This article is about an older version of DF.

Flour is an ingredient in Template:L, made by Template:L one of the three available Template:L (Template:L, Template:L and Template:L) at a Template:L or Template:L. Milling involves grinding the grains beneath the wheel, rendering it from an inedible plant to an edible Template:L suitable for cooking. Milling plants needs one Template:L for every job, and one plant will be processed to make one bag of flour. Flour in Template:Ls or Template:L do not Template:L like crops, and possess an indefinite shelf life if kept free of Template:L. It is also a very efficient use of space, since a single barrel can store up to ten bags of flour. Given these attributes, flour an excellent foodstuff. A relatively small Template:L can sustain a number of dwarves during a Template:L or the first few months of a new outpost.

Flour will be used in the Template:L when 'prepare meal' tasks are queued if it is enabled in the Template:L in the Status screen. Flour is more valuable than the raw Template:L, (20☼ per unit for cave wheat flour and longland flour, 25☼ per unit for whip vine flour), and prepared meals made with flour have a higher value. Bags and barrels of flour are often quite Template:L and suitable for export or import with Template:Ls; a single barrel of flour can easily be worth more than 200☼.

Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Dwarven science continues to research improvements in the milling process. Dwarven histories give many examples of new and innovative Template:L, few of which are reproducible on an industrial scale, as well as Template:L. Research dwarves continue to predict that the next major advance in flour technology will be a new, advanced foodstuff known as "bread" - some sort of solid beer - but they have been promising to produce this miracle substance for years and have not yet shown any progress.
