Only chests, coffers, bags, and boxes are explicitly called "container" in game as they can be placed as [[furniture]] by {{key|b}}uilding (any of these 4 container types can be used to satisfy the "Needs: X Chests" requirement for nobles). All containers are used to hold items, from personal possessions to [[gem]]s, [[alcohol]], [[quarry bush]] leaves, and even living [[creature]]s, but their use is context-sensitive, so you cannot use your barrels for storing [[coin]]s, but you ''can'' {{key|b}}uild a bag as a dwarf's personal container, analogous to a chest. |

To examine a container's contents when the container is in a stockpile, select the object location with the {{key|k}} key. Then, use {{key|+}} and {{key|-}} until the container is highlighted, then press {{key|enter}}. Press {{key|enter}} again to select the contents, if any. The i{{key|t}}ems command can be used to see items that are stored in a built container.

− | [[Barrel]]s are [[wood]]en or [[metal]] containers that are useful for storing items in a [[Stockpile#food|food stockpile]] and are used to store [[alcohol]], [[plant]]s, [[seed]] bags, [[meat]], [[fish]], [[dwarven syrup]], [[quarry bush]] leaf bags, [[flour]] bags and [[dye]] bags, cooked food, [[fat]] and [[tallow]], and all [[prepared organs]].

They are made at a [[Carpenter's workshop]] with 1 log or at a [[Forge]] with 3 bars of metal. [[pot|Pots]], the stoneware equivalent of barrels, can also be used to store alcohol and other related liquids. |
− | + | [[Bin]]s are containers, again made from wood or metal, used for most non-food items. They are sent to all the other stockpiles (with the exclusion of the [[refuse]], [[stone]] and [[graveyard]] 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 [[Carpenter's workshop]] with 1 log or at a [[Forge]] with 3 bars of metal. | |

Bags are used to store [[seed]]s, [[quarry bush]] leaves, [[mill]] products ([[flour]], [[sugar]], [[dye]]) and [[sand]] ("[[powder]]s"). They are made from [[plant fiber]] (or [[silk]]) [[cloth]], [[leather]], or [[adamantine]]. Bags are used to gather and transport powders the same way [[bucket]]s are used to carry [[water]].
