![]() Additionally, if a barrel is assigned for use in a stockpile, the number of the stockpile will be appended, e.g. ![]() "tower-cap barrel", otherwise a barrel will be named for what it contains with its material appended, e.g. The name of a barrel can vary by circumstance: the name of an empty barrel is the material it is made of, e.g. However, alcohol brought at embark will be in barrels that only contain up to 5 units each this due to alcohol barrels allowing only 1 stack and embark items coming in stacks of 5 units or less. Using a valuable masterwork or artifact barrel to build one of these buildings can significantly increase fortress wealth.īarrels can hold up to 60 prepared meals, plants, or cheeses, 30 pieces of meat or fish, any number of units of brewed alcohol (but only a single stack), 100 units of lye or milk, or 6000 eggs regardless of size. Fire clay "stoneware" pots weigh the same as a wooden barrel, while earthenware pots are lighter but must be glazed.īarrels are used in building dyer's shops and asheries. Typical stone pots will be 33% heavier than wooden barrels. When a barrel is emptied, it may be used again or stored in a furniture stockpile.įor most uses, barrels can be replaced by a large pot, which has the same storage capacity (and requires no wood or metal) and is only one quarter as heavy as a barrel made of the same material. 1×1 for long term storage with 1 barrel, 1×2 feeding stockpiles without barrel is one row of dedicated seed stockpiles per type. Non-magma forges also require one bar of fuel.įor information on managing barrels in stockpiles, see using bins and barrels. On an unrelated note, you may also want to disable prepared foods from your drink stockpile (press U ). Now, let's take those tools and create the Five Primary Piles, that are found in every Fortress, so we can generate a more efficient, and easy to understand, stockpiling system for our Fortresses. Q uery the stockpile and make sure that the max barrel parameter is not 0. In Part 1, I showed you how to easily setup, and use, Minecart Quantum Stockpiles. ![]() They can be made out of wood at a carpenter's workshop (requires one log for each barrel) or forged from metal at a forge (requires 3 metal bars). 9 Make sure that your drink stockpile is setup to accept barrels. Kinda frustrating having these taking up two spots for booze barrels.ģ:I have tons of empty bins sitting in my main miscellaneous stockpile while I would like them to be down in my metal stockpile to store all the ore that's sitting there waiting until i can find some coal to smelt with.Barrels are storage units that, like bins and bags, conserve stockpile space by containing several items of the same type. kind of figured that wood and stone didn't have a container.Ģ: The thing is these corpses have been there forever and a lot of my dwarves don't have anything to do. Sometimes it makes sense to lower it from 1 per square, for example when using quantum stockpiling: The max barrel/bin just says what the most that can be there will be. Dwarves won't ever put a storage bin/barrel someplace unless it has a reason to be there (to store something). ![]() The more jobs you give them, the slower they get to all jobs.ģ: No and No. Originally posted by Teemo:1: If a stockpile can use barrels or bins, it will default to having them available and selected when you make the stockpile.Ģ: You can't ever really force your dwarves to do anything, but they will eventually get to it. ![]()
