to do a job down to a single action, exponentially increasing productivity.

Combat skills can scale upwards to a functionally impossible-to-reach degree, meaning that simply reaching Legendary in a combat skill only means they've just started climbing the ranks of the legendary warriors of ''Dwarf Fortress''. A Legendary +100 warrior will hit more regularly and deal more damage than a "mere" Legendary +10, although it takes nearly three-quarters of a million more experience points to get there.

==Skill penalties==
Dwarves that are [[status icon|hungry, tired, or thirsty]] will work slower and produce lower-quality goods. The latter is unimportant for some tasks, such as [[wood cutting]] or [[furnace operating]], but you may want to halt construction of, say, [[platinum]] [[statue]]s or [[steel]] [[armor|breastplates]], if the [[smith]] forging them is famished or hollow-eyed from lack of sleep.

==Skills, attributes and traits==
*'''Skills and [[attribute]]s''':
**.. are both trained by being used in activities they relate to.
**.. both influence future success of these activities, like craft quality, work speed, combat survivability, accuracy and damage.
**The dwarf's profession is determined by their highest-ranking skill group.
**crafting skills are increased by [[preferences]], but capped, so the dwarf will make items beyond their skill level, but won't affect the chances of making more high-value items at the highest skill level.{{verify}}
**The dwarf's highest moodable skill determines potential artifact types during a [[strange mood]].

*'''[[Personality trait|Traits]]''':
**can be changed (at least beliefs change through arguments).
**affect which [[social skill]]s gain experience ''(if the dwarf has X trait it will not gain experience in X skill)'' at all.
**give [[thought]]s when performing certain activities.
**influence choice of Artifact materials.

To summarize it goes like this:

Thought <--triggers-- Activity ----trains----> Attribute
^ ,----------| |
modifies modifies trains increases
| ,--------' | |
| v v v
Trait --influences--> Skill --increases--> Dwarf performance
| ,---------|
item item |
material type determines
| ,--------' |
v v v
Artifact <--chosen-- Profession
dwarf

Since the same skills can be used by various professions, and the same [[attribute]]s are trained by various skills, this allows for [[cross-training]].

As [[Personality trait|traits]] can limit learning some skills, which can be required by some Noble positions, the need arises to:
*avoid appointing a dwarf that will never learn a certain skill to a Noble position that uses it:
**''appointing a [[Personality trait|straightforward]] dwarf as a [[broker]] will result in a [[consoler]], non-[[flatterer]], non-[[liar]] broker''.
*appoint a dwarf with a useful effect given by a [[Personality trait|trait]] to a profession that benefits from it:
**''appointing an [[Personality trait|undisciplined]] dwarf to an important job will result in [[fun|fun]]''.
**''appointing an [[Personality trait|angry]] dwarf to [[soldier]] will result in more [[Status_icon|enraged]] bonuses.

==Skill rust==
Every skill has the following set of improvement and decay counters, which are caste specific:

{{token|SKILL_RATE|c}} (Default is {{token|SKILL_RATE|cr|100:8:16:16}})
* % of improvement points you get (Default 100)
* unused counter rate (Default 8)
* rust counter rate (Default 16)
* demotion counter rate (Default 16)

The unused counter starts incrementing while a dwarf isn't using a skill. Once it reaches the cap, it will reset to zero, and the rust counter rate will increment by 1. This continues until the rust counter's cap is reached, and then the demotion counter is incremented by 1, and the rust counter is reset to zero. When the demotion counter finally reaches its cap, a 'layer' of rust is added to the skill, and the demotion counter is reset to zero.

The {{DFtext|Rusty}} and {{DFtext|V.Rusty}} descriptions which are appended to a skill within Dwarf Fortress are determined by the following conditions:

*Rusty: A skill level greater than 0 and less than 4, and the skill level * 0.5 <= the number of rust layers.
*Very Rusty: A skill level greater than or equal to 4, and the skill level * 0.75 <= the number of rust layers.

For example, a level 3 skill with 4 layers of rust: 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 which is less than the 4 layers of rust, so it's a Rusty skill. A level 8 with 6 layers of rust: 8 * 0.75 = 6 which is equal to the layers of rust, so it's a Very Rusty skill.

In testing it appears that the layers of rust are limited to a maximum of 6. If the counters reach the maximum and it attempts to increase to a 7th layer of rust, all counters are stopped, and the 'Rusty' and 'V. Rusty' descriptions are erroneously removed from the skill descriptions within ''Dwarf Fortress''.

==Performances==

Randomly generated musical [[instrument]]s and musical compositions are also considered skills and gain experience from use, though it is not clear how greater skill levels affect anything or if these performance-related skills rust.

Russ3Z: /* Bugs */

{{quality|exceptional}}
{{av}}
{{Translation

}}
'''Trees''' are a multi-[[tile]] feature that can be found aboveground on all but the most arid or mountainous of maps, and below ground in the [[cavern]]s. The types of trees that grow in a given location depend on that location's [[biome]], as different species prefer different conditions. For example, tropical areas often have palm trees, while colder areas feature pines. Underground trees such as [[nether-cap]]s are an exception, as they will grow anywhere underground. The species of a tree in turn determines its properties, including its structure, the color and density of its wood and what kind of growths it produces. Note also that "trees" in ''Dwarf Fortress'' also covers things that are not actually trees, such as palms, cacti, large herbaceous plants (e.g. [[banana]]s), and large mushrooms (underground trees).

Trees are used as a source of [[wood]], an essential resource in the game, irreplaceable (or hard to replace) for some applications. Thus, the amount of local trees greatly affects fortress development, as without a ready source of wood, the player will be forced to rely on [[trade]] to get it. Tree growth density on the embark site is determined by its [[biome]], so it's displayed with the rest of the biome properties (temperature, etc.) on the "Choose Fortress Location" screen at [[embark]].

[[File:trees_many.jpg|thumb|320px|right|Beautiful, until turned into tables. Then they're even more beautiful.]]

== Structure ==
[[File:Tree animated.gif|thumb|Animation of all z-levels of an [[Apricot]] tree]]
Trees consist of several types of tiles - '''roots''', '''trunk''' sections, '''thick branches''', '''branches''', and '''twigs''', that may be covered in a number of "growths" (leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, cones, etc.), depending on species and season. A single tree is a structure that can span multiple tiles of each type in both horizontal and vertical directions. For example, a typical deciduous tree will have a single tile-wide trunk at ground level supporting a multiple-level crown of intertwined trunk sections, branches and twigs covered with leaves. Not all species follow the same scheme, though - palms have a high, naked trunk that doesn't branch and just a tuft of leaves on top of it, and some species can have trunks that are thicker than a single tile at ground level. Trees also have an underground system of roots, but there is only one kind of root tile and the extent of the root system doesn't seem to vary with species.

Graphically, vertical 1×1 trunk sections resemble wooden columns {{tile|O|6:0}}. The thicker trunks (2×2 and 3×3) are represented by rounded double-line structures. Above the first ground level the trunk may branch out, producing horizontal trunk sections that resemble wooden [[wall]]s {{tile|║|6:0}}. These can peter out into thick branches {{tile|│|6:0}} or end directly with branches {{tile|¼|2:0}}. The branches can extend further out, ending with twigs {{tile|;|2:0}}. A vertical trunk end, if not covered with a branch, is represented by a pointed cap {{tile|⌂|6:0}}.

Root tiles ({{tile|¼|6:0}}) overlap a number of underground tiles below each tree. They can be designated for digging, but because they usually use the same brown color as the mining designation rectangle, the designation is not evident (the only exceptions are trees with white roots). Some trees can have multiple tiles of roots, others just the one{{verify}}.

There are exceptions to the description above. [[Saguaro]]s don't have any leafy branches or twigs, just a trunk and thick branches. Mushroom cap trees that grow in the caverns underground don't have branches - instead they have a '''cap'''
consisting of ramps that can be walked up on.

Trees can be [[climb]]ed in both fortress and [[adventurer mode]]. In densely wooded areas, the overlapping tree crowns can form a continuous canopy that can be traversed by walking, climbing and/or jumping. Both thick and regular branches provide a floor-like support for walking. Twigs are too frail to support the weight of a dwarf, but they can be climbed through and jumped over. All kinds of trunk tiles are treated as solid barriers, except trunk tips - they can be climbed through and jumped over like twigs.

On ground level, tree trunks are obstacles that prevent [[channel]]ing or the creation of [[wall]]s and other [[construction]]s on their tiles. This is problematic for caravan [[wagon]]s, which require a path at least three tiles wide in order to access your fortress; on heavily forested maps it may be necessary to check [[trade depot|depot]] access ({{k|D}}) every once in a while as trees continue to grow to make sure wagons can get through, and chop down ({{k|d}}-{{k|t}}) the impeding forest if they can't. Later on this can actually become a blessing, as if there is only one or a few pathways to the fortress it makes it easier to route incoming caravans down certain well-defended pathways, instead of allowing them to choose their own way across the map, where they may fall foul of ambushers or worse. It also makes building above-ground constructions more challenging, as any trees in the way must be chopped down first.

=== Growths ===
Growths are the things that grow ''on'' a tree, i.e. they are not an essential part of the tree's structure and can be shed or picked without destroying the tree. This includes leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, seed pods, catkins, cones, etc. Each tree species has at least one type of growth, the most common one unsurprisingly being leaves.

The leaves of deciduous trees change color in the autumn, fall before the winter and grow back in the spring. Fallen leaves will color the tiles beneath their trees, turning the forest floor into colorful patchwork.

Trees of fruit-producing species usually grow flowers in spring and fruit later in the year. Flowers will fall in a cloud during the transition from flowers to fruit; the cloud is shown falling, and loo{{k|k}}ing at the ground after that will show "<tree> flowers" in addition to other tile contents. Both flowers and fruit appear and fall at set times through the year, so it's possible that a young tree that has never flowered will give fruit.

Fruit can be picked from trees in Adventure mode. Fortress mode harvesting is done with a [[stepladder]] (as long as the fruit-bearing tree is within a plant gathering zone) or by collecting fallen fruits. Fruit can be brewed at a [[still]]. Cutting a tree with fruit causes the fruits to vanish{{verify}}.

== Chopping down trees ==
{{main|Woodcutting}}

Trees can be cut down by dwarves to produce [[wood]]. It is enough to [[designations menu|designate]] only one trunk tile for cutting to chop down the whole tree it belongs to. Any trunk tile will do, even those that are above ground, or even a single tile of a multi-tile trunk. As a result, it's impossible to "prune" trees by chopping down only parts of them.

Once a woodcutter is done with the first tile, the tree instantly converts to a number of free-floating logs that fall to the ground in a direction away from the cutter. Cutting a tree from a trunk section above ground level may result in the woodcutter losing their footing and crashing to the ground (similar to having a tile deconstructed under their feet).

If you dug the tile below the trunk before cutting the tree, it will leave a hole to the surface, potentially allowing dangerous creatures to path into your underground fort. Avoid digging directly below one z-level in wooded areas before clearing out the trees, and make sure to check for open floor spaces {{Tile|·|0:1}} on the surface afterwards. If holes are present, construct [[floor]] tiles over the holes, which will prevent creatures from moving below. Constructing a wall below the open floor will work as well. Unexplained underground logs can alert you to the presence of these "guest entrances". Moving a building preview all around the surface (kennels are good for their size) and inspecting any non-ramp or tree invalid tiles can sweep large areas.

If you had [[smoothing|smoothed]] the wall below the trunk and then cut down the tree, it will leave an open floor above the smoothed wall, unlike constructed walls (see this [[tile#Walls|diagram]] for a visual illustration). If there is an open space adjacent to the smoothed wall, creatures can diagonally move below the adjacent space (by swimming, flying, or climbing) from the open floor above. Such occurrences should be uncommon, as it requires the tile below the tree to be made of stone (so it can be smoothed), and occur mainly in [[mountain]] biomes and areas affected by erosion.

== Products ==
=== Wood ===
{{main|Wood}}

One of the variations between the different tree species is in the weight and color of their wood. Weight is often a minor concern but when using wood to create objects that will be moved, such as bins or buckets, choosing lighter wood is an advantage as it will be hauled faster. Heavier wood will make wooden weapons and siege engine projectiles more effective, while lighter wooden shields reduce penalties to speed while blocking just as well as heavier shields.

Nonetheless, all types of wood have the same (low) value (beyond the [[preference]]s of individual dwarves), although the [[color]] of the wood may matter for aesthetic purposes.

=== Fruit ===
Various kinds of tree produce fruit. In [[dwarf fortress mode]], they can be gathered with a [[stepladder]] in a designated [[zone#Plant collection|plant gathering zone]], and [[Elf|elves]] will also bring fruit to [[trading|trade]]. Fruit can be eaten, producing [[seed]]s.

== Growing trees ==
From the time a sapling appears, it takes about 3 years for a tree to grow. From that point on, trees grow only once every 10 years, as defined by the TRUNK_PERIOD tag. Currently, all trees share the same 10-year value for trunk growth. Presumably this will be changed in the future to reflect accurate growth rates for different species. Given this disparity in growth times, it's far more efficient to cut down trees as they grow rather than attempting to let them grow to a larger/full size. Growing a full-sized tree will take around 80 years; well beyond the lifespan of most forts.

Trees grow from '''saplings''', which start growing randomly on non-occupied tiles of a suitable biome; thus chopping down a forest may create a clearing, but within a couple of years a new forest will have grown. Saplings can be killed by heavy [[traffic|foot traffic]], but not by flooding — they can survive submergence for extended periods of time and will still grow to maturity once the water level drops to 4/7{{verify}} or lower. Dead saplings will remain for some seasons, and then disappear, more quickly if heavy traffic tramples them away. Many underground trees are called "young <tree>" instead of sapling, but the concept is the same. Saplings will not grow to maturity if their tile contains an item or building (including stockpile designations), though removing the item may cause the tree to spontaneously grow up. Paved [[road]]s and [[farm plot]]s periodically purge all terrain features below them, preventing trees (or shrubs) from growing in unwanted areas. Trees cannot grow on stairs or ramps, making it possible to keep trees out of your plumbing by using {{K|u}}p stairs instead of {{K|d}}igging (this does not reveal the tile above). Above-ground trees will only grow in areas where there is sufficient soil 1 Z-level beneath them (currently observed to be at least one unmined tile within a two-tile radius); underground trees not only ignore this restriction for dry subterranean soil but will also grow on muddy subterranean stone. Additionally, saplings on soil cavern floors will block the construction of farm plots unless there is also a dusting or pile of mud beneath them.

Trees ''cannot'' be specifically "planted" ([http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html as of yet]); even if a map is stripped of all trees, new saplings will regrow, randomly and in their own time. (Sadly, the [[elf|elves]] do not seem to comprehend this) It is possible to [[tree farming|farm]] trees by walling off or engineering a patch of soil and locking it away so your dwarves don't trample all over it, but it will take a long time for the farm to yield results. After you expose the caverns, subterranean flora (including trees) will begin to grow on any exposed, previously-bare soil within your fortress; this can be annoying when a copse of [[blood thorn]]s suddenly appears in your [[sand#Glass|sand collection]] area, but allows you to easily mine out large subterranean tree farms full of colorful subterranean trees.

If a sapling grows into a tree, it can block off narrow areas, such as one-tile-long hallways in a muddy cavern layer. This can cause dwarves to take longer alternate routes to perform their jobs, or entrap them entirely.

'''Ostriches''' are flightless [[Creature|birds]] who inhabit [[desert]]s, [[tropical]] [[savanna]]s and tropical [[grassland]]s, appearing in groups of anywhere between 1 to 10 individuals. They are a half again as large as the average [[dwarf]] but are completely benign, doing little but meandering the area cluelessly. They will normally flee when attacked, but if enraged they may attempt to defend themselves, preferably with kick attacks. Male ostriches are called ''ostrich cocks'', while females are called ''ostrich hens''.

Ostriches can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s. They produce a good quantity of products when [[butcher]]ed and lay a fairly high amount of [[egg]]s if placed in a [[nest box]]; these traits combine to make them good choices to serve as the basis for [[egg production]] and a [[meat industry]]. Among the large ratite birds in the game (ostriches, [[emu]]s and [[Cassowary|cassowaries]]), ostriches are by far the largest, though they may not live as long as a cassowary. Ostriches appear to be the smallest creature to yield either [[feather]]s or [[gizzard stone]]s when butchered.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] ostriches for their ''long necks'' and their ''giant eggs''.

Sedimentary layer

2020-01-14T00:29:59Z

Russ3Z:

{{av}}{{Quality|Exceptional}}
'''Sedimentary stone layers''' contain [[hematite]], [[limonite]], [[magnetite]], [[tetrahedrite]],
[[bituminous coal]], [[lignite]], and [[gypsum]].

[[Chalk]]*, [[chert]]**, [[claystone]], [[conglomerate]], [[dolomite]]**, [[limestone]]*, [[mudstone]], [[rock salt]], [[sandstone]]**, [[siltstone]] and [[shale]] layers are sedimentary.
:(* These also function as [[flux]]. **These are also [[magma-safe]].)

Sedimentary layers are, on average, the most economically valuable of the four [[stone layers]]. They are your only source of [[bituminous coal]] and [[lignite]], vital for fueling non-[[magma]] forges and for the [[coke]] that [[steel]]-making requires (especially if you lack [[tree]]s). They are much richer in [[iron]] [[ore]]s than other rock formations. Several sedimentary rocks - [[dolomite]], [[chalk]], and [[limestone]] - are [[flux]]es, required for [[steel]]-making and also being twice as valuable as normal stone, making them useful for [[crafts|trade goods]] or [[furniture]].

Sedimentary layers can be tricky to locate. If you are starting off and you want access to an embark area with sedimentary layers, use the "Find Desirable Location" function before embark and set your parameters to include sites with [[flux]] stone. Since most flux stones are found in sedimentary layers, this will increase your chances that a suitable site will have sedimentary rock near the surface. Be careful when using the "Find Desirable Location" function, as it will sometimes list green sites that have flux stone but not indicate that it does, actually, have flux stone. To find iron ores, search for a location that has shallow metals, flux stone, medium elevation, and either high or low drainage. On large maps, the ore is located some of the time near mountains and major rivers in large (min ~10x10) chunks. Dwarven civilizations during [[world generation]] usually spawn near iron ore.

(In real-world geology, sedimentary [[stone]] is formed by sediment. The sediment gets carried away by rivers and deposited in constantly growing heaps where the pressure at the bottom eventually forms the sediment into stone.)

Soap

2019-03-03T14:59:51Z

Russ3Z: /* Manufacture */

{{Quality|Superior|02:43, 19 August 2014 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

'''Soap''' is a particularly useful type of [[bar]] used for [[clean self|personal cleaning]], which increases happiness ("recently took a soapy bath") and lowers the chances of an [[Health care|infection]] in case they are [[wound]]ed, and for cleaning [[wound]]s in [[hospital]]s, preventing infections from developing. It is thus a vital commodity in dwarven [[health care]], and one not traded in [[caravan]]s: you're going to have to make some soap yourself. Since soap is considered to be a bar it can be used to make [[constructions]] and [[workshop]]s.

== Manufacture ==

Soap is made of two components, [[lye]] and fat (either [[tallow]] or [[oil]]), and requires a dedicated workshop, the [[soap maker's workshop]]. It has a somewhat complicated production process; lye must be produced at an [[ashery]] from [[ash]], which in turn must be created at a [[wood furnace]] from [[wood]] logs that must first be [[woodcutting|cut down]]. [[Tallow]] is rendered from [[fat]] from butchered [[creature|animal]]s at a [[kitchen]], requiring either [[Meat industry|livestock]] or [[hunting]] activities, while oil must be [[pressing|pressed]] from seeds or rock nuts at a [[screw press]], which first requires [[plant gathering|gathering]] up or [[farming|growing]] [[crop]]s and then processing them at the [[farmer's workshop]]. One unit of tallow or oil plus one of lye creates a single bar of finished soap.

{{/flowchart}}

== Hygiene ==

Dwarves do not require soap to clean [[contaminant]]s such as mud and blood from themselves - if necessary, they will use murky pools, artificial pools of water, brooks, or a [[well]]. However, using soap will often generate the happy [[thought]] "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 [[surgery]], however, [[hospital]]s should be kept stocked with a small amount of soap. Soap will get used up as dwarves wash themselves; the current rate seems to be 1/10 a bar per washing, so each bar lasts quite a while.

Dwarves have an internal "dirtiness" level, which gets lowered when they have a bath, lowered further when they have a soapy bath and slowly builds up over time. This "dirtiness" value is connected to the chance of getting an infection if the dwarf is injured, making soap useful as a preventative as well as treatment.

Soap is stored in bar/block stockpiles with the "soap" option enabled.

A convenient way to keep an emergency stockpile of soap is to use it as a building material for workshops or constructions such as walls. When/if you need more soap, you can deconstruct and get the soap bars back. Since soap in a hospital is reserved for hospital use, this is especially useful in case you start to produce soap before setting up a hospital.

