A cage is a holding device. Cages cannot be made of stone, but can be made of wood and metal. A cage made of glass is called a terrarium. Cages can hold an unlimited number of animals at once. Placing animals in a cage can reduce lag and reduce traffic in your hallways.
The cage can be used in a few ways:
- A jail, where you designate its location to be used for justice, and a sheriff will detain any unruly dwarves.
- Animal restraining device, where you simply plant it and allocate any animals you want in it. Particularly handy for keeping track of mating animals. Just assign (q on a cage that has been built in a room) all the animals of one type in a cage and let them sit. Soon stray deer fawns will be all over your fortress
- A cage trap needs a cage as one of its components.
