All objects with any value (including mined-out areas, {{L|bridge}}s, engravings and every kind of created good) will be included in the total. {{L|Artifact|Artifacts}} are usually one of the largest influences of fortress wealth. Artifacts made of precious resources and heavily {{L|decorate|decorated}} can easily be worth thrice the value of the rest of your fortress in the early years. |
Items made off-site are not counted in your total fortress wealth. Their value is listed under "imports." This only applies until you change the item in some way. For example decorating specifically ''imported'' objects and goblin loot; those will be substracted from the import figure and added to their respective division of your created wealth. | Items made off-site are not counted in your total fortress wealth.