Labor

Russ3Z: /* Basic terminology */

{{Quality|Exceptional|17:27, 14 August 2014 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

{{quote|'''"To get a job done, a dwarf has to do it."''' - Boss Urist McOverstates-the-obvious}}

==Introduction to labor==
At the most basic level, '''labor is how you get things done'''. When you want your [[dwarf]] to do a job of work you must assign that dwarf to a '''"labor"''' type that corresponds with the job. You, as the [[fortress]] overseer, create jobs to be done by [[designations menu|designating]] them, and the dwarves who have been assigned the corresponding labor type appropriate to the job will complete the job. Your dwarves function as semi-autonomous entities, fulfilling their own basic needs as they see fit, while also meeting the demand of work to be done when time and conditions allow. Assigning specific labors to your dwarves tells them what type of work you want them to do. A labor "preference" simply designates whether a dwarf is allowed to do a particular job or not. Multiple labors can be assigned to a single dwarf, (unless they are exclusive - see below) but specialization within a category is usually best as this will result in highly skilled (faster/ higher quality) labor.

=== Basic terminology ===
*'''Labor:''' the ability to complete a job specific to a given type of work, which must be assigned individually to each dwarf.
*'''Preference:''' a somewhat ambiguous term associated with the process of assigning a labor to a dwarf. Dwarves do not merely ''prefer'' assigned labors over unassigned labors; instead, they will '''completely refuse''' to do unassigned labors.
*'''[[Skill]]:''' the level of proficiency a dwarf has when performing a specific labor. Skill increases with experience in completing the work. (The term labor and skill are '''NOT''' synonyms. Skill is a measure of proficiency for a given labor, while a labor is the ability to do the work.)
*'''[[Unit_type_token|Profession]]:''' Each dwarf is assigned a professional title, which is determined from the dwarf's assigned / preferred labors that has the highest skill level.
*'''Job:''' a specific task or work order queued to be completed, which can only be completed by a dwarf assigned to the labor that corresponds to the job. Typically there are multiple jobs that can be completed by a specific labor.
:*Additionally, basic needs also appear as jobs, such as [[Food|eating]], [[sleep]]ing, [[Alcohol|drinking]], etc.. These are not assigned, but are created automatically as needed.
*'''Social Skill:''' [[Social skill]]s are not labors, in that no work is performed using them, but they are similar in that they are unique abilities which will increase in competency the more they are used.
*'''Miscellaneous Abilities:''' are similar to labors and social skills, but again are not used in the performance of work. An example is [[swimming]].

===Assigning labors===
There are several steps required to assign a particular labor to a dwarf. For an example, lets say you have designated a section of underground [[rock]] to be [[mining|mined]] in order to make a tunnel for your fortress. This designation of work is a "job", and will now appear in your {{k|j}} job's [[menu]] as "dig". In order for a dwarf to complete the job, you must assign a dwarf the [[mining]] labor. This can be done as follows: 

# From the main map screen, select the [[unit list]] menu, {{k|u}}, which will list all your Dwarves and show their current activity.
#* Alternatively, you can use the {{k|v}}iew menu.
# From the [[unit list]] menu, arrow scroll down to select the dwarf whom you want to assign a labor to then select {{k|z}} to zoom to their location. Your view will change to the main map, and the dwarf you have chosen should be flashing on and off. In the task window on the right you will see information about the selected dwarf, in the Dwarf Details menu.
#* The default view for the selected dwarf in the Dwarf Details menu is 'general' {{k|g}}, which will list the dwarf's nickname or first name, dwarvish last name, and profession, followed below by their [[Technical tricks#Settings - d_init.txt|nickname]] or first name and last name as it reads in English, and their [[noble]] title if they are a [[noble]]. This is followed by a list that shows the current job (or lack thereof) in blue text, [[combat]] role {{k|c}}, labors {{k|b}}, and miscellaneous [[social skill]]s and abilities {{k|m}}. To see only the current labors, turn the combat {{k|c}} and miscellaneous {{k|m}} sections off.
# From the Dwarf Details screen, select {{k|p}} for preference, and then {{k|l}} for labor. This will take you to the Labor Categories screen, which categorizes the individual labor options into various categories based on similarity of work. (See Labor Categories below.)
#* Note that [[Mining]] is unique on the list, as it is the only item that is a labor in its own right, and not a category of several labors.
# Scroll through the list using the {{k|+}} or {{k|-}} keys, select a category, and scroll through the individual labor list, and once you have the desired labor selected, press {{k|Enter}}. For this example, since Mining is a labor and not a category you need only select [[Mining]] from the category menu.
# Exiting: To return to the Dwarf Details screen, select preference {{k|p}} then general {{k|g}}, and you should see the new assigned labor in the list. You can also exit directly to the main screen by selecting {{k|Esc}}. 
#* Note that changes in labors '''will not always take effect immediately''', if a labor is deselected on a dwarf, say Mining, who is performing the job, they will first finish mining the current tile and then stop mining.

{{TipBox2|titlebg=#dd0|float=right|Utilities|You may have noticed that the UI for managing dwarves is a bit difficult to use. If you are using a supported operating system, [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]] and/or [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] can make this much easier.}}

'''Note:''' The word '''"preference"''' can be confusing, as it suggests that a dwarf will do work associated with any labor, but will 'prefer' and prioritize work associated with labors you have assigned. '''This is not the case.''' A dwarf will '''only''' do work associated with assigned preferred labors, so it is not a preference, but in fact functions as a switch to enable or disable the labor. (Prioritization of work is based on several factors that are not fully understood, but are presented in [[micromanaging tricks]].)

Once designated as a '''labor preference''', a single labor can be applied to many different jobs. For instance, a dwarf with the [[bone carving]] labor designated might carve a totem out of a skull, craft bone practice [[bolt]]s for a [[crossbow]], create bone [[armor]], or carve bone [[craft]]s to trade. Each of these is a different possible job allowed by designating the associated labor.

=== Labor and tool requirements ===
For certain jobs, such as mining in our example, a '''tool''' is also required for the job to be completed. [[Miner]]s need [[pick]]s, [[Wood cutter]]s need a [[battle axe]], and [[Hunter]]s need a [[crossbow]]. If a labor needs a tool, the labor is considered '''exclusive''' such that you can only assign one of the three labors listed to any single dwarf. Additionally, the assignment of these tools '''overrides''' any [[Squad|uniform]] assigned to a dwarf's [[squad]], so military dwarves should never be assigned any of the aforementioned labors.

=== Labor and facility requirements ===
Many jobs require a [[workshop]] or some other [[Furnace|facility]] in order to be completed. Jobs are designated by way of the workshop, and any dwarf with the corresponding labor associated with the workshop will go to the shop, provided they are not eating, sleeping, drinking, etc..., and begin to complete the task. Most workshop jobs also require some raw materials in order to complete the production.

== Labor categories ==
Labor is divided into the following categories which are typically related by function or material, and for which there are multiple labors associated with each category:
* '''[[Mining]]''':
::: [[Mining]]
* '''[[Wood industry|Woodworking]]''':
::: [[Carpentry]], [[Crossbow-making]], [[Wood cutting]]
* '''[[Stone industry|Stoneworking]]''':
::: [[Masonry]], [[Stone detailing]]
* '''[[Hunting]]'''/Related:
::: [[Animal care]]*, [[Animal training]], [[Hunting]], [[Small animal dissection]]*, [[Trapping]]*
* '''[[Healthcare]]''':
::: [[Diagnosis]], [[Dressing wounds]], Feed Patients/Prisoners, Recovering Wounded, [[Setting bones]], [[Surgery]], [[Suturing]]
* '''[[Farming]]'''/Related:
::: [[Beekeeping]], [[Brewing]], [[Butchery]], [[Cheese making]], [[Cooking]], [[Dyeing]],[[Grower|Farming (Fields)]], [[Lye maker|Lye Making]], [[Milking]], [[Milling]], [[Herbalist|Plant Gathering]], [[Thresher|Plant Processing]], [[Potash maker|Potash Making]], [[Shearing]], [[Soaper|Soap making]], [[Spinning]], [[Tanning]], [[Wood burner|Wood Burning]]
* '''[[Fishing]]'''/Related:
::: [[Fishing]], [[Fish cleaning]], [[Fish dissection]]
* '''[[Metal industry|Metalsmithing]]''':
::: [[Armoring]], [[Blacksmithing]], [[Furnace operating]], [[Metalcrafting]], [[Weaponsmithing]]
* '''[[Jewelry]]''':
::: [[Gem cutting]], [[Gem setting]]
* '''[[Crafts]]''':
::: [[Bookbinder|Book Binding]], [[Bone carver|Bone Carving]], [[Clothier|Clothesmaking]], [[Glassmaker|Glassmaking]], [[Glazer|Glazing]], [[Leatherworker|Leatherworking]], [[Potter|Pottery]], [[Stone crafter|Stonecrafting]], [[Strand extractor|Strand Extraction]], [[Wax worker|Wax Working]], [[Weaver|Weaving]], [[Wood crafter|Woodcrafting]]
* '''[[Engineer]]ing''':
::: [[Mechanic]], [[Pump operator|Pump operating]], [[Siege engineer]], [[Siege operator]]
* '''[[Hauling]]''':
::: Animal/Food/Item/[[Refuse]]/Stone/Trade Good/Water/Wood Hauling, Burial, Push/Haul Vehicles
* '''Other''' Jobs:
::: [[Alchemy]]*, [[Architecture]], [[Cleaning]], [[Construction removal]], [[Lever operation]], Road building, Wall/Floor construction

: '''* Useless / Limited''' Labors:
::* As of 8-2014, Animal Care & Alchemy are not functioning.
::* Trapping, Small Animal Dissection, and Fish Dissection have limited utility.

In the preference screen, a labor category is dark gray if there are no labors under it enabled, light gray if there are some jobs enabled, and white if all jobs are enabled. ''(These distinctions can sometimes be very hard to tell apart in the default [[color scheme]].)''

=== Jobs that are not associated with a labor ===
* Basic Needs: [[food|eat]]ing, [[thirst|drinking]], [[sleep]]ing, going [[on break]], [[party]]ing, [[clean self|cleaning themselves]], and [[rest]]ing.
* A few things are listed as "No Job" but can be considered labors in a different sense: running scared, not having a path to anyplace useful, and being [[insane]].

== Managing labor and demand ==
* To quickly change a dwarf's labor preferences, access the labor screen by {{k|v}}iewing the dwarf, then select {{k|p}}references and {{k|l}}abor. Use {{k|+}} and {{k|-}} to move the cursor up and down to highlight different categories or skills to enable or disable. Or, use [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]]/[[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]].
* Using {{k|u}} can help you quickly locate dwarves. Select a dwarf, hit {{k|z}} for "zoom to creature" and you'll automatically be placed in view mode on that dwarf. Use {{k|p}}-{{k|l}} to get to the labor configuration menu.
* You can view a list of all current, queued, and suspended jobs on the {{k|j}}obs menu. A list of what job each dwarf is currently performing is visible on the {{k|u}}nits menu.
* A [[manager]] is incredibly useful for managing production jobs ([[workshop]] based). He or she can queue up a significant list of jobs without the need to select the various workshops, and place orders in bulk (or to be repeated). That said, there are some caveats, the most important being that queued jobs must be done in the correct order of materials required, or the orders will auto cancel. Also, you should not assign your manager to labors that are in high demand, as this will keep them from going to their [[office]] to place the orders.
* [[Migrants|Migrating]] dwarves will typically arrive with a certain number of labors already active. You will probably want to change the assigned labors, as often they will not meet your demand, or may be useless based on your access to raw materials.

== Advanced labor management and design ==
Managing your dwarves can be a tricky, and time consuming, business. Many a fortress has been abandoned not because of destruction from external threat, but rather from labor management fatigue. [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]] or [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] are both useful tools that assist you in managing your labors.

As your fortress grows, so will your labor pool, and the way you assign that labor will change over time. Typically at embark you will have at least one Miner, a Wood cutter, Farmer, Carpenter, Mason/Stonecrafter, Cook/Brewer, Mechanic/Architect, one of which will also be a Broker / Appraiser. There are multiple combinations but this is typical (see [[Embark]] and [[Starting build]]). Early on, you will probably want to focus on fortress design and development, such that you will place priority on [[mining]] and [[masonry]], supplemented by [[carpentry]].

In order to maximize the benefit of highly skilled labor, you will eventually want to specialize your labor, such that each dwarf has a very limited number of labors assigned.

Hauling: Nothing can bog down your production like the distraction of hauling jobs. Losing your fort to a siege is [[fun]], but losing because all your skilled laborers spend all their time hauling stuff is no fun. One solution is to use dedicated haulers. The migrants who appear & have no skilled labor, and whose attributes pretty much suck all around, aka [[peasant]]s, are best used as dedicated haulers.

== Labor, skill, and product quality ==
The amount of [[experience]] a dwarf has with a certain labor will determine how well he goes about performing this labor. The more experience, the greater the skill. Certain job types can be completed more quickly based on the skill of the labor. There are exceptions, such as [[Health care|nursing]] and [[hauling]] which will never be completed more quickly regardless of skill.

Certain labors will produce products that have a [[quality]] tag, typically those associated with the production of an item from a workshop. The table below lists in which labors the dwarf's experience will impact the quality of produced items and in which labors a higher experience will only be beneficial for the speed of production.

* Many labors, most notably [[hauling]], have no associated skill, do not generate experience, and do not improve with practice.

{{quote|'''"To get a job done, a dwarf has to do it."''' - Boss Urist McOverstates-the-obvious}}

==Introduction to labor==
At the most basic level, '''labor is how you get things done'''. When you want your [[dwarf]] to do a job of work you must assign that dwarf to a '''"labor"''' type that corresponds with the job. You, as the [[fortress]] overseer, create jobs to be done by [[designations menu|designating]] them, and the dwarves who have been assigned the corresponding labor type appropriate to the job will complete the job. Your dwarves function as semi-autonomous entities, fulfilling their own basic needs as they see fit, while also meeting the demand of work to be done when time and conditions allow. Assigning specific labors to your dwarves tells them what type of work you want them to do. A labor "preference" simply designates whether a dwarf is allowed to do a particular job or not. Multiple labors can be assigned to a single dwarf, (unless they are exclusive - see below) but specialization within a category is usually best as this will result in highly skilled (faster/ higher quality) labor.

=== Basic terminology ===
*'''Labor:''' the ability to complete a job specific to a given type of work, which must be assigned individually to each dwarf.
*'''Preference:''' a somewhat ambiguous term associated with process of assigning a labor to a dwarf. Dwarves do not merely ''prefer'' assigned labors over unassigned labors; instead, they will '''completely refuse''' to do unassigned labors.
*'''[[Skill]]:''' the level of proficiency a dwarf has when performing a specific labor. Skill increases with experience in completing the work. (The term labor and skill are '''NOT''' synonyms. Skill is a measure of proficiency for a given labor, while a labor is the ability to do the work.)
*'''[[Unit_type_token|Profession]]:''' Each dwarf is assigned a professional title, which is determined from the dwarf's assigned / preferred labors that has the highest skill level.
*'''Job:''' a specific task or work order queued to be completed, which can only be completed by a dwarf assigned to the labor that corresponds to the job. Typically there are multiple jobs that can be completed by a specific labor.
:*Additionally, basic needs also appear as jobs, such as [[Food|eating]], [[sleep]]ing, [[Alcohol|drinking]], etc.. These are not assigned, but are created automatically as needed.
*'''Social Skill:''' [[Social skill]]s are not labors, in that no work is performed using them, but they are similar in that they are unique abilities which will increase in competency the more they are used.
*'''Miscellaneous Abilities:''' are similar to labors and social skills, but again are not used in the performance of work. An example is [[swimming]].

===Assigning labors===
There are several steps required to assign a particular labor to a dwarf. For an example, lets say you have designated a section of underground [[rock]] to be [[mining|mined]] in order to make a tunnel for your fortress. This designation of work is a "job", and will now appear in your {{k|j}} job's [[menu]] as "dig". In order for a dwarf to complete the job, you must assign a dwarf the [[mining]] labor. This can be done as follows: 

# From the main map screen, select the [[unit list]] menu, {{k|u}}, which will list all your Dwarves and show their current activity.
#* Alternatively, you can use the {{k|v}}iew menu.
# From the [[unit list]] menu, arrow scroll down to select the dwarf whom you want to assign a labor to then select {{k|z}} to zoom to their location. Your view will change to the main map, and the dwarf you have chosen should be flashing on and off. In the task window on the right you will see information about the selected dwarf, in the Dwarf Details menu.
#* The default view for the selected dwarf in the Dwarf Details menu is 'general' {{k|g}}, which will list the dwarf's nickname or first name, dwarvish last name, and profession, followed below by their [[Technical tricks#Settings - d_init.txt|nickname]] or first name and last name as it reads in English, and their [[noble]] title if they are a [[noble]]. This is followed by a list that shows the current job (or lack thereof) in blue text, [[combat]] role {{k|c}}, labors {{k|b}}, and miscellaneous [[social skill]]s and abilities {{k|m}}. To see only the current labors, turn the combat {{k|c}} and miscellaneous {{k|m}} sections off.
# From the Dwarf Details screen, select {{k|p}} for preference, and then {{k|l}} for labor. This will take you to the Labor Categories screen, which categorizes the individual labor options into various categories based on similarity of work. (See Labor Categories below.)
#* Note that [[Mining]] is unique on the list, as it is the only item that is a labor in its own right, and not a category of several labors.
# Scroll through the list using the {{k|+}} or {{k|-}} keys, select a category, and scroll through the individual labor list, and once you have the desired labor selected, press {{k|Enter}}. For this example, since Mining is a labor and not a category you need only select [[Mining]] from the category menu.
# Exiting: To return to the Dwarf Details screen, select preference {{k|p}} then general {{k|g}}, and you should see the new assigned labor in the list. You can also exit directly to the main screen by selecting {{k|Esc}}. 
#* Note that changes in labors '''will not always take effect immediately''', if a labor is deselected on a dwarf, say Mining, who is performing the job, they will first finish mining the current tile and then stop mining.

{{TipBox2|titlebg=#dd0|float=right|Utilities|You may have noticed that the UI for managing dwarves is a bit difficult to use. If you are using a supported operating system, [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]] and/or [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] can make this much easier.}}

'''Note:''' The word '''"preference"''' can be confusing, as it suggests that a dwarf will do work associated with any labor, but will 'prefer' and prioritize work associated with labors you have assigned. '''This is not the case.''' A dwarf will '''only''' do work associated with assigned preferred labors, so it is not a preference, but in fact functions as a switch to enable or disable the labor. (Prioritization of work is based on several factors that are not fully understood, but are presented in [[micromanaging tricks]].)

Once designated as a '''labor preference''', a single labor can be applied to many different jobs. For instance, a dwarf with the [[bone carving]] labor designated might carve a totem out of a skull, craft bone practice [[bolt]]s for a [[crossbow]], create bone [[armor]], or carve bone [[craft]]s to trade. Each of these is a different possible job allowed by designating the associated labor.

=== Labor and tool requirements ===
For certain jobs, such as mining in our example, a '''tool''' is also required for the job to be completed. [[Miner]]s need [[pick]]s, [[Wood cutter]]s need a [[battle axe]], and [[Hunter]]s need a [[crossbow]]. If a labor needs a tool, the labor is considered '''exclusive''' such that you can only assign one of the three labors listed to any single dwarf. Additionally, the assignment of these tools '''overrides''' any [[Squad|uniform]] assigned to a dwarf's [[squad]], so military dwarves should never be assigned any of the aforementioned labors.

=== Labor and facility requirements ===
Many jobs require a [[workshop]] or some other [[Furnace|facility]] in order to be completed. Jobs are designated by way of the workshop, and any dwarf with the corresponding labor associated with the workshop will go to the shop, provided they are not eating, sleeping, drinking, etc..., and begin to complete the task. Most workshop jobs also require some raw materials in order to complete the production.

