The production of gypsum plaster powder requires the [[furnace operating]] skill. It is used in the production of [[plaster cast]]s, an item used by [[bone doctor]]s to immobilize the broken bones of injured [[dwarves]], serving the same role as [[splint]]s. |

If you have a larger amount of gypsum plaster (15+ bags), you may make a dedicated stockpile containing '''only''' Gypsum plaster, by exploiting the hospital storage to force dwarves to move gypsum plaster to a particular location. | If you have a larger amount of gypsum plaster (15+ bags), you may make a dedicated stockpile containing '''only''' Gypsum plaster, by exploiting the hospital storage to force dwarves to move gypsum plaster to a particular location. |
