Many items are subject to '''wear/rotting/withering''' if left '''outside'''.

There are three levels of wear, which are signified by, in order of increasing wear, x, X and XX bracketing the item. Viewing will give an account of how badly worn(with some wear...mangled) the item is. Item [[value]] is significantly affected by the level of wear.

Most items are ''not'' subject to wear when stored in [[stockpile]]s, or inside, notably prepared meals, [[Alcohol|drinks]] and [[plant]]s. Some items, in particular plants, bags, and cooked meals, will still rot when lying around inside, outside of stockpiles, in [[workshop]]s, or, worse, in [[water]].

Certain types of [[vermin]], if left unchecked, can cause wear on food even when stored in stockpiles. Storing food in [[barrel]]s can reduce the amount of wear, and metal barrels are observed to provide better protection.

Plants will not '''wither''' on stockpiles, but will wither on fields if not harvested in time.

Plants will not '''wither''' on inside stockpiles, but will wither on fields if not harvested in time.
  
 
'''Mangled''' food can still be cooked, seemingly without quality loss, although the value of the prepared food will be calculated using the reduced value of the ingredients.

The remains of [[vermin]], as well as [[corpse]]s and [[chunk]]s, will rot both inside and outside, more importantly they will cause [[miasma]] inside. It is therefore necessary to keep an eye on tidying up and either have refuse stockpiles outside or separated by doors from the rest of your fortress if inside.

Clothing will show wear over a period of years when it is being worn by a creature. Currently, no unhappy thoughts result from this wear.

All improvable items made from cloth, silk, or leather will gradually wear out over a very long period of time, even if just sitting in stockpiles, gaining one level of wear every 20 years. Items made of wood wear out even more slowly - one level every 100 years.

All items made from cloth will gradually wear out over a very long period of time, often decades to degrade a single level, even if left unused and stored in bins.