== Labor categories ==
Labor is divided into the following categories which are typically related by function or material, and for which there are multiple labors associated with each category:
* '''[[Mining]]''':
::: [[Mining]]
* '''[[Wood industry|Woodworking]]''':
::: [[Carpentry]], [[Crossbow-making]], [[Wood cutting]]
* '''[[Stone industry|Stoneworking]]''':
::: [[Masonry]], [[Stone detailing]]
* '''[[Hunting]]'''/Related:
::: [[Animal care]]*, [[Animal training]], [[Hunting]], [[Small animal dissection]]*, [[Trapping]]*
* '''[[Healthcare]]''':
::: [[Diagnosis]], [[Dressing wounds]], Feed Patients/Prisoners, Recovering Wounded, [[Setting bones]], [[Surgery]], [[Suturing]]
* '''[[Farming]]'''/Related:
::: [[Beekeeping]], [[Brewing]], [[Butchery]], [[Cheese making]], [[Cooking]], [[Dyeing]],[[Grower|Farming (Fields)]], [[Lye maker|Lye Making]], [[Milking]], [[Milling]], [[Herbalist|Plant Gathering]], [[Thresher|Plant Processing]], [[Potash maker|Potash Making]], [[Shearing]], [[Soaper|Soap making]], [[Spinning]], [[Tanning]], [[Wood burner|Wood Burning]]
* '''[[Fishing]]'''/Related:
::: [[Fishing]], [[Fish cleaning]], [[Fish dissection]]
* '''[[Metal industry|Metalsmithing]]''':
::: [[Armoring]], [[Blacksmithing]], [[Furnace operating]], [[Metalcrafting]], [[Weaponsmithing]]
* '''[[Jewelry]]''':
::: [[Gem cutting]], [[Gem setting]]
* '''[[Crafts]]''':
::: [[Bookbinder|Book Binding]], [[Bone carver|Bone Carving]], [[Clothier|Clothesmaking]], [[Glassmaker|Glassmaking]], [[Glazer|Glazing]], [[Leatherworker|Leatherworking]], [[Potter|Pottery]], [[Stone crafter|Stonecrafting]], [[Strand extractor|Strand Extraction]], [[Wax worker|Wax Working]], [[Weaver|Weaving]], [[Wood crafter|Woodcrafting]]
* '''[[Engineer]]ing''':
::: [[Mechanic]], [[Pump operator|Pump operating]], [[Siege engineer]], [[Siege operator]]
* '''[[Hauling]]''':
::: Animal/Food/Item/[[Refuse]]/Stone/Trade Good/Water/Wood Hauling, Burial, Push/Haul Vehicles
* '''Other''' Jobs:
::: [[Alchemy]]*, [[Architecture]], [[Cleaning]], [[Construction removal]], [[Lever operation]], Road building, Wall/Floor construction

: '''* Useless / Limited''' Labors:
::* As of 8-2014, Animal Care & Alchemy are not functioning.
::* Trapping, Small Animal Dissection, and Fish Dissection have limited utility.

In the preference screen, a labor category is dark gray if there are no labors under it enabled, light gray if there are some jobs enabled, and white if all jobs are enabled. ''(These distinctions can sometimes be very hard to tell apart in the default [[color scheme]].)''

=== Jobs that are not associated with a labor ===
* Basic Needs: [[food|eat]]ing, [[thirst|drinking]], [[sleep]]ing, going [[on break]], [[party]]ing, [[clean self|cleaning themselves]], and [[rest]]ing.
* A few things are listed as "No Job" but can be considered labors in a different sense: running scared, not having a path to anyplace useful, and being [[insane]].

== Managing labor and demand ==
* To quickly change a dwarf's labor preferences, access the labor screen by {{k|v}}iewing the dwarf, then select {{k|p}}references and {{k|l}}abor. Use {{k|+}} and {{k|-}} to move the cursor up and down to highlight different categories or skills to enable or disable. Or, use [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]]/[[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]].
* Using {{k|u}} can help you quickly locate dwarves. Select a dwarf, hit {{k|z}} for "zoom to creature" and you'll automatically be placed in view mode on that dwarf. Use {{k|p}}-{{k|l}} to get to the labor configuration menu.
* You can view a list of all current, queued, and suspended jobs on the {{k|j}}obs menu. A list of what job each dwarf is currently performing is visible on the {{k|u}}nits menu.
* A [[manager]] is incredibly useful for managing production jobs ([[workshop]] based). He or she can queue up a significant list of jobs without the need to select the various workshops, and place orders in bulk (or to be repeated). That said, there are some caveats, the most important being that queued jobs must be done in the correct order of materials required, or the orders will auto cancel. Also, you should not assign your manager to labors that are in high demand, as this will keep them from going to their [[office]] to place the orders.
* [[Migrants|Migrating]] dwarves will typically arrive with a certain number of labors already active. You will probably want to change the assigned labors, as often they will not meet your demand, or may be useless based on your access to raw materials.

== Advanced labor management and design ==
Managing your dwarves can be a tricky, and time consuming, business. Many a fortress has been abandoned not because of destruction from external threat, but rather from labor management fatigue. [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]] or [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] are both useful tools that assist you in managing your labors.

As your fortress grows, so will your labor pool, and the way you assign that labor will change over time. Typically at embark you will have at least one Miner, a Wood cutter, Farmer, Carpenter, Mason/Stonecrafter, Cook/Brewer, Mechanic/Architect, one of which will also be a Broker / Appraiser. There are multiple combinations but this is typical (see [[Embark]] and [[Starting build]]). Early on, you will probably want to focus on fortress design and development, such that you will place priority on [[mining]] and [[masonry]], supplemented by [[carpentry]].

In order to maximize the benefit of highly skilled labor, you will eventually want to specialize your labor, such that each dwarf has a very limited number of labors assigned.

Hauling: Nothing can bog down your production like the distraction of hauling jobs. Losing your fort to a siege is [[fun]], but losing because all your skilled laborers spend all their time hauling stuff is no fun. One solution is to use dedicated haulers. The migrants who appear & have no skilled labor, and whose attributes pretty much suck all around, aka [[peasant]]s, are best used as dedicated haulers.

== Labor, skill, and product quality ==
The amount of [[experience]] a dwarf has with a certain labor will determine how well he goes about performing this labor. The more experience, the greater the skill. Certain job types can be completed more quickly based on the skill of the labor. There are exceptions, such as [[Health care|nursing]] and [[hauling]] which will never be completed more quickly regardless of skill.

Certain labors will produce products that have a [[quality]] tag, typically those associated with the production of an item from a workshop. The table below lists in which labors the dwarf's experience will impact the quality of produced items and in which labors a higher experience will only be beneficial for the speed of production.

* Many labors, most notably [[hauling]], have no associated skill, do not generate experience, and do not improve with practice.

Keeping your dwarves unstressed

2019-02-26T18:40:27Z

Russ3Z: /* Living Quarters */ link "coffer"

{{av}}

Some tips on how to keep your [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[stress]]-free, thus reducing the chances of [[tantrum]]s, [[depression]]s and [[oblivious]]ness:

==General Tips==
* It is more important to keep your dwarves free from negative thoughts, than it is to overwhelm them with positive thoughts. Showering Urist McFisherdwarf with ☼jaguar meat roast☼s does not mean a happy dwarf, if Urist keeps dwelling over his grouchiness at being caught in the rain.
* If other dwarves are already under a great deal of stress (especially those with a high [[Personality trait|ANGER_PROPENSITY]]) may lash out and severely injure or kill others; a corpse in your dining room will lead to horrified thoughts from any dwarf taking a quick booze stop. Make sure to de-stress these dwarves first, or, if lacking the ability to do so, lock them in their own room or experiment with [[Magma|radical cures]].

==Specific Dwarves==
* Using a tool such as [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]], you can sort dwarves by stress level. There you can hold the mouse over the stress square to see the reasons why the dwarves are stressed and address them. Look up their preferences, assign them jobs that match their preferences, and build stuff they like, especially in their rooms.
* Dwarves that are highly prone to stress, i.e. a high [[Personality trait|STRESS_VULNERABILITY]] trait, are not suitable for the military or as [[nobles]]. You will have to remove them from these duties and, in extreme cases, isolate them with burrows to insulate them from [[Thought|stress-inducing stimuli]]. You might be able to get away with giving high-stress dwarves a "vacation" or demote them for example from a captain to a mere soldier. Also, don't give high-stress dwarves the Refuse Hauling labor, since they often handle dead bodies.
* Dwarves who have to go outside for extended periods of time (like [[Fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]] who work near the local [[lake]] or [[river]]) become stressed due to constant exposure to [[rain]] and long periods away from fun (not [[Fun|that kind]]) and their friends. You can give these workers their own little vacation by disabling their labors and letting them spend some time inside at the [[tavern]] until they regain their composure. Let an unstressed dwarf take care of the job for a while.

==Food and Drink==
* Make the community [[dining room]] your non-[[noble]] dwarves dine in high [[room#quality|quality]]. You can increase its quality by making the room bigger, putting in more [[chair]]s and [[throne]]s, [[smoothing]] and [[engraving]] it, and putting in valuable [[furniture]] like [[gold]] [[statue]]s.
* [[Embark]] with or train up a [[cook]], so your dwarves can enjoy high [[quality]] [[food|meals]].
* Make sure you never run out of [[booze]], since a sober dwarf is a stressed dwarf.
** Make sure to have at least two different kinds of booze on hand, since dwarves will get bored if there's no variety in their drinks.
** Try to have all different varieties of booze on hand, since dwarves get a happy thought when they drink their [[preference|preferred]] booze.

==Living Quarters==
* Give your dwarves individual [[bedroom]]s rather than making them live in a communal [[dormitory]]. Not only will they get a good thought from sleeping in their own bedroom, they'll get good thoughts from admiring the furniture they own. Even a minimalist bedroom - a 1x1 grid containing only a bed, within a communal dormitory - helps significantly.
* Give them a bedroom to sleep in anyway, as dwarves do not enjoy sleeping on the ground.
* Improve the bedrooms by making them of respectable size, smoothing/engraving the ground, and adding basic furniture such as [[coffer]]s.
* If you still wish to use a communal bedroom to protect your dwarves from [[vampire]]s, designate each bed as a room itself. This way dwarves can keep an eye on each other and still have their own rooms.
** Overlapping the bedrooms will reduce the overall value of each "room" but a high enough overall room value can overcome this.
** You can also make the shared suites large enough that the bedroom designations do not overlap.
** Overlapping won't create an additional reduction in value after a certain point; it is quite easy to give everyone a royal-bedroom this way.
* Make the Noble’s rooms better than other rooms. They have the insane ability to tell if the peasantry has slept better than them and it makes them unhappy.

==Fortress Improvements==
* Place highly valuable [[furniture]], if possible artifacts, in a high traffic area of your fort, since dwarves get a positive thought if they pass right next to or over expensive furniture.
* Dwarves who [[cave adaptation|spend most of their time underground]] will become stressed when exposed to sunlight. If the dwarves who need to work outside aren't already regularly exposed to sunlight, put some combination of these high traffic areas on the surface:
** [[activity zone#Meeting Area|Meeting area]] or [[sculpture garden|Statue garden]] - Won't catch dwarves that never idle.
** [[Dining room]] - Will need to ensure nobles that have private dining rooms have another means.
** [[Booze]] stockpile - Requires a custom stockpile but otherwise very reliable.
** Note that dwarves don't like to be out in rain or snow, regardless. Build a roof to protect them from it.
* Keep at least a few [[cat]]s around to hunt down irritating [[vermin]]. [[Pasture]] some in with your food stockpiles. Note that this will create vermin remains, which need to be hauled to a refuse stockpile or dumped. Alternatively, use a [[trapper]] or two.
* Put a [[cage]] in a high traffic area (like the meeting area) and stuff it full of (non-[[pasture|grazing]]) tame animals so your dwarves can enjoy seeing their [[preferences|favorite]] type of animal.
** The [[elf|elven]] [[caravan]]s bring random animals, and you can request specific domestic animals from the dwarven caravan.
** You can use [[cage trap]]s to capture wild animals, [[Animal trainer|train them]].
** You can raid sites for tame animals. Elven, goblin, and kobold sites often have exotic creatures.
* Create a [[waterfall]] or [[mist|mist generator]] in a location all dwarves frequent regularly.
* Keep your fortress clean and avoid [[miasma]], or at least confine it to your refuse stockpile if it is underground.
* Keep your refuse stockpile somewhere infrequently traveled, enclosed by doors so that dwarves do not see dead bodies, especially those of sentient creatures.

==Miscellaneous==
* Keep your dwarves [[clothes|clothed]]. A naked dwarf is a stressed dwarf. Specifically, they will need something to cover the upper body, such as a shirt, something to cover the lower body, such as trousers, and something on each foot, such as a sock or shoe.
* If a dwarf dies, [[coffin|bury him]] or [[memorial|engrave a memorial in his name]]. This will prevent even more stress for his friends, and [[ghost]]s to haunt your dwarves or your FPS.
* [[Pasture]] all dwarf [[pet]]s somewhere safe. Wandering pets are likely to die from goblins or construction accidents.
* Instead of [[Dwarven atom smasher|vaporising]] old dwarven clothes, rather sell them to the caravan. Otherwise, every destroyed masterpiece sock will stress its creator.
* Be careful with cooking masterpiece dishes. Dwarves tend to drop their ☼dog intestines roast☼ somewhere, and if it withers the cook becomes agitated.

'''Traffic designations''' determine preferred paths for dwarves going around in your fortress. Normally, dwarves use the shortest route possible; using these designations, you can force them to take a different route. This way you can set up main hallways or rarely used side corridors. Only your dwarves will obey your traffic designations, and then only when they can. If a [[job]] requires that they go into a restricted zone, they will. Other [[creature]]s will not recognize your traffic designations, and even [[domestic animal]]s or [[caravan]]s will follow their own pathing.

Traffic designations can't solve all traffic problems. However, some issues can be prevented by good [[Design strategies|fortress design]]. For example, you might make hallways that are likely to be busy two or more tiles wide, and place [[stockpile]]s close to relevant [[workshop]]s. Other difficulties may be reduced by designating traffic areas.

Vegetation (saplings) will tend to die if repeatedly trampled upon, leaving dead [[Tree|sapling]]s or [[shrub]]s and quickly exposing bare [[soil]]. This may be desirable as [[tree]]s block dwarves' and [[caravan]]s' paths, but unchecked traffic may trample entire areas of [[forest]] regrowth.

==Setting Traffic Areas==

The {{K|d}}{{K|o}} combination sets '''traffic areas''', which are zones used to manipulate the movements of dwarves. Traffic areas can be designated as high, normal, low, or restricted. When walking from one point to another, dwarves consider these designations in finding the shortest path. Costs per tile for the pathfinding AI set for traffic levels are: High costs 1 point, Normal (default, undesignated) costs 2, Low costs 5, and Restricted costs 25. You can change the default PATH_COST values in [[d_init.txt]], or per-fortress values with {{K|d}}{{K|o}}.

* It is often a good idea to set any [[water]] source in a [[biome]] with seasonal freezing to a Restricted area so your dwarves will be less likely to be caught on it when it melts.
* Some dwarves get [[thought|disturbed]] if they walk through a [[butcher's shop]] and see an animal being slaughtered, so you may wish to designate the shop or a band around it as Restricted.
* Setting restricted traffic areas over undisturbed [[cloth|webs]] or saplings is a good way to prevent dwarves from destroying them.
* If an area occasionally gets [[flood]]ed, or is dangerous for some reason, routing dwarves around it could be lifesaving.
* Setting High traffic areas along [[road]]s outdoors prevents vegetation from being needlessly trampled.
* An important use of traffic designations is to restrict movement in the tile where a [[ballista]]'s firing arrow originates. This will prevent tragic [[siege]] training accidents. Note that [[pet]]s can and will be killed by firing ballista even if movement is restricted.

Setting Restricted does not forbid a [[dwarf]] from traveling over those squares, but rather makes them willing to walk around them – for the normal cost table, 12.5 times further, or up to 25 times longer if there is an alternative high-traffic path. If you have an area that absolutely must not be stepped on by dwarves, consider [[wall]]s, or if you still need access now and then, a locked [[door]].

==Limitations==
Traffic designations only affect path preferences when pathfinding. Dwarves generally choose their jobs without weighing the pathfinding costs. For example, one cannot use traffic designations to direct a dwarf to confine his digging to a specific area. He will still take whatever path necessary to get to the job he has chosen to work. The best option to restrict a dwarf to a certain area is to make use of [[burrow]]s.

Additionally, traffic designations cannot be used to restrict where a dwarf will stand when building/digging. In other words, traffic designations will not prevent a dwarf from placing himself on the outside of the fort when the last tile of a moat or wall is completed. One workaround is to build a statue on a tile to prevent dwarves from standing there.

== Using Traffic Areas to Improve Framerate ==

In cavernous rooms that handle large amounts of through traffic but have a small number of exits (a large central dining room, for example) designating a few high-traffic paths ("freeways") between the doors can help reduce the pathfinding cost for dwarves who are just passing through. There may also be benefits to adding low-traffic edges to these freeways to keep the search algorithm from looking for shortcuts. Likewise, any large dead-end room that branches off a major hallway should have the area around its doorway marked low or restricted traffic to prevent dwarves from searching it for shortcuts. As noted above in '''Limitations''', this should not affect the dwarves who have a legitimate reason to hang out in the dining hall or visit the storage room - they will path to their destination regardless. Users may see up to a 10% increase in FPS by implementing these changes throughout their fortress.

'''Vampires''' {{Tile|Ñ|4:0}} are [[undead]] [[night creature]]s that feed on [[blood]], cursed during [[world generation]] by profaning against their [[Deity|gods]]. In [[fortress mode]], they occasionally appear in [[migrant]] waves and hide themselves amongst your [[dwarves]]. Vampirism can be further spread by [[thirst|drinking]] either vampire blood, or [[water]] contaminated by said vampire blood.

==Description==
Vampires, like other night creatures, are created during world generation. The amount of vampires created during world generation is closely related with world size, population, and history, and it can be directly controlled with [[advanced world generation]]—a world generating with "{{tt|Number of Vampire Curse Types}}" set to {{tt|0}} in advanced world generation will not have any vampires in it. Every once in a while, a deity will curse a worshiper who desecrates their temple or otherwise offends them, cursing them to become either a vampire or [[werebeast]]. Any creature with blood, capable of learning, and not already a werebeast or undead, can, theoretically, become a vampire, but most vampires will be [[human]] or dwarven. However, since [[civilization]]s can have members not of their founding race, the occasional vampiric [[goblin]], [[elf]] or even [[Animal people|animal person]] will also occur.

Vampires are much more powerful than normal humanoids, possessing enhanced speed, strength, [[No Exert|stamina]], and [[No Pain|pain resistance]] in combat, don't need [[food|food]], do not need to breathe (and thus cannot drown), and never get [[sleep|drowsy]]. They do, however, get thirsty, albeit not in the normal way; vampires thirst for warm, fresh blood, and will suck [[unconscious]] [[creature]]s (usually others of their own kind) dry given the chance, usually killing them. In the rare case that the victims survive and recover, they will not remember what happened to them, and may very well fall victim once more. It appears that when a vampire feeds successfully, they receive a large happiness boost.

Vampires do not [[age]], and most vampires live for hundreds or even thousands of years. Thus, all but the youngest vampires are more [[skill]]ed and more experienced than their peers, spurred on by the countless lives detailed on their [[kill list]]s and they are hiding their true identities. This makes them natural candidates for leadership, and thus vampiric [[monarch]]s are a not-uncommon sight upon the thrones of certain ill-starred [[civilization]]s, which do not seem to wonder as to how their liege has been alive for so many centuries. Vampires are a type of undead, therefore, animated dead creatures will be docile towards them, as will nonplayer [[necromancer]]s—while they're undead, necromancers cannot control vampires, as they possess free will. Vampires are sterile, and therefore can't have [[children]].

Younger vampires stalk the streets of towns and cities, indistinguishable from the average mortal, and drink the blood of unsuspecting innocents. Elder vampires, those with power and ambition, mislead the gullible and power-hungry into forming vampire cults dedicated to worshiping and feeding their master. Should a vampire rise to a position of power in mortal society, it may deign to expose itself and impose a rule of tyranny upon the subjects who so unknowingly elevated it to power.

None of your seven starting dwarves will ever be vampires, nor will children or babies, [[caravan]]s, [[siege]]s{{verify}}, [[ambush]]es{{verify}}, or [[thief|thieves]]{{verify}}, but any of the rest of your dwarves can be. (Foreign [[diplomat]]s can be vampires, and will be labeled as such.)

== Habits ==
Vampires are secretive and, for better or for worse, a fairly common occurrence. Many fortresses can expect to see a vampire resident within the first few years, and some may see two or more. Vampires arrive with a false name and hide their true name and kill list until they are discovered. They act as do any other dwarves, performing jobs which are assigned to them and generally acting as expected, except for differences too small to notice easily in any sizable population: They do not eat, drink or sleep. They can be [[military|drafted]], assigned to [[burrow]]s, be given [[room]]s (because they do not sleep, vampires will not claim rooms on their own{{verify}}), and own items.

The most important difference is that sometimes (when? how often?), they drink the blood of dwarves that they catch sleeping. If any tame animals somehow fall asleep (for instance, via a syndrome), vampires will drink their blood as willingly as they will a dwarf's. If a vampire is in the military and has current station orders he may ignore them and search out a victim, still displaying 'station'. <strike>If the orders are canceled they will switch to 'on break'.{{verify}}</strike>

If vampires are caught in the act of draining a victim, their crime will be reported in the [[justice]] [[menu|screen]] as murder (they will not, however, stop drinking when caught). If only the corpse is discovered, the crime will be labeled as a murder sans suspects, and the player can accuse dwarves of the act. Even in the case that someone is accused, be aware that the deceitful vampire is capable of framing others for its crimes to send suspicion away for a time.

If a vampire is killed, the corpse will bear the original name of the creature rather than that of the dwarf who was seen to die, which might lead to some confusion among managers of such things. A [[coffin]] will be designated for burial of the vampire's cover identity, with the corpse bearing the original name entombed in it. Memorial slabs will be dedicated to the vampire's original name.

== Identification ==
It might be smart to scan the [[thoughts and preferences]] screens of incoming migrants before welcoming them to their new home, as a safety measure; it really ''sucks'' when you don't discover you have a vampire until ''after'' they've drained your only legendary [[armorsmith]] of blood.

