A '''soaper''' is a [[dwarf]] who creates [[soap]] from [[tallow]] and [[lye]] at the [[Alchemist's laboratory]]. This is one of the least useful roles in the [[fortress]] because any dwarf can be assigned the task and yield the same result since soap has no quality modifier; the only difference is faster production. Additionally, in fortresses without [[sand]] (which is required to produce the 3 clear glass vials needed for the laboratory), the soap making profession is entirely worthless. Thus, soapers are typically excellent candidates to be drafted into the [[military]] or full-time [[hauling]] duty, or otherwise re-trained in another [[profession]]. | A '''soaper''' is a [[dwarf]] who creates [[soap]] from [[tallow]] and [[lye]] at the [[Alchemist's laboratory]].

| − | At present, soap has no different effect than any other [[bar]], but given that the base value of soap is 25☼ multiplied by the [MODVALUE:] of the creature whose fat it is made from, soap can be very valuable to build with. It is also the best way to get [[value]] out of [[megabeast]] [[fat]] (plus, admit it, a bar of Hydra or Dragon soap is just cool - and ''very'' valuable). | + | At present, soap has no different effect than any other [[bar]], but given that the base value of soap is 25☼ multiplied by the [MODVALUE:] of the creature whose fat it is made from, soap can be very valuable to build with.
