There are many different types of workshops, for different purposes and different finished products. Just as they have specific products associated with them, they have specific labors that are required by dwarves to build them or to work there, and dwarves with more of the appropriate skill tend to produce higher [[quality]] objects*, and/or produce them faster. | [[Image:DFflowchart.png|thumb|200px|'''Production flowchart for most workshops'''.<br /> Not all items are represented!<br />''(Click to enlarge)'']]Anything that is created, refined, cooked, altered, decorated, or generally "produced" is processed at a workshop.

You can use the workshop interface to restrict the use of individual workshops to specific dwarves, called workshop Masters, to create workshop-specific [[work orders]], and limit how individual workshops accept general work orders. | You can use the workshop interface to restrict the use of individual workshops to specific dwarves, called workshop Masters, to create workshop-specific [[work orders]], and limit how individual workshops accept general work orders. | ||

If you have no [[stockpile]]s to put finished objects in, workshops will become [[clutter]]ed. You can see the clutter by checking the contents of the workshop by clicking on it. The more items there are, the longer tasks will take. | If you have no [[stockpile]]s to put finished objects in, workshops will become [[clutter]]ed.

Therefore, in either situation, it's in your interest to put the stockpiles as close as possible to the workshop. |