A dwarf who is suddenly pale or faint for no explained reason is a good but rare indicator that a vampire is around. He was most likely fed upon by a vampire, but survived. Dwarven [[corpse]]s being discovered "drained of blood" are more common; a vampire fed upon them and killed them, and their body was discovered. These dwarves should be buried well, lest an axe-crazy [[ghost]] arise from their death. Dwarves inexplicably going missing for more than a week are another indicator, although this might be the result of dwarven stupidity (e.g. falling down a [[well]], walking off a [[waterfall]], etc.) as well.

Once you suspect you have a vampire, you probably want to know who it is. There are a number of good indicators of a vampire and the more points a dwarf hits, the more likely he is, indeed, a vampire. The difficult vampires to identify are young ones, as they have not had time to build up the indicators that are obvious on older bloodsuckers.

Firstly, there are the consequences of their age. Vampires tend to be high in multiple (4-5+) [[social skill|social]], high in at least one [[military]] [[skill]], and "great" or better in at least one domestic skill. The biggest indicator of a vampire in this version{{verify}} is that they will almost always have more skills (10-15+ easily) at Novice or better than any of your other dwarves. If your new Great Hunter is also a Novice Milker, Shearer, Farmer, Tanner, Carpenter, Stonecrafter, Furnace Operator, Soap Maker, Fisherdwarf, Fish Cleaner, and Fish Dissector... they're almost certainly a vampire. They also tend to have very long lists of [[Thoughts and preferences#Civilization membership|group associations]], on the order of dozens, far more than your normal dwarves. They have abnormally long lists of [[relationships|relations]] and often many, many children, but none of them are present in the fortress (in stark contrast to the spouses, children and siblings whom most dwarves will share their home with). If they are married to a dwarf that is not present in the fortress, this should be treated as especially strong evidence. Note, however, that lacking relatives within the fortress is not a good indicator of being a vampire.

Their [[Personality trait|personality]] can also be scrutinized for abnormalities. Their biographies may indicate that they "have the appearance of somebody who is (x) years old," a very good indicator of a vampire in cases where they have too many children or too many civilization associations to be that young. As vampires do not eat, sleep, or drink, they will never have recent thoughts about meals, drinks, beds, dining rooms, or chairs, leaving their thoughts especially bare and suspicious. In the case of vampires who have been in the fort for a while, a comment may be added to the effect that "s/he could really use a drink," "s/he has not had a drink in far, far too long," or "can't even remember the last time s/he had some." This is an indicator that they need blood. In any case, if alcohol is available, it makes an excellent distinguishing mark. However, [[tavern]] keepers may give a vampire alcohol which they will then drink.{{verify}} In addition to the brevity of surface thoughts, if you were unfortunate enough to have a dwarf die to a vampire, the culprit will have the "took joy in slaughter lately" thought.

There are two "normal" ways to be absolutely sure a dwarf is a vampire. The first is to catch them in the act; the dwarf will be clearly marked for the duration of the attack (i.e. Urist McVampire, Vampire on the [[unit list]], in red). A vampire does not mind if the player is currently "watching" or even following it. The second is to have a dwarf witness the event happening. This will permanently uncover their identities, but almost always results in a dead dwarf first. More arcane are indicators based on their physical abilities; vampires with injured guts do not [[vomit]], vampires with injured lungs have no problem "breathing", and submerged vampires will not [[drown]] (evoking the concept of an olden witch test for finding vampirism). Technically being undead, animated corpses will not evoke cancellation spam when a vampire sees them. An easy (albeit, [[exploit|cheap]]) way of screening migrants is to send them through a hallway with a zombie on the other side of fortifications/windows in clear sight. Normal dwarves will run away from the horrible sight of a harmless zombie but vampire dwarves will walk right through.

Vampires often will wear items crafted from their kills. If a dwarf is wearing items made from the bones of dwarves, this is a pretty good indication that they are a vampire, and the same is true of vampires from other races. Sometimes these items can find their way into circulation through natural means, so it does not always mean that someone who possesses a dwarf bone or human bone item is a vampire; having multiple of these items is a stronger indication.

One good way to find vampires is to lock suspect dwarves in a room for a season. Vampires do not become hungry, only tired, so simply watching the group to see who begins to starve will identify the vampire. (Ideally, you then let them all out so they can eat before they die) This is a good alternative to the zombie process for undead-free forts.

Vampires often will accuse an innocent dwarf of their murders. This can point the savvy fort manager to the culprit as quickly as an honest witness to the crime. If an accusation from a single witness appears in the justice screen, it is likely false. Monitor the accused dwarf until you see them eat, drink, or sleep, which proves them innocent.

<strike>Feeding is treated as a job by the game, and thus appears in the Job List with the text 'On Break' in cyan. It is possible that the genuine 'On Break' (teal) and the fake 'On Break' (cyan) occupy different positions in the Job List.</strike> (Version 0.42 has no more "On Break", so we need to research this.)

Looking at the [[deity|deities]] that the dwarf believes in (in the {{k|r}}elationships screen) can be quite helpful. Vampires often still worship the god that cursed them with vampirism, so one of the deities of a vampire may have a "cursed the dwarf [vampire's true name] . . ." clause. Deities also list historical figures which have begun worshiping them. If an already-cursed vampire comes to worship a new deity, they are flagged as such in the deity's history, with an "In the [season] of [year], [deity] received the worship of the [species] vampire [vampire's true name]" clause. Lacking both of these clauses from all of their deities seems to be a clear sign that the suspect is ''not'' a vampire. This non-bugged way of checking a vampire is linked to the "cheap" bugged way of checking of vampires, which is described in the final paragraph.

Then there are the (in ''Dwarf Fortress'', inevitable) bugged ways. As mentioned in the [[#Bugs|bugs]] section, vampires can be discovered and identified in [[statue|statuary]] and [[engraving]]s, through their refusal to claim [[bed]]rooms, through [[pet|adoption events]], and through [[weapon]] [[kill list]]s. Additionally, if you have the vampire on follow, their title will change from their usual one ("Dwarf A") to "Dwarf A Vampire" when they are doing certain activities.

There are a few "cheap" ways as well. [[Utilities#DFHack|DFHack]] has a special command, "cursecheck," which returns the count of cursed creatures on a tile, and will report vampires. Checking out a drained dwarf in [[legends]] mode will tell you that "In the year Z X was drained of all blood by Y."

To see if a vampire was cursed by a deity that it worships, look under the <s>vampire's</s> dwarf's relationships and view the deities that are listed. Give the dwarf a nickname and, when viewing the deity relationship, it will say: "In the [season description] of [year], [deity] cursed the dwarf vampire [nickname you chose] [dwarf's original name] to prowl the night in search of blood in [original location]". Since the nickname applies retroactively, this is a sure way to identify a vampire that happens to worship the deity that cursed it. This method is very tedious when looking at many suspects, and may apply to only a small fraction of vampires, so you should probably use it after trying the more obvious signs (like many former associations, or tags after "needs alcohol to get through the working day").

Finally, a suspected vampire will have an unusually large amount of kills, if you are using a utility such as [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]] and you go to the military tab and filter by kills, they will have a very high amount of kills.

== Defense ==
Vampires attack and drink from dwarves who are sleeping, so one defense is to force all dwarves to sleep and meet in the same room, increasing the likelihood of eyewitnesses catching the monster in the act. Curiously, even if convicted of a vampiric murder, a vampire will not necessarily be killed, but given a normal justice penalty such as temporary imprisonment. If you want to get rid of him/her you will have to take [[justice]] into your own hands and introduce the leech to a pit of lava, bottomless pit, arena fight, dropping tower, or other elimination method of your choice. Take note that vampires do not breathe, so using drowning chambers will not work. Using melting chambers (like drowning chambers, but with magma instead of water), however, will work. This can be facilitated through the use of burrows, but you will need to be fast when using those because vampires do ''not'' respect burrow restrictions if they decide to get another [[Blood|drink]]. However, one must take care that the vampire is properly memorialized because even the ghosts of vampires will seek out your sleeping citizens and kill them.

== Uses ==
If you can correctly identify a vampire and isolate it from the rest of your population, you can make use of them without fear of blood feedings. A lone vampire in a sealed room will never die of hunger or thirst, does not need to sleep, and will never age. The only way a vampire can die (without your vengeful intervention) is in combat or through syndromes. Sealing it somewhere prevents those. The only remaining risk is that the vampire may turn mad eventually, which without access to other dwarfs to [[relationships|relate to]] should not be very likely. Even [[insanity]] is not the end for a vampire - since they remain physically needless, an insane vampire can still live forever, and non-berserk insane vampires remain citizens of your fort. They will be completely unusable for any work, but a locked-up melancholic or stark raving mad vampire is just as immortal as a sane one and cannot be elected mayor. If they get loose, they will not drain your citizens of blood, but melancholic vampires may attempt to end their own existence, given the opportunity.

Once you have your sealed vampire, your fortress becomes effectively eternal, since the vampire will always be alive even if the infamous [[Losing|fun]] claims your entire population. Be wary of [[ghost]]s, though, as they are the only being capable of reaching your vampire's eternal prison. Simply wait for the fun to pass and new immigrants to repopulate your otherwise abandoned fort.

Consider placing a chair and table in your vampire's sealed room and making them an undead accountant. As they have nothing to do but sit around for eternity, once they get their skills up, they may make exceedingly effective [[manager]]s/[[record keeper]]s. Work orders and stockpile updates currently seem to be psychically transmitted from the desk of the dwarf assigned to those labors, so entombing them in their office isn't an issue. However, vampire dwarves are still alcoholics, yet cannot drink anything but blood; the resulting job performance penalty from the "can't even remember the last time he/she had some" level of [[Drink|alcohol withdrawal]] significantly reduces the usefulness of vampires in this sort of role.

A cloistered vampire can also be used as a sleepless, un-eating and drinking dwarf who is always ready for some [[pull lever|lever pulling]], even if the rest of your dwarves die. With all that said, having an eternally cloistered vampire is not without drawbacks. As vampires do not drink, yet are still alcohol-dependent, they will eventually suffer performance penalties and take longer breaks. This can have fatal consequences if you need the lever to keep the goblin siege outside pulled ''now''. Since dwarves get unhappy [[thought]]s from having their clothes rot away, a vampire that's been naked for years is quite prone to [[tantrum]]ing or going [[insanity|insane]], which can lead to [[Fun|even worse outcomes]] should he be assigned to the lever room. Of course, you could drop him some clothes from a chute, but what fun is that when there are [[cave-in|other]] [[dwarven atom smasher|things]] [[Magma|to]] [[Goblin|drop]] [[Kobold|from]] [[Noble|above?]] Or you could assign the vampire to a squad and supply him with a set of armor, as armor doesn't wear out. Another way to mitigate cloistered vampire unhappiness is to convict them of one or more of their murders after they've been sealed in; they will eventually derive happiness from having their punishment "delayed".

Vampires do increase their stats like other dwarves, so that a weak vampire may be easily upgraded into a mighty one by using him as a miner or easily trained into a legendary swimmer. A vampire craftsdwarf may be burrow-limited to his workshop plus a stockpile or a miner restricted to specific mining levels, avoiding any other miners. It will be safe, if all of the miners have separate, assigned bedrooms.

If a vampire gets injured enough to lose teeth and control of their limbs, the vampire may be in and out of the [[hospital]] frequently for a long time, which gives your medical team lots of experience fast. This can be very useful if the [[biome]] and [[surroundings]] make it so the hospital doesn't see too many patients.

Another possibility, should you be infested by the [[undead]], is to turn as many of your dwarves into vampires as possible; due to not counting as living by the [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] token, undead won't attack your vampire dwarves, turning them into minor annoyances. This may result in mass unhappiness from the lack of blood to drink{{verify}}, but it may be preferable to losing the fortress.

If you have no better idea you can use a vampire to explore the caverns; they are usually good fighters with military experience and will not run off to refill their waterskin. Tangentially, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can make the dwarf your very own Alucard as a trump card against invaders and FBs. Unleash the seals.

So, in general, when under control, vampires tend to be much more useful and valuable than most of your non-bloodsucking dwarves. Without access to any sleeping places or hospitals, they tend to be totally harmless to other dwarves.

== Unfortunate accidents ==
Although keeping a single vampire in eternal solitary confinement can be a bonus for any fortress, it is always important to be capable of killing them whenever necessary (especially if the peasants unwittingly elect one as their leader and an [[unfortunate accident]] becomes necessary). However, vampires have certain abilities which will make it more difficult to properly take care of them—they cannot drown, and their physical strengths could make them tougher to kill with regular weapons. Fortunately, they are not resistant to [[Dwarven atom smasher|high-tech particle physics experimentation]].

== Adventure Mode ==
=== Becoming a vampire ===
There are two ways to become a vampire in Adventurer Mode. The classic method is slaying a vampire and drinking their vampiric blood (or simply attacking them, causing them to bleed and then drinking their blood off the floor), which immediately turns you into a vampire. However, not all vampires have infective blood. What causes a vampire to have non-infective blood is unclear, but it appears to be related to world age.{{bug|9774}} Further research is needed.{{verify}}

Playing as a species of [[animal people]] able to suck blood out of people with a bite attack (a [[leech man]], a [[tick man]], a female [[mosquito man]], etc) allows you to become a vampire by successfully biting and sucking the blood out of a living vampire during combat. While this reverse-vampire-vampirism sounds awesome on paper, however, caution should be taken due to blood-sucking animal people generally being smaller and more fragile than other races, making it very dangerous without careful preparation.

{{new in v0.42}}
The other, safer method is by toppling statues in a temple or sanctuary. Walk up to the statue and topple it with {{K|u}} then {{K|a}}. Toppling a statue in this way will lead you to being cursed: the curse will be either vampirism or werebeast transformation. Which curse you get appears to be randomly decided at the time you topple the statue (reloading the game and toppling it again has been confirmed to give the alternate curse.)

=== Playing as a vampire ===
You will be able to feed on other creatures by using {{k|e}} and choosing the "Feed" option on an unconscious target. On becoming a vampire, Strength, Agility and Toughness are doubled. This is a multiplier effect applied to these attributes and while the affected stats are doubled, the displayed attributes in the statistics menu will not change. As a result, your adventurer can have average strength in the attributes menu but their description will show them as extremely muscular. Physical attributes such as endurance are still able to increase after becoming a vampire.

If you have become a vampire, all warm, blood-bearing bodies that you can't directly see from your position will appear as {{Raw Tile|☼|4:0:1}} tiles. Your {{DFtext|Thirsty}} indicator will also show up as red, instead of blue.

Due to such conditions, it is relatively impossible to quench your thirst (on any member of a civilization) without antagonizing any of your companions, and even if you don't have any, there's still that chance that your victim might wake up in the middle of your feast and effectively set a whole civilization against you. Considering that vampires will not tire, the easiest way to deal with this is to sprint and {{k|j}}ump over a river. Once on the other side you just need to suck the blood of the first creature you find and return to your companions. Note also that by talking to your companions, you can ask them (in the favor menu) to stay where they are, allowing you to walk out of their sight and suck the blood of the first creature you find. One way to counter this is to raid goblin/bandit camps, concentrating on one lone weak unit far from any comrades, beat them till they give in to pain (but not to death) and then feed on them directly. You can do the same with wildlife, although some of them may be more aggressive and most might die too quickly. You can also try to strangle your foes; they instantly pass out and will not die unless you keep on strangling them for a long time. For instructions on chokeholds, see the [[Wrestler#Chokehold and strangling|relevant article]]. Another solution is finding some indoor place with people inside and Sleep so you wake up while they are sleeping. Your companions go wait outside while you sleep, so you have a brief time-window to suck a sleeping person's blood.

After becoming a vampire, you become invincible to zombies, since you're now a night creature. It is usually preferred to raid a necromancer tower alone, because bringing companions will only get them killed, and your agility when you become a vampire will rise drastically anyway, causing you to outrun them. This increased agility will also give you better odds against bogeymen and night trolls, since you'll be quicker than both.

Playing as a vampire is a strong advantage, assuming you can manage your bloodthirst. The most convenient method of drinking blood is to wield a blunt weapon such as a mace: as long as you don't strike the head, enemies rarely bleed out or suffocate from blunt damage and it's easy to force them to give in to the pain. Interestingly, your allies don't seem to care if you drink blood from enemies (Actually as of 40.24 it seems companions actually do care and this can cause a loyalty cascade. It doesn't seem to matter if it's an animal or a sentient being), and blood can be drunk in a single turn in combat (occasionally killing the creature, depending on its size and your thirst). Vampire bloodthirst shows up less often than normal thirst, and can usually be slaked in a single feeding from a human-sized opponent. Feeding from smaller animals, such as dingos, is possible but multiple feedings may be necessary. You are more than able to survive several months (possibly forever){{verify}} without drinking any blood, so don't worry if your thirst includes an exclamation mark with a beautiful bright red color! However, your strength and speed decrease as you get thirstier, so try to feed off of a few bandits before you challenge that angry Bronze Colossus.

Vampires, as noted before, do not need to eat, nor drink (normal fluids), nor sleep. As an adventurer, this is a huge advantage, as you don't need to stop, or worry about carrying consumables. As long as there's living, pain-feeling enemies, you can feed. Vampires also do not need to breathe and do not tire. They can swim as long as necessary and cannot drown, even to the extent of being able to swim oceans. A sufficiently skilled and armed vampire is essentially immortal for all intents and purposes.

=== Finding vampires ===
There are several ways to find a vampire in Adventure Mode.

* Asking local citizens (not nobles, hearthpersons or travelers) about "troubles" and "beasts" will usually point out the nearest ones first.
* Begin a conversation with the aforementioned citizens asking about directions to a being, specifically on the whereabouts of a vampire, named in the format of "the dwarf vampire Urist McBloodsucker".
* Filter the Events list of the Log or the rumor list in conversation for a location nearby. Vampires will be included among 'Beast' entries in the log, in rumor topics they vaguely identify someone's presence in a location and you will have to ask the rumor to get particulars.

Note: Always check the Log Entry's text for the date, as many stale reports will remain active rumors. Ask a knowledgeable traveler to learn their most recent location. If they can't guide you within the site of their last reported location, the vampire is most likely already slain.

Vampires will always have a flashing sprite. If the vampire has been outed, they may also be hostile. If not, you may simply examine NPCs for bone jewelry. This is not fool-proof in 40.11, as veteran soldiers and mercenaries may also wear bone trophies, and more recent vampires may wear none. Accusing the suspect of being a night creature will reveal for certain. A vampire exposed either way also becomes an enemy of the site government and civilization, and therefore fair game to kill.

=== Killing vampires ===
Vampires in Adventure Mode that are in hiding always wield the basic knife all villagers wield and basic clothing. They may also wear jewellery. Their lousy weapons make them a lower threat than you might think. Old vampires with large kill lists still may not be all that effective in combat, since most of their kills are likely stealthy, non combat kills a la Fortress Mode vampires. In some cases the vampire may be accompanied by cultists who will assist the bloodsucker in combat.

Vampires don't breathe or feel pain, so don't bother trying to strangle them or trying to use blunt weapons. Instead just slice them up with something edged, so they rapidly bleed to death, try to decapitate them or use wrestling to break their weapon arm and then finish them off at your leisure.

Vampires attack anyone around them once exposed, so if you like you can allow him to begin attacking random civilians and target him while he's busy or even allow them to weaken him.

Note that even if you tell someone Urist McVampire was a vampire before you tell them you killed Urist McVampire, they may still dislike you as a killer.

P: pit/pond zone
S: statue (in a temple meeting zone)

Using the vampire-maker©:

1: Capture a [[building destroyer]], such as a [[troll]].

2: Throw building destroyer into pit.

3: Throw down useless, weak animals or enemies down until the building destroyer gets a title from it.

4: open bridge.

5: let it destroy the statue. You now have a vampire! (or [[werebeast]].)

(for z1, just make it so it can't get up)

== Modding ==
It is possible to create your own unique vampire strain by editing the raws. These custom vampires can be outfitted with various abilities only limited by your own creativity. An example would be shapeshifting vampires, firebreathing vampires, superfast vampires, and even vampires with the ability to raise corpses are fairly easy to make by creating a custom ''interaction_customvampirenamehere'' note document.

== Bugs ==
* Dwarven vampires remain dependent on alcohol but will not drink anything except blood in fortress mode, so inevitably end up showing symptoms of [[Alcohol#Consequences of a Sober Fortress|alcohol withdrawal]]. This has not been acknowledged as a bug. {{bug|5189}}
* Statues and engravings may identify dwarves as vampires before it is common knowledge, and may even depict them sucking blood.{{bug|5209}}
* Likewise, [[pet]]s adopted by vampires will identify them as vampires in the adoption [[announcement]].{{bug|5942}}
* Vampires do not bother claiming bedrooms, which doesn't help their disguise.{{bug|5642}}
* Weapon kill lists identify vampires.{{bug|5635}}
* Soldiers will not attack vampires caught red-handed, and can be fooled by their counter-accusations.{{bug|5087}}
* Dwarves passing by a body drained of all blood will immediately drop what they are doing to report it to the captain of the guard, regardless of how many times it has already been reported.{{bug|8899}}

Embark

Russ3Z: /* Plant Life */ fix link

{{Quality|Masterwork|22:49, 20 September 2016 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

'''Embark''' is the time at the very beginning of [[Fortress mode]] before actual gameplay begins (but after [[World generation|generating a world]]), when you and your initial [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Dwarfs 7 dwarves]:
# Choose a site.
# Assign starting [[skill]]s to each dwarf.
# Select an initial load of [[Embark#Supplies|supplies and equipment]].
# Arrive at the site with your wagon full of supplies.

