A stack is considered a single object for purposes of {{L|hauling}} and {{L|job}}s, but single, individual objects can be used from it, one at a time, such as one bolt shot from a crossbow, or one food item taken for eating. If the item survives that use (the bolt doesn't break, or the food item is dropped for some reason), it then becomes an individual item, unconnected to any stack. Individual items cannot be stacked or re-stacked. |

Butchering an animal produces stacks of meat, chunks, and bones equal to that creature's size (as does {{L|rotting}} for bones). Prepared meals come in stacks of size equal to the total number of items used - since up to 4 ingredients can be used to {{L|cook}} a lavish meal, and each ingredient itself can be a stack, this can be quite large. Bolts come in stacks of 25 for wood or metal bolts, and creating bone bolts from a stack of bones gives a stack of bolts equal to the input bone stack size multiplied by 5. ({{L|Immigrant}}s can bring bigger stacks.) |

When making bone {{L|crafts}} or {{L|crossbow}}s, a stack of bones will produce the same number of crafts as a single bone, making stacks of bones highly uneconomical for making anything other than bolts. Additionally, {{L|lye}} comes in stacks of 10 when purchased from caravans, but attempting to make it into {{L|potash}} will produce only one {{L|bar}} from the entire stack, making stacks of lye useful only for making {{L|soap}}. |
