Types of containers the game knows are chests, coffers, boxes, cabinets, bags, Template:Ls and Template:Ls. Only chests, coffers, bags and boxes are explicitly called "container" in game as they can be placed as Template:L by building. All containers are used to hold items, from personal possessions to Template:Ls, Template:L, Template:L leaves, and even living Template:Ls, but their use is context-sensitive, so you cannot use your barrels for storing Template:Ls, but you can build a bag as a dwarf's personal container, analogous to a chest.

Chests, coffers, boxes and bags are subsumed under boxes and bags in the Template:L stocks screen; the other containers have their own entry.

To examine a container's contents when the container is in a stockpile, select the object location with the k key. Then, use + and - until the container is highlighted, then press enter. Press enter again to select the contents, if any. The items command can be used to see items that are stored in a built container. See also, Template:L.

Barrels, bins, bags, pots

Template:Ls are Template:Len or Template:L containers that are useful for storing items in a Template:L and are used to store Template:L, Template:Ls, Template:L bags, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L leaf bags, Template:L bags and Template:L bags, cooked food in a stack of 10 or less, Template:L and Template:L, and all eatable innards. They are made at a Template:L with 1 log or at a Template:L with 3 bars of metal. Template:L, the stoneware equivalent of barrels, can also be used to store alcohol and other related liquids.

Template:Ls are containers, again made from wood or metal, used for for most non-food items. They are sent to all the other stockpiles (with the exclusion of the Template:L, Template:L and Template:L piles) and will hold much larger stacks of items, making organizing those endless piles of +giant cave spider silk socks+ much easier to manage. They are made at a Template:L with 1 log or at a Template:L with 3 bars of metal.

Bags are used to store Template:Ls, Template:L leaves, Template:L products (Template:L, Template:L, Template:L) and Template:L ("Template:Ls"). They are made from Template:L (or Template:L) Template:L, Template:L, or Template:L. Bags are used to gather and transport powders the same way Template:Ls are used to carry Template:L. Bags can be placed inside other containers, such as barrels. Bags can be placed as Template:L and then function as Template:Ls (see below). They are made at a Template:L with 1 cloth or at a Template:L with 1 leather.

Empty barrels, bins and bags can all be stored in a Template:L Template:L.

Cabinets and "chests"

These two containers are both furniture items only. They must be built in rooms assigned to dwarves in order to function properly. Cabinets are used to store clothing, and chests are used to store everything else.

Also, the Template:L needs containers for its supply-storage.

A Template:L chest is called a coffer, and a Template:L chest is called a box, but they are used for the same purpose. Bags can also be built as chests.

Their contents can be viewed with the t menu.

1Wooden Large Pots can be made, otherwise they would be called Barrels, Large Pots store a lot more than Barrels
2Used to carry water, can store Milk and Lye but will be emptied into Barrels
3Only Adamantine thread can be used to make bags, other metals can be made into Chests

  • Barrels are like Large Pots but with different capacities.
  • Bins are like Barrels but stores different stuff.
  • Buckets are like Barrels for Milk, Lye and Water.
  • Jugs are mini containers for jellies and can be stored inside Bins, in this sense they are like Bags.
  • Bags are mini containers for powders and can be stored inside Barrels/Large Pots if holding food items.
  • Bags are like Chests/Coffers/Boxes made of cloth or leather, can be placed as furniture in the same fashion.
  • Chests/Coffers/Boxes are different names for the same piece of furniture depending on the material it's made.
