This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Stepladders are tools used to harvest fruit from trees. If a fruit-bearing tree is located in a plant gathering zone, a dwarf will automatically fetch and place a stepladder under it. Stepladders can be placed anywhere (they don't need to lean on a trunk) and allow a dwarf to grab fruit from up to two z-levels above ground. The dwarf doing the gathering will simply drop the fruit to the ground—he will not interrupt his work to haul it to a food stockpile. Any passing dwarf, meanwhile, can collect the fruit and haul it away.

Stepladders can be made from wood by a carpenter at a carpenter's workshop, or metal by a metalcrafter at a forge. Stepladders can be stored in stockpiles in the "Finished goods → Tools" section, and managed from the tools section of the stocks screen.


Forging and Melting

  • Metal stepladders cost two metal bars to forge, or six adamantine wafers.
  • When a non-adamantine metal stepladder is melted down, it will return 1.8 metal bars, for an efficiency of 90%.
  • When an adamantine stepladder is melted down, it will produce 1.8 wafers, for an efficiency of 30%.