==Choosing a Site==
The main considerations to keep in mind when choosing a site are the presence of aquifers, the availability of wood, ores, & soil, the climate, and your neighbors.
There is just ONE BIG RULE: when your home civilization is too small, you will recognize after the second winter that you won't get any more [[Immigration|immigrants]], which can be [[Fun|extremely fun]]. To avoid this situation, select a home civilization with ''at least'' two dwarven sites on the map.

[[File:Embark.jpg|center|Choose Fortress Location screen (v0.31.19)]]

The Choose Fortress Location screen shows four separate sections, with three of them being views of the land at different levels of magnification: Local, Region, and World. A section of highlighted tiles in the Local view indicates the current embark location within the region. The local view constitutes a 16x16 grid of embark area tiles (each representing 48x48 tiles when you are playing the game) that is within a single region tile. The world map cannot be directly controlled, and exists only to give you the overall view of where, relative to the rest of the features of the world, the region map is focused on.

The arrow keys control the X cursor in the center "Region" view while {{k|u}}, {{k|m}}, {{k|k}}, and {{k|h}} move the embark location around within the Local view. {{k|U}}, {{k|M}}, {{k|K}}, and {{k|H}} will resize the embark location.

The size of the embark location directly affects how much data about a map the game will have to store in your computer's memory and the size of your save files. This may correspondingly make pathfinding more resource-intensive, generally [[Frames per second|slow your game down]], and have a dramatic effect on the save and load times for your map. As such, smaller maps are recommended, especially for less powerful computers. Remember that each tile on your embark screen is 48x48 tiles large.

On the far right of the screen is a list of local features in the dominant biome. Individual biomes, which form at least one map-tile of your embark location, can be cycled with the {{k|F#}}-keys; for example, an area with 3 biomes present can be cycled using {{k|F1}}, {{k|F2}} and {{k|F3}}. The selected biome will be highlighted with flashing Xs on the Local Map, and the biome's information will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

===Biomes===
{{Main|Biome}}

A '''biome''' is a biotic area with homogeneous features, characterized by distinctive [[plant]]s, [[creature|animal species]] and [[climate]].

In the above image, the biome is "Temperate Savanna", and the region the biome is part of is given a specific name: "The Velvety Hill", part of the continent "The Jade Horn-Land".

Biomes will also contain only one set of stone layers, though these usually expand beyond a single biome. Your [[dwarf|dwarves]] will find different resources depending on which biomes they select when starting a fort.

Biomes are important when choosing a fortress location in order to understand your [[surroundings]].

====Climate====
{{Main|Climate}}

Climate determines the maximum temperature range of the region, which in turn impacts the severity of exposure to the outside, whether water will freeze in winter, and how quickly water evaporates.

The climate is displayed as "Temperature: Warm" in the above image.

Very hot and very cold biomes bring their own challenges, which may be further compounded with overlapping features, such as a glacier being frozen for half the year, and being devoid of trees, and lacking a river. Very hot climates may see all their surface water quickly evaporate, making finding a water supply more dangerous, as underground caves filled with hostile creatures may be the only supply of water.

====Plant Life====
{{Main|Tree|Shrub}}

Seen in the above image as "Trees: Sparse" and "Other Vegetation: Moderate".

Trees are useful for the [[wood]] they provide, and wood is a basic building material, important for being the only material that can be used to create beds. Also, because creating bins and barrels from metal is an involved process involving more steps, less common resources, and fuel, wood is often preferred for making these items as well. Wood is also a source of [[fuel|charcoal]], one possible [[fuel]] used to make metal products in standard smelters and forges and required for making steel even when you have magma forges. Wood is also useful in making [[potash]], for soap or fertilizing farms.

Despite wood's many uses, it is entirely possible to play without any trees in your biomes. Due to the inexpensive nature of wood, it is possible to simply embark with a large quantity and rely on trade caravans from the elves, humans, and dwarves for your wood needs. Also, at a certain point, trees can be farmed in muddied underground areas regardless of how barren the surface is.

Shrubs can provide some quick food through the [[herbalist]] skill, [[still|brewable materials]], and [[seed]]s for some very helpful above-ground [[crops]] which are generally only available through trading with Elves.

====Surroundings====
{{Main|Surroundings}}

Surroundings affect how powerful and hostile local wildlife will be, and some forms of plants are available only in specific types of surroundings.

The surroundings of the example image are listed as "Surroundings: Wilderness".

Any biome can have any set of surroundings; for example a glacier could be haunted, wilderness or mirthful. However, a named region (which is a contiguous area of one category of biomes, such as forests or wetlands) will be either good, neutral, or evil.

There are two axes for surroundings: savagery and alignment. Calm and neutral savagery are functionally identical. Savage lands are like normal lands, except they will frequently have giant or hostile humanoid versions of normal animals. For example, you might have a [[Tigerman]] instead of "merely" a [[tiger]] in a savage jungle.

Good biomes are similar to neutral biomes, except have more fanciful (and generally benign) creatures like [[pixie]]s, [[fluffy wambler]]s, or [[unicorn]]s, and are generally no more dangerous than neutral biomes. Evil biomes are home to many dangerous creatures, often dead vegetation and even including undead versions of normal creatures, making for a far more hostile environment specifically for players who want to face a greater challenge to stay alive, especially early on. Trees might not grow in an evil area.

It is possible to start a fortress that overlaps multiple alignment types (for example good, evil, savage, and benign). Some players consider this desirable, as it provides diversity in your little corner of the world, but it also has its dangers in the form of more ferocious wildlife.

====Layers====
{{Main|Layer|Ore|Stone}}

At the bottom right of the biome view, some of the main features of the site are reported. You will be told whether the biome has a layer of soil on top of it (and how thick it is), and whether that soil includes [[clay]]. Deep soil layers make underground farming extremely quick to set up, as no [[irrigation]] will be needed. If there are metal ores, ''Shallow metal(s)'' and/or ''Deep metal(s)'' are reported. Metals count as "shallow" if they are within the first two stone layers, unless the biome is a Shallow Ocean (shows "little soil") or a Sand Desert, in which case it counts the first five stone layers as "shallow". [[Flux]] is also reported if present.

The depth of the soil layers is indicated by light brown text: ''Little soil'', ''Some soil'', ''Deep soil'' or ''Very deep soil''. Clay is reported as either ''Shallow Clay'' or ''Clay''. [[Sand]] is ''not'' reported here; the only way to be sure you'll have sand is to embark on a Sand Desert. (Note that [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]]'s ``embark-tools`` plugin can be used to add a sand indicator.)

You won't be told which kinds of metals are present. Your best bet for finding the raw materials for making [[steel]] is to look for a site with ''Shallow metals'' (note the plural) and ''Flux''. A biome with shallow metals listed has an extremely high chance of containing [[iron]]-bearing ores in a sedimentary layer near the surface. Failing that, you're practically guaranteed to get some [[copper]] ore (tetrahedrite).

====Aquifer====
{{Main|Aquifer}}

An aquifer is a layer of soil or stone saturated with water, and a biome may contain up to 3 aquifer layers (theoretically more, but such would be rare to say the least). Embarking on an aquifer brings up a warning before embark as an aquifer can significantly raise the difficulty of starting a fort. For specific tactics on working with an aquifer, see ''[[Aquifer]]''.

===Changing Views===
Pressing {{k|Tab}} will cycle the presented information through a variety of different views and panels.
*Neighbors - other civilizations that are closest to your current location. Proximity increases the chance of interaction, though at present this largely means "nearby goblins are more likely to attack you." If any race is not represented on this page, it means that the civilization cannot reach you if you are in that location. Embarking on an [[island]], or a location completely surrounded by mountains will make it impossible for any civilization but your own dwarven civilization to reach you, as world map travel across oceans or mountains is impossible. If not even "Dwarves" appears, it means that your home civilization is dead, and there will be no [[immigration]] waves or [[Trading#Caravans|trade caravans]] from your home civilization. If this is the case, it is recommended you change to a still-existent civilization unless you want the challenge of having no support from the mountainhomes. Races that are hostile to you are represented by a series of red "-" marks or "WAR". The latter means you will get sieged by that race, while "------" stands only for diplomatic hostility (usually from baby snatching in worldgen). They'll still siege (eventually), and the first time they do will constitute a declaration of war{{verify}}. In vanilla DF, goblins are always hostile, but humans or elves may also be at war with particular dwarven civilizations.
*Your Civilization - indicates all Dwarven civilizations in the world. {{k|+}} and {{k|-}} will cycle through the civilizations allowing you to choose which your settlers will be embarking from. Civilization choice will affect who is at war with you, what goods are available for trade and at embark, who your regent will be (considering [[Main:Cacame Awemedinade|one might be surprised by who turns out to be one's regent]]), and if there are any surviving members of your civilization left to migrate to or trade with your fort. Some of this information is only viewable in [[Legends]] Mode, but you can view accessible goods and materials after hitting {{k|e}}mbark by looking at what items you can choose to embark with. If you don't like the options, simply {{k|Esc}} to get the main menu and choose Abort Game. You will have to find the site again, but it saves you from needing to abandon the fortress.
*Relative Elevation - Shows the land height relative to the lowest point in the region.
*Cliff Indicator - Shows the severity of cliffs. With the exception of rivers that cut through mountains, even apparently very steep cliffs will still have ramps that make it perfectly accessible for any creature or even the wagons in caravans (unless you have turned erosion off).

===Reclaiming a fortress===
{{Main|Reclaim fortress mode}}
If you [[Reclaim fortress mode|reclaim the site]] of an abandoned fortress, upon arrival you may see goods, materials, and corpses left from the previous effort. These items will initially be [[forbid|forbidden]] and you will have to [[Reclaim|reclaim items]] before your dwarves will acknowledge their existence, for example to haul them to a graveyard or refuse [[stockpile]].

==Creating Your Settlers==
===Play Now!===
You can forgo the process of assigning skills and supplies and instead select '''Play Now!''' This option will give you a selection of dwarves, with the following profiles:

* Miner: Adequate Miner
* Woodworker: Novice Carpenter, Bowyer
* Woodcutter: Novice Wood Cutter, Furnace Operator, Wood Burner, Grower, Herbalist, Brewer, Cook, Lye Maker, and Potash Maker
* Stoneworker: Novice Mason, Engraver, Building Designer, and Mechanic
* Jeweler: Novice Stone Crafter, Wood Crafter, Bone Carver, Gem Cutter, and Gem Setter
* Fisherdwarf: Novice Fisherdwarf
* Fish Cleaner: Novice Weaver, Clothier, Butcher, Tanner, Leatherworker, and Fish Cleaner
One of these will be randomly flagged as Expedition Leader at the start.

The default embark value for a custom embark is 1504 embark points. Either 1104 or 1304 points are spent in [[#Supplies|pre-chosen goods]] (depending on if an iron or steel anvil is used), 54 points in dogs and cats, and 200 or 400 unassigned (depending on if a steel or iron anvil was given). The Play Now! embark only uses either 1158 or 1358 points. While a Play Now! embark is no more doomed than any other embark, it is always better to Prepare Carefully once you know what you're doing with the set up of an early fort.

===Prepare Carefully===
Preparing allows the player to customize their embarking party and supplies by spending a pool of points which is shared between skills and equipment, with each skill rank and equipment item having a set value. The total value of embarking is set at 1,504 points, though all but 200 or 400 of these are pre-spent on an array of [[#Supplies|basic equipment]] (the same equipment Play Now! uses). It stands that one should try to maximize the value of their embark by spending all available points. By preparing carefully it is also possible to [[Fortress name|name]] your fortress and your embark group.

====Using the menu====
Use {{k|Tab}} to switch between selecting Skills and Items. Use the 4 directional keys or number pad to navigate to highlight the different choices/columns, and {{k|+}} or {{k|-}} to choose more or less of the highlighted item or skill. When viewing items, hit {{k|n}} to go to a menu for any "new" items, that are not currently listed, including any you removed by reducing the number to 0; select the item, hit {{k|Enter}}, then increase the number desired as above ({{k|+}} or {{k|-}}) in the main menu.

If you cannot buy additional skill levels, you are out of points and must return some items for additional points. Higher-priced items will automatically be removed from view when selecting new items if you do not have enough points for those selections, showing only what you can afford with your current points.

====Skills====
{{Main|Skill}}

The seven settlers you begin with can be assigned up to ten skill ranks picked from the entire Dwarven skill list, including military, though only a maximum of 5 ranks can be bought in any one skill (for a maximum starting rank of "Proficient"). Skill ranks are bought from the shared pool at a cost of 5 for the first rank, 6 for the second, 7 for the third, and so on. Maxing out a skill thus costs a total of 35 points. Although this is already fairly involved, between the long skill list and the floating cost, the value of a rank is subject to further scrutiny given the early-game value, or lack thereof, of certain skills as well as the relative ease or difficulty of training ranks in a given skill. Many skills are performed just as well by a Novice (skill level 1) or even a Dabbler (level 0) as they are by a Legendary (level 15+). A Novice Furnace Operator won't produce Coke as fast as a Legendary Furnace Operator, but they will produce it fast enough to keep their neighbor smelting hematite until the cows come home.

For a more complex example, there is much overlap between what can be produced out of wood and what can be produced out of metal, but wood is plentiful in the early game (often throughout, if a tree farm is established, and caravans will bring in several pages worth of wood if you request it) while metalworking can take much longer to establish, or would take several times longer to produce a given product in the early game due to the multiple steps required. Metalworking skills also train slower than woodworking, and metal products have a longer base production time than wood products.

From one point of view, the Woodworking skills would be of more immediate use in producing quick goods of higher value in the early game, especially given the high volume needed; however furniture quality is of little concern in the early game, and the high volume of value-independent goods (such as barrels which you won't be trading away on their own or using to furnish chambers) will cause your carpenter to train his skills fairly quickly. Even on a strictly functional level, a Novice carpenter can produce beds, barrels, and bins fast enough to keep up with a fledgling base. Lastly, once metal production is up and running, it can be agonizingly slow if a Farmer or Peasant has to be reassigned to learn from scratch, thus a proficient Metalsmith stands to pay off much more in time than starting with a proficient Carpenter. Consider as well that you may receive a highly skilled Metalsmith during an [[immigration]] wave, if you care to take that chance.

====Supplies====
The default array of supplies covers a broad range of foodstuffs, seeds, drink, tools, and medical equipment, and is reasonable, though extra food and drink never hurt anyone.

:* 2 Copper [[pick]]s*
:* 2 Copper [[battle axe]]s*
:* 1 Iron [[anvil]] (or steel anvil if your home civilization has no access to iron)
:* 1 [[Wheelbarrow]] (if possible)
:* 1 [[Stepladder]]
:* 60 units dwarven [[alcohol]] (at least 20 each of up to 3 random types, in 12 barrels)
:* 6 bags containing 5 [[seed]]s of each of [[dimple cup]], [[cave wheat]], [[plump helmet]], [[sweet pod]], [[pig tail]], and [[quarry bush]].
:* 15 units of [[meat]] (one random type, 10 + 5 units in 2 barrels)
:* 15 units of [[fish]] (one random type, 10 + 5 units in 2 barrels)
:* 15 units of [[plump helmet]]s (10 + 5 units in 2 barrels)
:* 5 pig tail fiber [[thread]]
:* 5 pig tail fiber [[cloth]]
:* 5 pig tail fiber [[bag]]s
:* 3 pig tail fiber [[rope]]s
:* 3 wooden [[bucket]]s
:* 3 wooden [[splint]]s
:* 3 wooden [[crutch]]es
:* 2 female [[dog]]s†
:* 2 female [[cat]]s†
:* 2 random of [[horse]], [[yak]], or [[water buffalo]] (These 2 pack animals are always given and don't cost embark points for players "preparing carefully".)

<nowiki>*</nowiki> Previously if your home civilization did not have access to copper, you would start with bronze picks and battle axes instead, but there has not been evidence of this occurring since v0.44 of Dwarf Fortress.

† Cats and dogs are only included by default in the Play Now! package. To start with them when you "Prepare Carefully", you need to go into the pets list to add them.

Do not overlook the value of bringing animals. Dogs in particular can provide an excellent early warning system, good fighters against kobolds and other thieves, and a healthy supply of meat and bones. Cats are useful for controlling the vermin population, but beware the [[Fun|dangers]] of a [[catsplosion]].

When settling on a site with few trees, one should definitely consider bringing extra logs to cover the early demand for beds and such.

You may also want to consider replacing the pig tail fiber items with much cheaper cave spider silk items (regular, not giant).

Note that the types of supplies available can vary depending on what materials are available at the nearest capital of your civilization. For example, certain types of stone or bars may not be listed at all if they are not available at your Mountainhome.

If your civilization lacks copper or iron (or both), the increased costs for standard-issue metal equipment can eat up the embark point advantage that Prepare Carefully has over Play Now!, but the option to customise point allocation still gives careful preparation an edge.

====Saving a starting mix====
Once you have the mix of items and skills that you like, you can hit {{k|s}} and save it to a template with a custom name. In a later game, you can pick that profile when you embark. If your selected civilization does not have some of the desired items in your template, this is announced clearly, and a different civilization can be tried as described above, or you can continue and change your mix.

If you match skills to the [[preferences]] and [[personality|personalities]] of your dwarves, it may be an idea not to include any skills in such a template, as they will simply be applied in the original order to the current dwarves as they appear on the list.

If you find additional items that you wish to add (perhaps another type of cheap meat, or an ore not previously available), you can edit those in by hitting {{k|s}}, overwriting your old template. You can also go into the .txt file, located at data/init/embark_profiles, and edit in the SKILLS or ITEMS as you want - the syntax is fairly straightforward.

==Embark Strategies==
{{Main|Starting build}}

The strategies below are suggestions. They are not universal, and many are even contradictory. This is because there is no one true way to play Dwarf Fortress. Some may not work for you because of unstated assumptions about priority, value, fun, or procedure. However, since Losing is Fun, it's always worth it to try something out, even if it doesn't go well.

===Picking the Right Location===
'''Need More Dirt''' - three layers of soil before the stone layers begin provides a very large area that can be used to quickly carve out efficient storage rooms, as well as easy construction of large farms and tree farms without the need to flood/muddy large areas of stone.

'''Flowing Water (and its inverse)''' - Flowing water (river or stream) is a must-have for the infinite power it supplies for working machinery, and because underground water supplies are too dangerous to tap into. There is no guarantee of infinite water underground, you could embark on a map with completely dry caverns. However, rainier climates will always have murky pools, which with careful management can be refilled from the rain. Infinite power for working machinery can be created using a limited amount of water in a perpetual motion machine. Although, being limited in quantity, murky pools simply do not have the capacity to permanently flood your fortress, while a single mistake with an infinite source can easily do so.

'''FPS''' - often overlooked, this is perhaps the most consequential decision you will make during embark. FPS drops slowly as fortresses get more people, and create more stuff(the game has to simulate all of these people and the stuff they are making). Having a site that takes little resources to simulate can go a long way to mitigating this problem. The major FPS-eaters to look out for are trees(deciduous trees especially, as they shed their leaves annually), and flowing and/or falling water(the latter being worse on FPS). See the article on [[Maximizing framerate]] for considerations. Of all the things you can do to help with FPS, picking a new site is not one of them. Planning for this early on will save you a lot of headaches if you manage to keep a fort alive for more than a decade.

===Preparation Strategies===
'''Free Barrels''' - many products are stored in bins, barrels, or bags and do not stack with other items even if they're in the same broad classification. Plump Helmets and Horse Meat come in separate barrels even though they're both food. Purchasing a single item of food (or increasing the number to one above the storage limit of the barrel i.e. 11, 21, 31) will also produce a free barrel for it to be stored in. As barrels have a cost of 10 to buy empty, buying a single unit of cost 2 foodstuffs gets you a value of 5. Anything above cost 2 bought for the express purpose of getting barrels would be better off just buying barrels empty or raw logs. This concept can be extended to many different goods, and for any stored good you were "going to buy anyway" you should avoid buying exactly a containerful. Do not get 20, get 21. One unit of milk comes in a single barrel.
* Note that meat products from the same animal will store in the same barrel, thus 1 unit of Horse Meat and 1 unit of Horse Tripe will only get you one barrel, not two.
* Upon arrival you can build a kitchen and prepare lavish meals out of all those single units of meat. This will "compress" your food, and free up some barrels for brewing. Size of stacks of food from cooking is equal to sum of stack sizes of ingredients, so you lose nothing.

