A '''bar''' is a sub-type of building material (interchangeable with a [[block]] for that purpose), and is the base individual unit of [[metal]], [[charcoal]], [[coke]], [[potash]], [[ash]], [[pearlash]], and [[soap]]. All [[metal]]s are created as bars at a [[smelter]], whether processed from [[ore]]s, [[alloy]]ed with other metals, or [[melt]]ed down from existing metal items. | A '''bar''' is a sub-type of building material (interchangeable with a [[block]] for that purpose), and is the base individual unit of [[metal]], [[charcoal]], [[coke]], [[potash]], [[ash]], [[pearlash]], and [[soap]].

| − | + | All types of bars can also be used to build [[workshop]]s, [[road]]s, [[bridge]]s, and other [[construction]]s, as well as built as [[bars|horizontal or vertical bars]]. (Be aware that some purposes suggest the use of [[fire-safe]] materials.) However, different bars require different [[labor]]s to use in such construction projects - [[smith]]ing for metal bars and [[mason]]ry for all others (including bars of soap). | |

"Bars" of [[adamantine]] metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars. | "Bars" of [[adamantine]] metal are referred to as "wafers", but when used as building material they function the same as any other bars. | ||
