This article is about an older version of DF.

The Craftsdwarf's workshop is used to make crafts of almost all kinds. It can be built from any construction material and must be built by a dwarf with the Bone Carving, Stonecrafting, or Woodcrafting labors enabled.

The craftdwarf's workshop is the cornerstone of trade in Dwarf Fortress. Most of the crafts made here have little purpose other than to be traded for food, alcohol, weapons, and other goods. Goods, furniture and bolts can also be decorated with bone, pearl, horn, ivory, or shells to increase their value.

As well, this workshop can be used to make armor from bone or shell, bolts from wood or bone, and to extract strands of adamantine for later use.

Ammo

Trees and the bones of butchered or slaughtered animals provide a plentiful and renewable source of material for ammunition. When making wood bolts, a single log produces a stack of 25 bolts. When making bone bolts, an entire stack of bones is brought to the workshop, and then one bone from that stack becomes a stack of 5 bolts.

Armor

Bone or shell armor, while vastly inferior to metal armor, is still better than nothing. Only 4 armor parts may be made from bone: leggings, greaves, gauntlets and helms. Only 3 parts may be made from shell: leggings, gauntlets and helms.

Making bone leggings or greaves requires 3 stack of bones, but it only consumes 1 bone from each stack. (You cannot use a stack of 3 bones instead. There must be 3 separate stacks.) Making bone gauntlets consumes 1 bone from 1 stack, and produces both a right and a left gauntlet. Making a bone helm consumes 1 bone from 1 stack.

Notes

  • For shell, ivory, tooth, horn, and pearl[Verify], the Bone Carving labor is required. Other materials require their respective labors.
  • Metal crafts are made at a Metalsmith's forge. You can, however, short circuit the process by making equal value crafts out of metal ore, by enabling the appropriate nugget use in the z Stone menu.
  • Other cloth and leather items are made at a Clothier's shop or Leather works, respectively.