'''Cheaper food''' - you can bring lots of [[milk]] (worth 1 embark point each), build a [[farmer's workshop]], and make [[cheese]] out of that milk. Combine this with the trick for free barrels, cook lavish meals out of that cheese and meat, and you will get some free barrels, and good quality food for cheap. Making milk into cheese is very fast and requires no skill, you just need to enable cheese making on your cook or brewer. Pick 1 unit of milk from each species and each one will come with a free barrel.
* To save on alcohol (you should probably still bring some of it, though) get plump helmets for 4 embark points each. Remember to disable cooking them in z -> Kitchen menu. Build a still, and brew them all, each will make 5 units of alcohol. You can supplement this with gathering and brewing local plants.
* Cooking lavish meals out of 1 unit of meat, and full barrels of alcohol made on the spot from plump helmets (known as booze cooking) can produce even more food, but only if one knows how to do it.
* When choosing all that different food, be smart. Press "n" Go to "Meat" section, press "e", and search for one particular kind of food, "meat", for example. Press enter, rinse and repeat. This way, you can quickly add food from different animals and be sure you don't have any 2 foods from the same species. Also, it's good to make a template so you won't have to do the whole thing all over again when you start another fortress.

'''Cheap Bags''' - while even the cheapest bags (made from cave spider silk and low-value leather) cost 10 points each, you can instead simply bring several units of [[sand]] costing 1 point each, as each unit of sand will be stored in its own bag made from a randomly selected material (including giant cave spider silk and valuable creature leather).

'''Don't Really Need That''' - unless you have tailored your embark for metal production quick and early, an anvil is typically unnecessary and the 100 points you get from refunding it can be better spent on skills or additional foodstuffs (can't really have enough foodstuffs). By the time the Dwarven caravan arrives in the fall, a 100☼ iron anvil, or even a 300☼ steel anvil, should be little more than an inconvenience. This can sometimes be <s>problematic</s> [[Fun]] if you are unlucky and the caravan does not bring an anvil.

'''REALLY Don't Need That''' - For players more familiar with the game. Bring no pre-constructed goods (weapons, buckets, etc.), just the materials to make them with. This requires several (3-10, though you're likely to bring way more) logs, some fire-safe stone (ores are fine if you don't mind some micromanagment), a few nuggets of copper ore, and an anvil. Upon arrival, build a Wood Furnace and a Forge, make charcoal, then picks for the [[miner]]s and an axe for [[wood cutter]]s. Medical supplies should be unnecessary to start with, because if you need them <s>you're screwed</s> you'll have [[Fun]]. You may want to bring some [[rope]] (or just [[thread]]) along though. You can start your fortress with just 106☼ worth of items (iron anvil - 100☼, 1 copper nuggets for 1 pick - 6☼, logs can be gathered from deconstructing the wagon and made into 1 training axe - 0☼ (training axes no longer cut trees in newer versions), fire-safe building material = ash - 0☼, everything else can be made with the raw materials you get from wood-cutting and mining.).

'''Yes, I Do Need That''' - DON'T EVER leave without alcohol unless you have a [[brewer]] and a way to gather plants early (untrained [[herbalist]]s designated after embarking are enough) or a safe water source (preferably flowing).

'''Trees''' are a multi-[[tile]] feature that can be found aboveground on all but the most arid or mountainous of maps, and below ground in the [[caverns]]. The types of trees that grow in a given location depend on that location's [[biome]], as different species prefer different conditions. For example, tropical areas often have palm trees, while colder areas feature pines. Underground trees such as [[nether-cap]]s are an exception, as they will grow anywhere underground. The species of a tree in turn determines its properties, including its structure, the color and density of its wood and what kind of growths it produces. Note also that "trees" in ''Dwarf Fortress'' also covers things that are not actually trees, such as palms, cacti, large herbaceous plants (e.g. [[banana]]s), and large mushrooms (underground trees).

Trees are used as a source of [[wood]], an essential resource in the game, irreplaceable (or hard to replace) for some applications. Thus, the amount of local trees greatly affects fortress development, as without a ready source of wood, the player will be forced to rely on [[trade]] to get it. Tree growth density on the embark site is determined by its [[biome]], so it's displayed with the rest of the biome properties (temperature, etc.) on the "Choose Fortress Location" screen at [[embark]].

[[File:Tree animated.gif|thumb|Animation of all z-levels of an [[Apricot]] tree]]
Trees consist of several types of tiles - '''roots''', '''trunk''' sections, '''thick branches''', '''branches''', and '''twigs''', that may be covered in a number of "growths" (leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, cones, etc.), depending on species and season. A single tree is a structure that can span multiple tiles of each type in both horizontal and vertical directions. For example, a typical deciduous tree will have a single tile-wide trunk at ground level supporting a multiple-level crown of intertwined trunk sections, branches and twigs covered with leaves. Not all species follow the same scheme, though - palms have a high, naked trunk that doesn't branch and just a tuft of leaves on top of it, and some species can have trunks that are thicker than a single tile at ground level. Trees also have an underground system of roots, but there is only one kind of root tile and the extent of the root system doesn't seem to vary with species.

Graphically, vertical 1x1 trunk sections resemble wooden columns {{tile|O|6:0}}. The thicker trunks (2x2 and 3x3) are represented by rounded double-line structures. Above the first ground level the trunk may branch out, producing horizontal trunk sections that resemble wooden [[wall]]s {{tile|║|6:0}}. These can peter out into thick branches {{tile|│|6:0}} or end directly with branches {{tile|¼|2:0}}. The branches can extend further out, ending with twigs {{tile|;|2:0}}. A vertical trunk end, if not covered with a branch, is represented by a pointed cap {{tile|⌂|6:0}}.

Root tiles ({{tile|¼|6:0}}) overlap a number of underground tiles below each tree. They can be designated for digging, but because they usually use the same brown color as the mining designation rectangle, the designation is not evident (the only exceptions are trees with white roots). Some trees can have multiple tiles of roots, others just the one{{verify}}.

There are exceptions to the description above. [[Saguaro]]s don't have any leafy branches or twigs, just a trunk and thick branches. Mushroom cap trees that grow in the caverns underground don't have branches - instead they have a '''cap'''
consisting of ramps that can be walked up on.

Trees can be [[climb]]ed in both fortress and [[adventurer mode]]. In densely wooded areas, the overlapping tree crowns can form a continuous canopy that can be traversed by walking, climbing and/or jumping. Both thick and regular branches provide a floor-like support for walking. Twigs are too frail to support the weight of a dwarf, but they can be climbed through and jumped over. All kinds of trunk tiles are treated as solid barriers, except trunk tips - they can be climbed through and jumped over like twigs.

On ground level, tree trunks are obstacles that prevent [[channel]]ing or the creation of [[wall]]s and other [[construction]]s on their tiles. This is problematic for caravan [[wagon]]s, which require a path at least three tiles wide in order to access your fortress; on heavily forested maps it may be necessary to check [[trade depot|depot]] access ({{k|D}}) every once in a while as trees continue to grow to make sure wagons can get through, and chop down ({{k|d}}-{{k|t}}) the impeding forest if they can't. Later on this can actually become a blessing, as if there is only one or a few pathways to the fortress it makes it easier to route incoming caravans down certain well-defended pathways, instead of allowing them to choose their own way across the map, where they may fall foul of ambushers or worse. It also makes building above-ground constructions more challenging, as any trees in the way must be chopped down first.

=== Growths ===
Growths are the things that grow ''on'' a tree, i.e. they are not an essential part of the tree's structure and can be shed or picked without destroying the tree. This includes leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, seed pods, catkins, cones, etc. Each tree species has at least one type of growth, the most common one unsurprisingly being leaves.

The leaves of deciduous trees change color in the autumn, fall before the winter and grow back in the spring. Fallen leaves will color the tiles beneath their trees, turning the forest floor into colorful patchwork.

Trees of fruit-producing species usually grow flowers in spring and fruit later in the year. Flowers will fall in a cloud during the transition from flowers to fruit; the cloud is shown falling, and loo{{k|k}}ing at the ground after that will show "<tree> flowers" in addition to other tile contents. Both flowers and fruit appear and fall at set times through the year, so it's possible that a young tree that has never flowered will give fruit.

Fruit can be picked from trees in Adventure mode. Fortress mode harvesting is done with a [[stepladder]] (as long as the fruit-bearing tree is within a plant gathering zone) or by collecting fallen fruits. Fruit can be brewed at a [[still]]. Cutting a tree with fruit causes the fruits to vanish{{verify}}.

== Chopping down trees ==
{{main|Woodcutting}}

Trees can be cut down by dwarves to produce [[wood]]. It is enough to [[designations menu|designate]] only one trunk tile for cutting to chop down the whole tree it belongs to. Any trunk tile will do, even those that are above ground, or even a single tile of a multi-tile trunk. As a result, it's impossible to "prune" trees by chopping down only parts of them.

Once a woodcutter is done with the first tile, the tree instantly converts to a number of free-floating logs that fall to the ground in a direction away from the cutter. Cutting a tree from a trunk section above ground level may result in the woodcutter losing their footing and crashing to the ground (similar to having a tile deconstructed under their feet).

If you dug the tile below the trunk before cutting the tree, it will leave a hole to the surface, potentially allowing dangerous creatures to path into your underground fort. Avoid digging directly below one z-level in wooded areas before clearing out the trees, and make sure to check for open floor spaces {{Tile|·|0:1}} on the surface afterwards. If holes are present, construct [[floor]] tiles over the holes, which will prevent creatures from moving below. Constructing a wall below the open floor will work as well. Unexplained underground logs can alert you to the presence of these "guest entrances". Moving a building preview all around the surface (kennels are good for their size) and inspecting any non-ramp or tree invalid tiles can sweep large areas.

If you had [[smoothing|smoothed]] the wall below the trunk and then cut down the tree, it will leave an open floor above the smoothed wall, unlike constructed walls (see this [[tile#Walls|diagram]] for a visual illustration). If there is an open space adjacent to the smoothed wall, creatures can diagonally move below the adjacent space (by swimming, flying, or climbing) from the open floor above. Such occurrences should be uncommon, as it requires the tile below the tree to be made of stone (so it can be smoothed), and occur mainly in [[mountain]] biomes and areas affected by erosion.

== Products ==
=== Wood ===
{{main|Wood}}

One of the variations between the different tree species is in the weight and color of their wood. Weight is often a minor concern but when using wood to create objects that will be moved, such as bins or buckets, choosing lighter wood is an advantage as it will be hauled faster. Heavier wood will make wooden weapons and siege engine projectiles more effective, while lighter wooden shields reduce penalties to speed while blocking just as well as heavier shields.

Nonetheless, all types of wood have the same (low) value (beyond the [[preference]]s of individual dwarves), although the [[color]] of the wood may matter for aesthetic purposes.

=== Fruit ===
Various kinds of tree produce fruit. In [[dwarf fortress mode]], they can be gathered with a [[stepladder]] in a designated [[zone#Plant collection|plant gathering zone]]. [[Elf|Elves]] will also bring fruit to [[trading|trade]]. Fruit can be eaten, producing [[seed]]s.

== Growing trees ==
From the time a sapling appears, it takes about 3 years for a tree to grow. From that point on, trees grow only once every 10 years, as defined by the TRUNK_PERIOD tag. Currently all trees share the same 10 year value for trunk growth. Presumably this will be changed in the future to reflect accurate growth rates for different species. Given this disparity in grow times, it's far more efficient to cut down trees as they grow rather than attempting to let them grow to a larger/full size. Growing a full-sized tree will take around 80 years; well beyond the lifespan of most forts.

Trees grow from '''saplings''', which start growing randomly on non-occupied tiles of a suitable biome; thus chopping down a forest may create a clearing, but within a couple of years a new forest will have grown. Saplings can be killed by heavy [[traffic|foot traffic]], but not by flooding — they can survive submergence for extended periods of time and will still grow to maturity once the water level drops to 4/7{{verify}} or lower. Dead saplings will remain for some seasons, and then disappear, more quickly if heavy traffic tramples them away. Many underground trees are called "young <tree>" instead of sapling, but the concept is the same. Saplings will not grow to maturity if their tile contains an item or building (including stockpile designations), though removing the item may cause the tree to spontaneously grow up. Paved [[road]]s and [[farm plot]]s periodically purge all terrain features below them, preventing trees (or shrubs) from growing in unwanted areas. Trees cannot grow on stairs or ramps, making it possible to keep trees out of your plumbing by using {{K|u}}p stairs instead of {{K|d}}igging (this does not reveal the tile above). Above-ground trees will only grow in areas where there is sufficient soil 1 Z-level beneath them (currently observed to be at least one unmined tile within a two-tile radius); underground trees not only ignore this restriction for dry subterranean soil but will also grow on muddy subterranean stone. Additionally, saplings on soil cavern floors will block the construction of farm plots unless there is also a dusting or pile of mud beneath them.

Trees ''cannot'' be specifically "planted"([http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html as of yet]); even if a map is stripped of all trees, new saplings will regrow, randomly and in their own time. Sadly, the [[elf|elves]] do not seem to comprehend this. It is possible to [[tree farming|farm]] trees by walling off or engineering a patch of soil and locking it away so your dwarves don't trample all over it, but it will take a long time for the farm to yield results. After you expose the [[caverns]], subterranean flora (including trees) will begin to grow on any exposed and previously bare soil within your fortress; this can be annoying when a copse of blood thorns suddenly appears in your [[sand#Glass|sand collection]] area, but allows you to easily mine out large subterranean tree farms full of colorful subterranean trees.

If a sapling grows into a tree, it can block off narrow areas, such as one tile long hallways in a muddy cavern layer. This can cause dwarves to take longer alternate routes to perform their jobs, or entrap them entirely.

== Standard Trees ==

These are the trees defined in the file plant_standard.txt. Before v40.0.1, trees were a single-tile feature. Since then, they were heavily redesigned and became multi-tiled. They also now produce growths, some of which can be eaten or cooked.

}}
'''Trees''' are a multi-[[tile]] feature that can be found aboveground on all but the most arid or mountainous of maps, and below ground in the [[caverns]]. The types of trees that grow in a given location depend on that location's [[biome]], as different species prefer different conditions. For example, tropical areas often have palm trees, while colder areas feature pines. Underground trees such as [[nether-cap]]s are an exception, as they will grow anywhere underground. The species of a tree in turn determines its properties, including its structure, the color and density of its wood and what kind of growths it produces. Note also that "trees" in ''Dwarf Fortress'' also covers things that are not actually trees, such as palms, cacti, large herbaceous plants (e.g. [[banana]]s), and large mushrooms (underground trees).

Trees are used as a source of [[wood]], an essential resource in the game, irreplaceable (or hard to replace) for some applications. Thus, the amount of local trees greatly affects fortress development, as without a ready source of wood, the player will be forced to rely on [[trade]] to get it. Tree growth density on the embark site is determined by its [[biome]], so it's displayed with the rest of the biome properties (temperature, etc.) on the "Choose Fortress Location" screen at [[embark]].

== Structure ==
[[File:Tree animated.gif|thumb|Animation of all z-levels of an [[Apricot]] tree]]
Trees consist of several types of tiles - '''roots''', '''trunk''' sections, '''thick branches''', '''branches''', and '''twigs''', that may be covered in a number of "growths" (leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, cones, etc.), depending on species and season. A single tree is a structure that can span multiple tiles of each type in both horizontal and vertical directions. For example, a typical deciduous tree will have a single tile-wide trunk at ground level supporting a multiple-level crown of intertwined trunk sections, branches and twigs covered with leaves. Not all species follow the same scheme, though - palms have a high, naked trunk that doesn't branch and just a tuft of leaves on top of it, and some species can have trunks that are thicker than a single tile at ground level. Trees also have an underground system of roots, but there is only one kind of root tile and the extent of the root system doesn't seem to vary with species.

Graphically, vertical 1x1 trunk sections resemble wooden columns {{tile|O|6:0}}. The thicker trunks (2x2 and 3x3) are represented by rounded double-line structures. Above the first ground level the trunk may branch out, producing horizontal trunk sections that resemble wooden [[wall]]s {{tile|║|6:0}}. These can peter out into thick branches {{tile|│|6:0}} or end directly with branches {{tile|¼|2:0}}. The branches can extend further out, ending with twigs {{tile|;|2:0}}. A vertical trunk end, if not covered with a branch, is represented by a pointed cap {{tile|⌂|6:0}}.

Root tiles ({{tile|¼|6:0}}) overlap a number of underground tiles below each tree. They can be designated for digging, but because they usually use the same brown color as the mining designation rectangle, the designation is not evident (the only exceptions are trees with white roots). Some trees can have multiple tiles of roots, others just the one{{verify}}.

There are exceptions to the description above. [[Saguaro]]s don't have any leafy branches or twigs, just a trunk and thick branches. Mushroom cap trees that grow in the caverns underground don't have branches - instead they have a '''cap'''
consisting of ramps that can be walked up on.

Trees can be [[climb]]ed in both fortress and [[adventurer mode]]. In densely wooded areas, the overlapping tree crowns can form a continuous canopy that can be traversed by walking, climbing and/or jumping. Both thick and regular branches provide a floor-like support for walking. Twigs are too frail to support the weight of a dwarf, but they can be climbed through and jumped over. All kinds of trunk tiles are treated as solid barriers, except trunk tips - they can be climbed through and jumped over like twigs.

On ground level, tree trunks are obstacles that prevent [[channel]]ing or the creation of [[wall]]s and other [[construction]]s on their tiles. This is problematic for caravan [[wagon]]s, which require a path at least three tiles wide in order to access your fortress; on heavily forested maps it may be necessary to check [[trade depot|depot]] access ({{k|D}}) every once in a while as trees continue to grow to make sure wagons can get through, and chop down ({{k|d}}-{{k|t}}) the impeding forest if they can't. Later on this can actually become a blessing, as if there is only one or a few pathways to the fortress it makes it easier to route incoming caravans down certain well-defended pathways, instead of allowing them to choose their own way across the map, where they may fall foul of ambushers or worse. It also makes building above-ground constructions more challenging, as any trees in the way must be chopped down first.

=== Growths ===
Growths are the things that grow ''on'' a tree, i.e. they are not an essential part of the tree's structure and can be shed or picked without destroying the tree. This includes leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, seed pods, catkins, cones, etc. Each tree species has at least one type of growth, the most common one unsurprisingly being leaves.

The leaves of deciduous trees change color in the autumn, fall before the winter and grow back in the spring. Fallen leaves will color the tiles beneath their trees, turning the forest floor into colorful patchwork.

Trees of fruit-producing species usually grow flowers in spring and fruit later in the year. Flowers will fall in a cloud during the transition from flowers to fruit; the cloud is shown falling, and loo{{k|k}}ing at the ground after that will show "<tree> flowers" in addition to other tile contents. Both flowers and fruit appear and fall at set times through the year, so it's possible that a young tree that has never flowered will give fruit.

Fruit can be picked from trees in Adventure mode. Fortress mode harvesting is done with a [[stepladder]] (as long as the fruit-bearing tree is within a plant gathering zone) or by collecting fallen fruits. Fruit can be brewed at a [[still]]. Cutting a tree with fruit causes the fruits to vanish{{verify}}.

== Chopping down trees ==
{{main|Woodcutting}}

Trees can be cut down by dwarves to produce [[wood]]. It is enough to [[designations menu|designate]] only one trunk tile for cutting to chop down the whole tree it belongs to. Any trunk tile will do, even those that are above ground, or even a single tile of a multi-tile trunk. As a result, it's impossible to "prune" trees by chopping down only parts of them.

Once a woodcutter is done with the first tile, the tree instantly converts to a number of free-floating logs that fall to the ground in a direction away from the cutter. Cutting a tree from a trunk section above ground level may result in the woodcutter losing their footing and crashing to the ground (similar to having a tile deconstructed under their feet).

If you dug the tile below the trunk before cutting the tree, it will leave a hole to the surface, potentially allowing dangerous creatures to path into your underground fort. Avoid digging directly below one z-level in wooded areas before clearing out the trees, and make sure to check for open floor spaces {{Tile|·|0:1}} on the surface afterwards. If holes are present, construct [[floor]] tiles over the holes, which will prevent creatures from moving below. Constructing a wall below the open floor will work as well. Unexplained underground logs can alert you to the presence of these "guest entrances". Moving a building preview all around the surface (kennels are good for their size) and inspecting any non-ramp or tree invalid tiles can sweep large areas.

If you had [[smoothing|smoothed]] the wall below the trunk and then cut down the tree, it will leave an open floor above the smoothed wall, unlike constructed walls (see this [[tile#Walls|diagram]] for a visual illustration). If there is an open space adjacent to the smoothed wall, creatures can diagonally move below the adjacent space (by swimming, flying, or climbing) from the open floor above. Such occurrences should be uncommon, as it requires the tile below the tree to be made of stone (so it can be smoothed), and occur mainly in [[mountain]] biomes and areas affected by erosion.

== Products ==
=== Wood ===
{{main|Wood}}

One of the variation between the different tree species is in the weight and color of their wood. Weight is often a minor concern but when using wood to create objects that will be moved, such as bins or buckets, choosing lighter wood is an advantage as it will be hauled faster. Heavier wood will make wooden weapons and siege engine projectiles more effective, while lighter wooden shields reduce penalties to speed while blocking just as well as heavier shields.

Nonetheless, all types of wood have the same (low) value (beyond the [[preference]]s of individual dwarves), although the [[color]] of the wood may matter for aesthetic purposes.

