− | Soap is | + | Soap is used by dwarves for both personal cleaning and health care. |
− | + | Soap is made by combining either {{L|lye}} and {{L|tallow}}, or lye and {{L|oil}}, in a {{L|Soap maker's workshop}}. One unit of tallow/oil plus one unit of lye creates a single bar of soap. | |
− | + | Lye in {{L|barrel|barrels}} can be used; lye in buckets that has not yet been transferred into a barrel may not be usable (see the Bugs section). | |
− | + | Dwarves do not require soap to clean contaminants such as mud and blood from themselves, and instead will use murky pools, artificial pools of water, brooks, or a {{L|well}}. It is possible to construct bath-houses (rooms containing pools of water, a soap stockpile, and perhaps a few nice statues) so dwarves living deep underground need not venture to dangerous cave pools or surface brooks to clean off a little mud or bloodstain. For cleaning wounds and preventing infection after {{L|surgery}}, however, {{L|hospital}}s should be kept stocked with a small amount of soap. | |
− | Soap | + | Soap can be stored in a bars/block stockpile. |

− | + | ** Wait for a trade caravan then mark the bucket to be brought to the depot and then cancel it as its being brought. {{Verify}} | |
− | + | ** Order an animal to be {{L|milk|milked}}. The bucket will be emptied before being used for milking. This does '''not''' work in 0.31.19? {{Verify}} | |
− | * | + | ** View the contents of the bucket, select the water, and forbid it, then order the bucket be brought for trading at the depot (any other means of forcing a dwarf to move the bucket should also work{{verify}}). |
− | + | * Lye barrels that are in a stockpile cannot be used in 0.31.19. {{Verify}} The barrels must be removed from the stockpile. Since lye is allowed by default in food stockpiles this requires stockpiles to be reset to avoid this. | |
