This article is about an older version of DF.

Soap is manufactured at the Template:L from animal Template:L and Template:L. Soap is stored in bar/block Template:Ls and shows up in the z-stocks menu under Template:Ls. It has no use except as a Template:L item.

Usually soap tends to have a low value, also because it does not have Template:L levels. However it can become quite valuable if it is made from the "right" Template:L; its Template:L is 25 multiplied by the Template:L (aka [MODVALUE]) of the creature whose fat it is made from. This means that soaping is a good way to get Template:L out of Template:L fat. For example, a soap bar made from Template:L or Template:L tallow is worth 1250☼, summing up to 12,500☼ for one such creature (since one yields 10 fat). The lengthy production chain, high labor demand, consumption of wood (for the Template:L for the lye) and potential scarcity of tallow however makes most players largely ignore soap and go for easier trade goods like stone Template:Ls.
