v0.34:Lye
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Lye is made by a dwarf with the lye making labor enabled at an ashery, and requires 1 bar of ash and 1 bucket. Ash is made from wood by a wood burner at a wood furnace.
Lye is used to make soap and potash, though potash can also be made directly from ash. Lye is moved from buckets into a barrel if you have a food stockpile with "misc. liquid" enabled, and a spare barrel. A barrel can hold 100 units of lye. However, a bucket of lye can also be used directly to make soap. Lye freezes in cold weather. You'll have to wait until it thaws in order to make soap. Magma helps unfreeze lye.
Currently, when lye is stored in a barrel, the lye will not be poured from the bucket. Rather the bucket will be stored within the barrel, and the lye will no longer be visible to the game. While visible in the stocks list, dwarves will not be able to access it for soap making.[1] Dissallow barrels in a lye stockpile to avoid this.
Lye is located under Food -> Misc. Liquids in the Stocks screen.