=== Fruit ===
Various kinds of tree produce fruit. In [[dwarf fortress mode]], they can be gathered with a [[stepladder]] in a designated [[zone#Plant collection|plant gathering zone]]. [[Elf|Elves]] will also bring fruit to [[trading|trade]]. Fruit can be eaten, producing [[seed]]s.

== Growing trees ==
From the time a sapling appears, it takes about 3 years for a tree to grow. From that point on, trees grow only once every 10 years, as defined by the TRUNK_PERIOD tag. Currently all trees share the same 10 year value for trunk growth. Presumably this will be changed in the future to reflect accurate growth rates for different species. Given this disparity in grow times, it's far more efficient to cut down trees as they grow rather than attempting to let them grow to a larger/full size. Growing a full-sized tree will take around 80 years; well beyond the lifespan of most forts.

Trees grow from '''saplings''', which start growing randomly on non-occupied tiles of a suitable biome; thus chopping down a forest may create a clearing, but within a couple of years a new forest will have grown. Saplings can be killed by heavy [[traffic|foot traffic]], but not by flooding — they can survive submergence for extended periods of time and will still grow to maturity once the water level drops to 4/7{{verify}} or lower. Dead saplings will remain for some seasons, and then disappear, more quickly if heavy traffic tramples them away. Many underground trees are called "young <tree>" instead of sapling, but the concept is the same. Saplings will not grow to maturity if their tile contains an item or building (including stockpile designations), though removing the item may cause the tree to spontaneously grow up. Paved [[road]]s and [[farm plot]]s periodically purge all terrain features below them, preventing trees (or shrubs) from growing in unwanted areas. Trees cannot grow on stairs or ramps, making it possible to keep trees out of your plumbing by using {{K|u}}p stairs instead of {{K|d}}igging (this does not reveal the tile above). Above-ground trees will only grow in areas where there is sufficient soil 1 Z-level beneath them (currently observed to be at least one unmined tile within a two-tile radius); underground trees not only ignore this restriction for dry subterranean soil but will also grow on muddy subterranean stone. Additionally, saplings on soil cavern floors will block the construction of farm plots unless there is also a dusting or pile of mud beneath them.

Trees ''cannot'' be specifically "planted"([http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html as of yet]); even if a map is stripped of all trees, new saplings will regrow, randomly and in their own time. Sadly, the [[elf|elves]] do not seem to comprehend this. It is possible to [[tree farming|farm]] trees by walling off or engineering a patch of soil and locking it away so your dwarves don't trample all over it, but it will take a long time for the farm to yield results. After you expose the [[caverns]], subterranean flora (including trees) will begin to grow on any exposed and previously bare soil within your fortress; this can be annoying when a copse of blood thorns suddenly appears in your [[sand#Glass|sand collection]] area, but allows you to easily mine out large subterranean tree farms full of colorful subterranean trees.

If a sapling grows into a tree, it can block off narrow areas, such as one tile long hallways in a muddy cavern layer. This can cause dwarves to take longer alternate routes to perform their jobs, or entrap them entirely.

== Standard Trees ==

These are the trees defined in the file plant_standard.txt. Before v40.0.1, trees were a single-tile feature. Since then, they were heavily redesigned and became multi-tiled. They also now produce growths, some of which can be eaten or cooked.

==Bugs==
* Dwarves tend to get stuck in trees {{bug|9252}}. Constructing an access stairway or chopping down the tree can free stranded dwarves.
* Trees grow through bridges. {{bug|7872}}
* Cutting down trees will leave a hole in the floor if the layer below has been mined(which has the potential for lots of fun). {{bug|8469}}

'''Trees''' are a multi-[[tile]] feature that can be found aboveground on all but the most arid or mountainous of maps, and below ground in the [[caverns]]. The types of trees that grow in a given location depend on that location's [[biome]], as different species prefer different conditions. For example, tropical areas often have palm trees, while colder areas feature pines. Underground trees such as [[nether-cap]]s are an exception, as they will grow anywhere underground. The species of a tree in turn determines its properties, including its structure, the color and density of its wood and what kind of growths it produces. Note also that "trees" in ''Dwarf Fortress'' also covers things that are not actually trees, such as palms, cacti, large herbaceous plants (e.g. [[banana]]s), and large mushrooms (underground trees).

Trees are used as a source of [[wood]], an essential resource in the game, irreplaceable (or hard to replace) for some applications. Thus, the amount of local trees greatly affects fortress development, as without a ready source of wood, the player will be forced to rely on [[trade]] to get it. Tree growth density on the embark site is determined by its [[biome]], so it's displayed with the rest of the biome properties (temperature, etc.) on the "Choose Fortress Location" screen at [[embark]].

== Structure ==
[[File:Tree animated.gif|thumb|Animation of all z-levels of an [[Apricot]] tree]]
Trees consist of several types of tiles - '''roots''', '''trunk''' sections, '''thick branches''', '''branches''', and '''twigs''', that may be covered in a number of "growths" (leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, cones, etc.), depending on species and season. A single tree is a structure that can span multiple tiles of each type in both horizontal and vertical directions. For example, a typical deciduous tree will have a single tile-wide trunk at ground level supporting a multiple-level crown of intertwined trunk sections, branches and twigs covered with leaves. Not all species follow the same scheme, though - palms have a high, naked trunk that doesn't branch and just a tuft of leaves on top of it, and some species can have trunks that are thicker than a single tile at ground level. Trees also have an underground system of roots, but there is only one kind of root tile and the extent of the root system doesn't seem to vary with species.

Graphically, vertical 1x1 trunk sections resemble wooden columns {{tile|O|6:0}}. The thicker trunks (2x2 and 3x3) are represented by rounded double-line structures. Above the first ground level the trunk may branch out, producing horizontal trunk sections that resemble wooden [[wall]]s {{tile|║|6:0}}. These can peter out into thick branches {{tile|│|6:0}} or end directly with branches {{tile|¼|2:0}}. The branches can extend further out, ending with twigs {{tile|;|2:0}}. A vertical trunk end, if not covered with a branch, is represented by a pointed cap {{tile|⌂|6:0}}.

Root tiles ({{tile|¼|6:0}}) overlap a number of underground tiles below each tree. They can be designated for digging, but because they usually use the same brown color as the mining designation rectangle, the designation is not evident (the only exceptions are trees with white roots). Some trees can have multiple tiles of roots, others just the one{{verify}}.

There are exceptions to the description above. [[Saguaro]]s don't have any leafy branches or twigs, just a trunk and thick branches. Mushroom cap trees that grow in the caverns underground don't have branches - instead they have a '''cap'''
consisting of ramps that can be walked up on.

Trees can be [[climb]]ed in both fortress and [[adventurer mode]]. In densely wooded areas, the overlapping tree crowns can form a continuous canopy that can be traversed by walking, climbing and/or jumping. Both thick and regular branches provide a floor-like support for walking. Twigs are too frail to support the weight of a dwarf, but they can be climbed through and jumped over. All kinds of trunk tiles are treated as solid barriers, except trunk tips - they can be climbed through and jumped over like twigs.

On ground level, tree trunks are obstacles that prevent [[channel]]ing or the creation of [[wall]]s and other [[construction]]s on their tiles. This is problematic for caravan [[wagon]]s, which require a path at least three tiles wide in order to access your fortress; on heavily forested maps it may be necessary to check [[trade depot|depot]] access ({{k|D}}) every once in a while as trees continue to grow to make sure wagons can get through, and chop down ({{k|d}}-{{k|t}}) the impeding forest if they can't. Later on this can actually become a blessing, as if there is only one or a few pathways to the fortress it makes it easier to route incoming caravans down certain well-defended pathways, instead of allowing them to choose their own way across the map, where they may fall foul of ambushers or worse. It also makes building above-ground constructions more challenging, as any trees in the way must be chopped down first.

=== Growths ===
Growths are the things that grow ''on'' a tree, i.e. they are not an essential part of the tree's structure and can be shed or picked without destroying the tree. This includes leaves, needles, flowers, fruit, seed pods, catkins, cones, etc. Each tree species has at least one type of growth, the most common one unsurprisingly being leaves.

The leaves of deciduous trees change color in the autumn, fall before the winter and grow back in the spring. Fallen leaves will color the tiles beneath their trees, turning the forest floor into colorful patchwork.

Trees of fruit-producing species usually grow flowers in spring and fruit later in the year. Flowers will fall in a cloud during the transition from flowers to fruit; the cloud is shown falling, and loo{{k|k}}ing at the ground after that will show "<tree> flowers" in addition to other tile contents. Both flowers and fruit appear and fall at set times through the year, so it's possible that a young tree that has never flowered will give fruit.

Fruit can be picked from trees in Adventure mode. Fortress mode harvesting is done with a [[stepladder]] (as long as the fruit-bearing tree is within a plant gathering zone) or by collecting fallen fruits. Fruit can be brewed at a [[still]]. Cutting a tree with fruit causes the fruits to vanish{{verify}}.

== Chopping down trees ==
{{main|Woodcutting}}

Trees can be cut down by dwarves to produce [[wood]]. It is enough to [[designations menu|designate]] only one trunk tile for cutting to chop down the whole tree it belongs to. Any trunk tile will do, even those that are above ground, or even a single tile of a multi-tile trunk. As a result, it's impossible to "prune" trees by chopping down only parts of them.

Once a woodcutter is done with the first tile, the tree instantly converts to a number of free-floating logs that fall to the ground in a direction away from the cutter. Cutting a tree from a trunk section above ground level may result in the woodcutter losing their footing and crashing to the ground (similar to having a tile deconstructed under their feet).

If you dug the tile below the trunk before cutting the tree, it will leave a hole to the surface, potentially allowing dangerous creatures to path into your underground fort. Avoid digging directly below one z-level in wooded areas before clearing out the trees, and make sure to check for open floor spaces {{Tile|·|0:1}} on the surface afterwards. If holes are present, construct [[floor]] tiles over the holes, which will prevent creatures from moving below. Constructing a wall below the open floor will work as well. Unexplained underground logs can alert you to the presence of these "guest entrances". Moving a building preview all around the surface(kennels are good for their size) and inspecting any non-ramp or tree invalid tiles can sweep large areas.

If you had [[smoothing|smoothed]] the wall below the trunk and then cut down the tree, it will leave an open floor above the smoothed wall, unlike constructed walls (see this [[tile#Walls|diagram]] for a visual illustration). If there is an open space adjacent to the smoothed wall, creatures can diagonally move below the adjacent space (by swimming, flying, or climbing) from the open floor above. Such occurrences should be uncommon, as it requires the tile below the tree to be made of stone (so it can be smoothed), and occur mainly in [[mountain]] biomes and areas affected by erosion.

== Products ==
=== Wood ===
{{main|Wood}}

One of the variation between the different tree species is in the weight and color of their wood. Weight is often a minor concern but when using wood to create objects that will be moved, such as bins or buckets, choosing lighter wood is an advantage as it will be hauled faster. Heavier wood will make wooden weapons and siege engine projectiles more effective, while lighter wooden shields reduce penalties to speed while blocking just as well as heavier shields.

Nonetheless, all types of wood have the same (low) value (beyond the [[preference]]s of individual dwarves), although the [[color]] of the wood may matter for aesthetic purposes.

=== Fruit ===
Various kinds of tree produce fruit. In [[dwarf fortress mode]], they can be gathered with a [[stepladder]] in a designated [[zone#Plant collection|plant gathering zone]]. [[Elf|Elves]] will also bring fruit to [[trading|trade]]. Fruit can be eaten, producing [[seed]]s.

== Growing trees ==
From the time a sapling appears, it takes about 3 years for a tree to grow. From that point on, trees grow only once every 10 years, as defined by the TRUNK_PERIOD tag. Currently all trees share the same 10 year value for trunk growth. Presumably this will be changed in the future to reflect accurate growth rates for different species. Given this disparity in grow times, it's far more efficient to cut down trees as they grow rather than attempting to let them grow to a larger/full size. Growing a full-sized tree will take around 80 years; well beyond the lifespan of most forts.

Trees grow from '''saplings''', which start growing randomly on non-occupied tiles of a suitable biome; thus chopping down a forest may create a clearing, but within a couple of years a new forest will have grown. Saplings can be killed by heavy [[traffic|foot traffic]], but not by flooding — they can survive submergence for extended periods of time and will still grow to maturity once the water level drops to 4/7{{verify}} or lower. Dead saplings will remain for some seasons, and then disappear, more quickly if heavy traffic tramples them away. Many underground trees are called "young <tree>" instead of sapling, but the concept is the same. Saplings will not grow to maturity if their tile contains an item or building (including stockpile designations), though removing the item may cause the tree to spontaneously grow up. Paved [[road]]s and [[farm plot]]s periodically purge all terrain features below them, preventing trees (or shrubs) from growing in unwanted areas. Trees cannot grow on stairs or ramps, making it possible to keep trees out of your plumbing by using {{K|u}}p stairs instead of {{K|d}}igging (this does not reveal the tile above). Above-ground trees will only grow in areas where there is sufficient soil 1 Z-level beneath them (currently observed to be at least one unmined tile within a two-tile radius); underground trees not only ignore this restriction for dry subterranean soil but will also grow on muddy subterranean stone. Additionally, saplings on soil cavern floors will block the construction of farm plots unless there is also a dusting or pile of mud beneath them.

Trees ''cannot'' be specifically "planted"([http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html as of yet]); even if a map is stripped of all trees, new saplings will regrow, randomly and in their own time. Sadly, the [[elf|elves]] do not seem to comprehend this. It is possible to [[tree farming|farm]] trees by walling off or engineering a patch of soil and locking it away so your dwarves don't trample all over it, but it will take a long time for the farm to yield results. After you expose the [[caverns]], subterranean flora (including trees) will begin to grow on any exposed and previously bare soil within your fortress; this can be annoying when a copse of blood thorns suddenly appears in your [[sand#Glass|sand collection]] area, but allows you to easily mine out large subterranean tree farms full of colorful subterranean trees.

If a sapling grows into a tree, it can block off narrow areas, such as one tile long hallways in a muddy cavern layer. This can cause dwarves to take longer alternate routes to perform their jobs, or entrap them entirely.

== Standard Trees ==

These are the trees defined in the file plant_standard.txt. Before v40.0.1, trees were a single-tile feature. Since then, they were heavily redesigned and became multi-tiled. They also now produce growths, some of which can be eaten or cooked.

==Bugs==
* Dwarves tend to get stuck in trees {{bug|9252}}. Constructing an access stairway or chopping down the tree can free stranded dwarves.
* Trees grow through bridges. {{bug|7872}}
* Cutting down trees will leave a hole in the floor if the layer below has been mined(which has the potential for lots of fun). {{bug|8469}}

Consoler

2017-12-02T21:40:47Z

Russ3Z:

{{Quality|Superior|13:54, 2 October 2014 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

'''Consoler''' is a [[social skill]] used by dwarves while conversing. Dwarves that are particularly good at this tend to make friends easily and will often rise to [[mayor]]al positions.

To train this skill, let dwarves idle and chatter amongst themselves. [[personality trait|Guarded]] dwarves will never gain [[experience]] in this skill, and are the only ones to gain experience in the [[Liar]] skill.

Consoler skill may be important when unhappy dwarves meet with the [[mayor]].

Flask

{{Quality|Exceptional|14:39, 8 January 2014 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

'''Flasks''' are containers used by your Dwarves to carry alcohol or water while hunting or on military duty. There are actually three different items which fall under this definition:

{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="margin:1em 1em 1em 0; background:#F9F9F9; border:1px #AAA solid"
|- style="background: #F9F9F9"
! Item !! Material !! Worker !! Workshop
|- style="background: #F2F2F2"
| Flask || [[Metal]] || [[Metal crafter]] || [[Metalsmith's forge]] or [[Magma forge]]
|- style="background: #F2F2F2"
| Waterskin || [[Leather]] || [[Leatherworker]] || [[Leather works]]
|- style="background: #F2F2F2"
| Vial || [[Glass]] || [[Glassmaker]] || [[Glass furnace]] or [[Magma glass furnace]]
|}

A single job creates three flasks, waterskins or vials.

Flasks and waterskins are functionally equivalent. Vials can be used as flasks or waterskins, and are also used to make [[extracts]]; however, soldiers will sometimes choose to use filled vials to store drinks.{{bug|3116}}

Flasks can hold up to three units of alcohol or water. Alcohol is preferable to water, as it prevents unhappy thoughts and doesn't freeze in low temperatures. Soldiers can be told how to fill their flasks from the {{k|m}}ilitary interface - s{{k|u}}pplies.

When not in use flasks will be stored in finished goods stockpiles.

== Adventure mode ==
To drink from a waterskin/flask, hit {{k|e}} and choose "water" (or whatever you filled it with). To fill it, stand next to a water source, {{k|shift}}+{{k|i}}nteract with the flask and choose "fill".

When in adventurer mode, the water in the waterskin will freeze after some time in very cold weather. The resulting ice can be licked instead of drunk but doesn't quench thirst or melt from this action. The ice can, however, be melted using a campfire.

Giant leech

'''Giant leeches''' are super-sized versions of the common [[leech]] who inhabit [[savage]] [[pool]]s and [[lake]]s. While their original counterparts are just [[vermin]], these [[creature]]s are over 3 times larger than a [[dwarf]]. They spawn individually and are not particularly aggressive, but are not benign and will attack other creatures (including dwarves) who provoke them, potentially killing them. However, due to their lack of [[bone]]s, they are fairly vulnerable to damage and can be killed rather easily. Being bitten by a giant leech may cause it to suck some [[blood]] out of the victim.

Giant leeches can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into [[pet]]s, possessing the standard giant creature pet value. They are born adults and cannot be permanently tamed. Due to their lack of limbs, they produce very few products when [[butcher]]ed, making them a subpar choice for a [[meat industry]] despite being born instantly fully-sized. They are exotic [[mount]]s and may be witnessed being ridden by [[Elf|elves]] during [[siege]]s.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] giant leeches for their ''feeding habits''.

Health screen

Russ3Z: formatting

{{Quality|Superior|17:10, 3 May 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
In the status menu (accessed using the {{k|z}}-status key), one of the sub-menus is '''Health'''. This sub-menu becomes available when a dwarf is appointed to the [[Chief medical dwarf]] position.

The z-health menu is used to monitor the health (or lack thereof) of friendly dwarves and livestock. A subject's status effects and injuries are cataloged in the health menu by [[Healthcare|hospital staff]] upon diagnosis. Some basic needs are automatically shown in the menu whenever a patient becomes hungry, thirsty, or tired. Doctors will begin treating injured or otherwise unhealthy patients only after diagnosis and when proper equipment is available.

Note: The screen is entirely mouse enabled.

Listed below are all of the conditions displayed in the z-health screen. If you can't remember all the symbols, don't worry: The screen itself will list them again.

===First Key Column===
This is the column that lists requests and requirements of the subject.
{{HealthStatus table head}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=D|color=2:0:1|desc='''Diagnosis request''' - [[Diagnostician]] needed to diagnose the subject}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=≈|color=3:0:1|desc='''Cleaning request''' - [[Wound dresser]] needed to bathe off contaminants, preferably using [[soap]] and fresh, clean water }}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=S|color=4:0:1|desc='''Surgery required''' - [[Surgeon]] needed to excise necrotic tissue or repair organ damage}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=R|color=5:0:1|desc='''Inoperable Rot''' - [[Surgeon]] needed to amputate a necrotic limb}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Ø|color=7:0:1|desc='''Suture request''' - [[Suturer]] needed to repair cuts, wounds and nerve damage (!!) using thread}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=B|color=6:0:1|desc='''Setting request''' - [[Bone doctor]] needed to set the subject's fractured bones}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=<s>°</s>|color=7:0:1|desc='''Dressing request''' - [[Wound dresser]] needed to top off the medical procedure using cloth bandages}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=T|color=6:0:1|desc='''Traction request''' - [[Traction bench]] needed to immobilize subject with overlapping fractures}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=I|color=6:0:1|desc='''Immobilization request''' - [[Gypsum plaster|Cast]] (wound dresser) or [[splint]] (bone doctor) needed to stabilize a repaired fracture}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=C|color=6:0:1|desc='''Crutch required''' - [[Crutch]] needed for the subject to walk}}
|}

===Second Key Column===
This column shows different degrees of bleeding, blood loss, numbness, and paralysis.
{{HealthStatus table head}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=B!+|color=4:0:1|desc='''Heavy bleeding''' - Subject is quickly losing blood through many wounds or torn arteries. This is an emergency.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=B!~|color=4:0:0|desc='''Bleeding''' - Subject is losing blood through a wound. Typically harmless due to dwarves' fast natural healing rate.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Pal|color=5:0:1|desc='''Severe Blood Loss''' - Subject is Pale. Caused by massive blood loss, typically from a severed limb. This also occurs when the Dwarf survives a vampire feeding. This is an emergency.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Fnt|color=5:0:1|desc='''Faint''' - Subject is Faint. Caused by moderate blood loss from wounds or necrosis.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Pz+|color=3:0:1|desc='''Paralyzed''' - Subject is completely paralyzed. Common effect of upper spinal injury. Death by suffocation is imminent}}

{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Slg|color=3:0:1|desc='''Sluggish''' - Characteristic of weak or lessening paralysis}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Nm+|color=3:0:1|desc='''Completely numb''' - Symptom of syndromes or sensory nerve damage. Eliminates pain sensation in affected areas and severely hampers motor ability. Protracted syndrome effects may cause permanent damage.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Nm~|color=3:0:1|desc='''Partially numb''' - Symptom of syndromes or sensory nerve damage. Further reduces pain in affected areas and hampers fine motor ability.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=Nm-|color=3:0:1|desc='''Slightly numb''' - Symptom of syndromes or sensory nerve damage. Reduces pain in affected areas.}}
|}

===Third Key Column===
This column shows different degrees of pain, exhaustion and fever and also shows dizziness and whether the subject is stunned.
{{HealthStatus table head}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=F!|color=4:0:1|desc='''Serious fever''' - Reduces focus stat, may stun. Typical warning sign of more dangerous syndromes.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=F+|color=4:0:1|desc='''Moderate fever''' - Reduces focus stat. Typical warning sign of more dangerous syndromes.}}
{{HealthStatus table row|symbol=F~|color=4:0:1|desc='''Slight fever''' - Reduces focus stat. Relatively harmless.}}

Traffic

2017-12-02T18:55:51Z

Russ3Z:

{{Quality|Exceptional|20:58, 20 September 2016 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
'''Traffic designations''' determine preferred paths for dwarves going around in your fortress. Normally, dwarves use the shortest route possible; using these designations, you can force them to take a different route. This way you can set up main hallways or rarely used side corridors. Only your dwarves will obey your traffic designations, and then only when they can. If a [[job]] requires that they go into a restricted zone, they will. Other [[creature]]s will not recognize your traffic designations, and even [[domestic animal]]s or [[caravan]]s will follow their own pathing.

