:'''''Standing orders''' are non-military orders that apply to the entire fortress, including civilians. If you were looking for information on how to get your military to patrol or defend areas without actively managing them, see '''[[Scheduling]]'''. If you were looking for information on how to order your squads to move around on command and attack designated creatures, see '''[[Squads]]'''.

===Refuse orders===
 
−
[[Image:Refuse orders menu v0.44.03.png|right]]
 
−
Dwarves can do different things with different types of [[refuse]].
 
−
 
 
−
You can tell them to ignore refuse altogether {{K|r}} for a smelly fort, or to gather refuse even from outside {{K|o}} which is mainly useful for collecting animals killed by military dwarves.
 
−
 
 
−
Each type of refuse can be toggled between "save" (bring to a stockpile) and "dump" (throw in a garbage dump [[activity zone]]). Setting a type of refuse as "dump" will make dwarves start automatically dumping refuse of that type, even ones pre-stored in a refuse stockpile.
 
−
 
 
−
NOTE: If you have outdoor refuse stockpiles set up with give and take chains (to shift garbage away from your fortress, for example,) you must turn on collecting outdoor refuse if you want your dwarves to move the piles.
 
−
 
 
−
*{{K|r}} toggles whether dwarves will ignore refuse completely
 
−

−
*{{K|b}} toggles whether [[bone]]s are stored or dumped
 
−
*{{K|s}} toggles whether [[shell]]s are stored or dumped
 
−
*{{K|i}} toggles whether [[skin]]s, [[chitin]] or [[scale]]s are stored or dumped
 
−
*{{K|h}} toggles whether [[hair]] or [[wool]] are stored or dumped
 
−
*{{K|k}} toggles other refuse not mentioned above, including vermin remains, rotten products, withered plants, damaged furniture, or [[Wear|tattered]] clothes ("Gather Vermin Remains" must be on for outdoor vermin remains to be collected)
 
−

The [[loom]] and [[clothier's shop]] can be further configured to use only dyed thread/cloth or any type. Since finished clothing cannot be dyed, this is one way to make sure the clothing is of the best quality possible.
 
−
 
 
−
*{{K|l}} toggles whether [[loom]]s will automatically weave available thread (or available dyed thread) into cloth
 
−
*{{K|d}} toggles whether [[clothier's shop]]s will use only dyed cloth or all cloth
