Editing 40d:Furniture

There's a wide variety of '''furniture''' that can be created at a variety of [[workshop]]s. All furniture has a practical use in your fortress. Also, dwarves get good [[thoughts]] when admiring high [[quality]] furniture. 

When starting a fortress most furniture will usually be made in your [[Mason's workshop]] or [[Carpenter's workshop]], depending on the materials used.  You can also make furniture out of [[metal]] at a [[Metalsmith's Forge]], but this consumes expensive materials. Some furniture can only be made from certain materials. For example, [[bed]]s can only be made of wood. A few unusual types of furniture are made elsewhere, like [[mechanism]]s, [[siege engine]] parts and ammo, or [[glass]] furniture. 

Furniture is produced at a workshop through its {{key|q}} (view building) menu.

The function {{k|b}}uild is not only used for building workshops and the like, but also for ''placing'' items like beds, tables and chairs in your fortress. Most furniture must be placed before it can be used, but a few (like [[bin]]s and [[barrel]]s) are placed as needed by your dwarves. 

When you try to build a bed/door/chair and it says 'needs bed/door/chair', that means none is currently available, not that there has been a problem with producing one. Usually, brand new items are not immediately available because some dwarf has expressed the intent of carrying them to their corresponding [[stockpile]].

== Building a door from scratch ==
# Go to your [[Mason's workshop]] and select it in view room ({{key|q}}) mode and "{{k|a}}dd task".
# Select "{{k|d}} build rock door".
# Wait for a dwarf to fetch some [[stone]] and carve it into a door. You need at least one dwarf with the [[Masonry]] [[labor]] enabled. The higher the Dwarf's [[mason]] [[skill]], the faster the door will be built (it will also be of better [[quality]]). 
# Once the door is finished, then go to the space you want to build the door and press "{{key|b}}uild".
# Select "{{key|d}}oor". 
# Move the cursor to precisely where you want the door to be, and press {{k|Enter}}.
# If it says 'needs door', that means that the door you made is in the process of being stored in your furniture [[stockpile]] and that no other door is available: you have to wait a bit.
# Select which type of door to put there, and press {{k|Enter}}. The doors are listed in order of distance. 
# Wait for a dwarf (with the Furniture Hauling [[labor]] enabled) to come and put the door where you want it.

With the exception of [[mechanisms]], every other piece of stone furniture is built the same way: [[table]]s, [[chair]]s, [[cabinet]]s and so on. 

== Building a bed from scratch ==
# Go to your [[Carpenter's workshop]] and select it in view room ({{key|q}}) mode  then "{{k|a}}dd task".
# Select "{{k|b}} Construct wooden bed".
# Wait for a dwarf to get some wood and build the bed out of it. You need at least one dwarf with the [[Carpentry]] [[labor]] enabled. The higher the Dwarf's [[carpenter]] skill, the better. 
# Once the bed has been constructed, then go to the space you want to place the bed and press "{{key|b}}uild".
# Select "{{key|b}}ed". 
# Move the cursor to precisely where you want the bed to be, and press {{k|Enter}}.
# If it says 'needs bed', that means that the bed you made is in the process of being stored in your furniture [[stockpile]] and that no other bed is available: you have to wait a bit.
# Select which particular preconstructed bed to put there, and press {{k|Enter}}.
# Wait for a dwarf (with the Furniture Hauling [[labor]] enabled) to come and put the bed where you want it.

Every other piece of wooden furniture is built the same way. [[Barrel]]s and [[bin]]s, in particular are useful to a growing fortress. Keeping an extra [[bucket]] around is a good idea.

-For completeness, and to further complicate matters, there are also a few items that are made from the furniture submenu of the [[metalsmith's forge]], but don't go on a furniture stockpile:
-* [[chain]]s
-* [[cage]]s
-* [[pipe section]]s
-* [[animal trap]]s
-* [[block]]s
-Several furniture items have additional functions, like buckets (transporting water) and barrels (containing booze and food).
-An important exception from the above is [[bin]]s whose sole (but much needed) purpose is to increase the capacity of stockpiles, reducing clutter and hauling.
-== Creation ==
-Furniture  can be created at a variety of [[workshop]]s. All furniture has a practical use in your fortress, though it is sometimes limited to looking nice (statues), creating a [[room]] from it or fulfilling a [[noble]]'s [[demand]] (armor stand).

-When starting a fortress most furniture will usually be made in your [[Mason's workshop]] and [[Carpenter's workshop]], depending on the materials used.  You can also make furniture out of [[metal]] at a [[Metalsmith's forge]], but this consumes more valuable and potentially rare materials.

Most furniture must be placed before it can be used, but a few (like [[bin]]s and [[barrel]]s) are moved around as needed by your dwarves.  [[Bag]]s can serve either role: placing a bag turns it into a dwarf's personal storage, but bags for [[agriculture]], [[clothing industry]] and [[glassmaking]] will be taken from the pool of bags that haven't been placed by the player.