Traffic designations can't solve all traffic problems. However, some issues can be prevented by good [[Design strategies|fortress design]]. For example, you might make hallways that are likely to be busy two or more tiles wide, and place [[stockpile]]s close to relevant [[workshop]]s. Other difficulties may be reduced by designating traffic areas.

Vegetation (saplings) will tend to die if repeatedly trampled upon, leaving dead [[Tree|sapling]]s or [[shrub]]s and quickly exposing bare [[soil]]. This may be desirable as [[tree]]s block dwarves' and [[caravan]]s' paths, but unchecked traffic may trample entire areas of [[forest]] regrowth.

==Setting Traffic Areas==

The {{K|d}}{{K|o}} combination sets '''traffic areas''', which are zones used to manipulate the movements of dwarves. Traffic areas can be designated as high, normal, low, or restricted. When walking from one point to another, dwarves consider these designations in finding the shortest path. Costs per tile for the pathfinding AI set for traffic levels are: High costs 1 point, Normal (default, undesignated) costs 2, Low costs 5, and Restricted costs 25. You can change the default PATH_COST values in [[d_init.txt]], or per-fortress values with {{K|d}}{{K|o}}.

* It is often a good idea to set any [[water]] source in a [[biome]] with seasonal freezing to a Restricted area so your dwarves will be less likely to be caught on it when it melts.
* Some dwarves get [[thought|disturbed]] if they walk through a [[butcher's shop]] and see an animal being slaughtered, so you may wish to designate the shop or a band around it as Restricted.
* Setting restricted traffic areas over undisturbed [[cloth|webs]] or saplings is a good way to prevent dwarves from destroying them.
* If an area occasionally gets [[flood]]ed, or is dangerous for some reason, routing dwarves around it could be lifesaving.
* Setting High traffic areas along [[road]]s outdoors prevents vegetation from being needlessly trampled.
* An important use of traffic designations is to restrict movement in the tile where a [[ballista]]'s firing arrow originates. This will prevent tragic [[siege]] training accidents. Note that [[pet]]s can and will be killed by firing ballista even if movement is restricted.

Setting Restricted does not forbid a [[dwarf]] from traveling over those squares, but rather makes them willing to walk around them – for the normal cost table, 12.5 times further, or up to 25 times longer if there is an alternative high-traffic path. If you have an area that absolutely must not be stepped on by dwarves, consider [[wall]]s, or if you still need access now and then, a locked [[door]].

==Limitations==
Traffic designations only affect path preferences when pathfinding. Dwarves generally choose their jobs without weighing the pathfinding costs. For example, one cannot use traffic designations to direct a dwarf to confine his digging to a specific area. He will still take whatever path necessary to get to the job he has chosen to work. The best option to restrict a dwarf to a certain area is to make use of [[burrow]]s.

Additionally, traffic designations cannot be used to restrict where a dwarf will stand when building/digging. In other words, traffic designations will not prevent a dwarf from placing himself on the outside of the fort when the last tile of a moat or wall is completed. One workaround is to build a statue on a tile to prevent dwarves from standing there.

== Using Traffic Areas to Improve Framerate ==

In cavernous rooms that handle large amounts of through traffic but have a small number of exits (a large central dining room, for example) designating a few high-traffic paths ("freeways") between the doors can help reduce the pathfinding cost for dwarves who are just passing through. There may also be benefits to adding low-traffic edges to these freeways to keep the search algorithm from looking for shortcuts. Likewise, any large dead-end room that branches off a major hallway should have the area around its doorway marked low or restricted traffic to prevent dwarves from searching it for shortcuts. As noted above in '''Limitations''', this should not affect the dwarves who have a legitimate reason to hang out in the dining hall or visit the storage room - they will path to their destination regardless. Users may see up to a 10% increase in FPS by implementing these changes throughout their fortress.

Irrigation

{{Quality|Masterwork|23:39, 27 April 2013 (UTC)}}

[[Farming]] is only possible on [[mud]] and [[soil]]. Any terrain can be made muddy, and therefore suitable for farming, by dumping water on it. In Dwarf Fortress, 'Irrigation' is used as a fancy word for dumping water onto terrain that isn't useful for farming, in order to make it so. Once your floor is successfully muddied no further irrigation will be required, unless you somehow remove the mud (by building a [[construction|constructed]] floor or chopping down a [[tree]], for instance).

Any amount of water dropped, pumped, or otherwise transported onto a tile will leave behind at least 'a dusting of mud', and this is sufficient for farming. Farm plots cannot be built on terrain with [[water depth|a water level of more than 1/7]], and more mud has no apparent effect on farm output, so it's best to use a minimum of water to irrigate.

Irrigation is especially useful in [[biome]]s with little soil, and deep underground. However, no amount of irrigation will make it possible to grow surface plants in a hostile [[biome]], such as mountains. This is a matter of climate, not soil conditions.

Farm plots which overlap unsuitable ground will be irregularly-shaped, but still usable. (However, note that when placing an outdoor farm plot, the game will always erroneously report that there is no usable mud/soil. This is a bug - if the plot is green it will function correctly.)

Sadly, [[magma]] cannot be used to irrigate, as it does not leave behind mud. It's usually best <s>not</s> to confuse molten rock and liquid water, although the use of both in tandem may help with schemes to irrigate [[glacier]]s.

All types of [[soil]] can be farmed with no need for irrigation, even [[sand]]. Irrigation is '''''not''''' required for farming. Any soil underground can be used to farm; irrigation is only required on stone. Be careful however: if the stone beneath mud is designated for smoothing, the dwarves will not smooth it, but they will proceed to clean the mud, which will make the farm plot unusable.

[[Cavern|In certain conditions]], irrigation can convert rock floors into soil floors. This can be useful for transporting valuable soil like [[fire clay]] or [[sand]] closer to [[magma]].

== Easy Irrigation ==

At its simplest, all that's required for irrigation is a water source, a drop-off point, and a dwarf with a bucket.

Very little land is required to provide all the farm field resources a fortress needs to survive and prosper, so this method should suffice in most cases. Of course, we have many other methods documented here for more ambitious sorts.

=== via Buckets===

This method relies on [[activity zone]]s, as water for irrigation can't simply be dropped on the ground, but must fall from the level above.

Step one: Designate a water source activity zone over the edge of a body of water. In a saltwater biome, a [[well]] must be constructed, instead.

Step two: Dig out or construct a drop-off point just above where you want your farms to be. This most often takes the form of a balcony, catwalk, or scaffolding. Alternately, [[mining|channel]] out a shaft and/or staircase all the way up to the surface. Water can safely fall any distance.

Step three: Designate a [[activity zone#Pit/Pond|pit/pond zone]] at the drop-off point, or several if you'd prefer speed over conservation of buckets. By default, these zones are pits; make sure to switch them to ponds, and to remove them once you have all the mud you need.

That's it!

=== via Murky Pool===

Most areas contain [[murky pool]]s, full of stagnant water. Though unpleasant to drink, in DF terms it's as useful as any water for irrigation. Like any other body of water, it can be used as a source for buckets, but the limited quantity also helps a simple plan to dig into or around it, and drain it out to create farmland.

The final [[water depth|water level must be less than 2/7]] in order for the water to evaporate and provide access to the muddy tiles for farming. When using this method, it's easier to use smaller pools.

There are two approaches to reducing the final water level, without using pumps. One is to leave plenty of room. If the area to be irrigated is 5-6 times the size of the pool, the water inside will evaporate on its own, even in [[temperate]] climates. The other way is to leave a route for the water to flow out. If the pool and the dug out area are separate, [[mining|channeling]] can be used to connect them with no danger of drowning.

== Complex Irrigation ==
The following methods of irrigation take longer to build, but they can be more powerful, better-looking, and, of course, much more [[fun]].

=== via Screw Pump ===
A [[screw pump]] can be used to lift water and dump it into a chamber directly next to the water source. There are many ways to go about this, but one particularly simple, easy, and safe method requires a chamber dug out or constructed next to a body of water, with an outlet to allow it to drain back to its source. If the water the pump is free to collect water to spread inside, the water is contained by barriers, and water in the area is free to drain out, nearly any size area can be irrigated quickly and without danger.

This method is most useful around rivers that pass by or through hills, or through canyons, as irrigation isn't much use on most outdoor tiles. If terrain at a higher elevation than the river isn't available nearby, water can drain through a tunnel down to the caverns or toward the edge of the map, instead. Although the edge of the map cannot be dug out, it can be smoothed and carved into fortifications. Fortifications allow water to pass through, providing easy drainage at any depth.

Here's one example of this method:

=== via Reservoir ===
[[File:Irrigation1.png‎|thumb|right|A reservoir system which provides enough water for 8 fields. Upper level]]
[[File:Irrigation2.png‎|thumb|right|The irrigated bottom level.]]

Water reservoirs can be used as an intermediate step in any irrigation plan. This requires a large source of [[water]] to be of much use. Using reservoirs effectively involves some calculations, a worked example is shown below.

For this example, each 7x7 farm plot needs:
:* a [[floodgate]]
:* a [[hatch cover]]
:* 4 [[mechanism]]s (for linking)
:* a [[door]]

Also needed is:
:* 2 Mechanisms for the [[lever]]s
:* at least one additional door (if you have enough time to set up a wall or floodgate as well)

After the pattern has been dug out, the tiles for each hatch are channeled out. Then, the hatch covers are placed and linked to the first lever.

Floodgates are placed and linked to the second lever. To start the irrigation, channel out the last tile to the river / murky pool. Engage the floodgate-lever to fill the reservoirs and disengage it once they're full. Finally, pull the lever for the hatches to release the water to the lower level.

This reservoir contains 70 units of water (10x7). 9 units of water are lost to the ground of the reservoir (61 left). Roughly 10 units evaporate while spreading (~51). The water should be just enough to cover the whole farm plot and evaporate quickly.

An '''animal trap''' is a [[furniture]] used to catch live [[vermin]]. They are created at a [[carpenter's workshop]] or a [[metalsmith's forge]] (in the Furniture menu) by a dwarf with the [[trapping]] labor enabled. An animal trap can be made from [[wood]] or [[metal]]. Animal traps are unrelated to other [[trap]]s. To capture [[creature]]-sized animals, a [[cage]] is required.

Like cages, animal traps are stored in an animal [[stockpile]]. To set the pile to accept only empty traps, go to its settings and {{k|b}}lock all items, then {{k|j}} to enable empty animal traps.

==Use==
To catch vermin on land, order the task "Capture a Live Land Animal" from a [[kennel]] or [[butcher's shop]] ({{k|q}}-{{k|a}}). A trapper will grab an available animal trap and begin to pursue and capture wild vermin. To [[captured live fish|catch vermin in water]], order the task "Capture a Live Fish" from a [[fishery]] ({{k|q}}-{{k|f}}). A [[fisherdwarf]] will then take a trap and capture an aquatic vermin from a [[activity zone#Fishing zone|fishing zone]] (that has available fish to catch). You may want to put the task in high priority so that fisherdwarves will prioritize the task over regular fishing.

Animal traps can also be [[building|built]] on a tile by going to the {{k|b}}uild menu and pressing {{k|m}}. After the trap is placed, it must be baited with [[fish]], [[meat]], or a [[large gem]] (large gems are useless at the moment). Press {{k|q}} and hover over a placed trap to select its bait type. Press {{k|z}} to deselect the bait. When a bait is selected, trapper will automatically go and bait the trap (you cannot remove the bait afterwards). A baited animal trap flashes between the trap and bait symbols. When it successfully captures (or fails to capture) a vermin, the game will pause and make an [[announcement]]. A trap with caught vermin will automatically be slated for removal, and subsequently be hauled back to a stockpile.

Make sure to build the trap at an area with available vermin, otherwise the trap will be unable to capture anything. If the bait is left for too long, it will begin to [[rot]], and the building must be removed to prevent miasma.

The main advantage of building an animal trap over using a kennel or butcher's shop is the ability to specify the location or [[biome]]. It also allows trappers to perform other tasks while the trap is set up. The disadvantage is that built traps require bait to function, and you cannot set baited traps underwater to capture aquatic vermin.

When a vermin is caught, the trap containing the vermin will be brought to an animal stockpile which accepts vermin of that type by a dwarf with the animal [[hauling]] labor enabled. A caught vermin is treated as if it were an item. Marking it for dumping will send it to a nearby [[garbage dump]], and once dumped will disappear back to the wild. Caught vermin are viewable in the animal [[status]] screen. To tame one, go to a kennel and select {{k|t}}. A dwarf with [[animal training]] enabled will take a trap containing an untamed vermin to the kennel and train it with food. After taming it, a dwarf will haul the animal trap containing the now-tamed vermin back to an animal stockpile.

You can remove a vermin from the trap (thus freeing the trap for reuse) by assigning it to an installed [[cage]]. For [[hateable]] vermin, it is recommended to have an installed cage in a far away place to reduce the chance of passing dwarves getting unhappy [[thought]]s.

Vermin with {{token|GNAWER|c}} can break free from wooden animal traps. This does not destroy the trap. The game pauses and makes an announcement whenever this happens; if it occurs too often, it is better off getting rid of wooden traps and replacing them with metal ones.

==Success chance==
There is a chance that a baited animal trap may be robbed, and the trap will need to be rebaited by a trapper. The [[item quality]] affects the success chance of catching a vermin. To compare, a normal trap has a 50% of failing, while masterwork traps will never fail.

''You may be looking for size of [[clothing]], [[armor]], or the dimensions of a [[tile]].''

'''Size''' is a measure of how big a [[creature]] or [[item]] is, measured in cubic centimeters. It is essentially volume, but is called size in creature [[raw file]]s, and is so translated to item definitions as well.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163]

Size, along with the underlying [[material]]'s [[density]], is used to calculate an item's [[weight]]:
:Weight (in Γ) = Density (in kg/m3) * Size (in cm3) * 10 / 1,000,000 (cm3/m3)

Size has a large number of important ramifications on the game, many of them through its effect on overall weight, but as [[material science|material properties]] go, its implementation in the game is somewhat underwhelming - witness the incredible compression of matter, space, and time that is the [[garbage dump]]. This is mostly because when even [[dragon]]s occupy a single square, size becomes a little difficult to contextualize. It doesn't help that a thirty-five to forty foot [[bronze colossus]] fits in a basic [[wood]]en [[cage]] (although, a [[fire man]] fits in it too).

Size directly affects such things as [[Weapon#Size|which weapons]] your dwarves can equip, [[butcher]]ing returns, and [[combat]] effectiveness, both for creatures ([[elephant]]s are very hard to kill because there's so much tissue to them, but they have a surprisingly hard time landing a hit on, say, [[cavy]]s) and for weapons. Through weight, the size of an item has a large number of further ramifications in the game, such as [[hauling|carry time]], [[pressure plate]] activation, impact momentum, weight restrictions, and so forth. Changing this value too much can lead to [[fun]].

== Bodysize ==
Creature-specific size is known internally as '''bodysize''' (from the {{tt|[BODY_SIZE]}} [[creature token|token]]). When it comes to creatures, size is a rough stand-in for [[weight]]: standard flesh weighs one gram per cubic centimeter. However, in the infinite complexity of Dwarf Fortress there are a number of ''other'' [[material]]s animals internalize ([[ivory]], [[hair]], [[horn]], [[shell]], etc.) which have their own densities, shifting a creature's actual weight relative to its size, sometimes significantly (elephant tusks weigh a ''lot''). Bodysize also determines average [[butcher]]ing yields, (along with morphology) how much [[damage]] they can absorb, and (along with morphology and attack definition [[creature token|token]]s) how much damage they can inflict in melee. On {{tt|[HUMANOID]}} creatures, size also directly determines what kind of equipment a creature can wear: large, small, normal, or none at all.

The actual size of a creature is the result of three different effects, one basic and two that are highly variable. First and most basic is the average maintained across an individual species of creature. The second is the [[age]] of the creature: most creatures are not born anywhere near their maximum size, and instead must grow into it; some, like most species of snake, grow through their entire lifetime, and probably will not live long enough to reach it. The third is inheritance: version 0.31.1 introduced [[genetics]], allowing creatures to inherit part of their size from the appearance, specifically the height and girth, of their parents.

Actual creature sizes go from 1 (small insect [[vermin]]) to 200,000,000 ([[giant sperm whale]]s, the largest creature in the game). See [[List of creatures by adult size]] for details. The average size set for a dwarf is 3000, 15000, and 60000, the size of a baby, child and adult respectively.

== Mechanics ==
* '''Constructed items''': [[item definition token|Item definition files]] for [[industry|industry-crafted]] items are specific to various classes of items: for instance, [[ammo]] has its own [[ammo token|ammo definition tokens]], as does [[armor token|armor]], as do [[tool token|tool]]s, and so on. A {{tt|[SIZE]}} token is a field required in all of these definitions.

Bars lack a defined size token in the raws. They have a size of 600 cm3, which can be deduced from the equation listed above using their weight and the densities of their corresponding materials. This is consistent with 5 bars fitting inside a [[Container#Quick_Reference|3000-capacity bin]]. The dimensionless unit of '150' products per bar, primarily of use for soap, suggests that each use of soap should diminish the size of the item by 4cm3 (i.e. 600cm3/150). Whether this is true is currently untested.{{verify}}

* '''Inorganic items''': [[Stone]]s, [[gem]]s, and [[ore]]s appear to have a default, hard-coded size that is applied to all items of that class; thus there is no direct [[inorganic material definition token]] for it.
* '''Plants''': There is no size [[plant token]].
* '''Buildings''': The {{tt|[DIM:#:#]}} [[building token]] defines the by-[[tile]] size of a [[workshop]] or [[building]].
* '''Creatures''': The [[creature token]] version of {{tt|[SIZE]}} is the <tt>[BODY_SIZE:#:#:#]</tt> token, which accepts three variables. The first number is age in years; the second additional age is in days. The third number is its size in cm3. Multiple ages and multiple {{tt|[BODY_SIZE]}} tokens are used to constrain a creature's [[age]]-based growth pattern and final size. Genetics is accounted for by a {{tt|[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER]}} token tagged for {{tt|LENGTH}} and/or {{tt|HEIGHT}}. For instance, genetic variance in the [[anaconda]] is defined so: {{tt|[BODY_APPEARANCE_MODIFIER:LENGTH:90:95:98:100:102:105:110]}}. Each interval value is genetically inherited, and each interval value has an equal chance of occurring; the numbers are the percentage of the base size a creature in the interval will be.

{{D for Dwarf}}
It has been rumored that there is one more animal larger than even the giant sperm whale. That animal is reported to be your mom.

The '''Civilization/World Info menu''' can be accessed in [[Fortress mode]] with {{k|c}}, and displays information pertaining to civilizations and their sites. Additionally, when an [[Outpost liaison]] provides your fortress with news about the outside world, the 'News and rumors' sub-menu (seen by pressing {{k|n}}) is updated with the events that have occurred during the year.

From this menu, you're also able to send [[squad]]s out on [[mission]]s, and keep track of or modify missions that you've already created.

'''Pump operator''' is the skill related to the '''pump operating''' [[labor]]. Pump operators use [[screw pump]]s to pump liquids manually. In order to use the pump, simply {{k|q}}uery the pump, and hit {{k|Enter}} to "Start pump manually". When you want the pumping stopped, simply repeat the process.

This is useful for starting a [[Water wheel#Perpetual motion|perpetual motion]] power plant, or to move liquid on short notice and with little investment in machinery. However, it's not a good idea to put fortress critical pumps on manual labor, as pump operation requires continuous dwarven labor.
