A '''building''' is a structure that can be placed from the {{k|b}}uild menu. Some buildings are made with furniture from a [[workshop]], which can then be made into [[room]]s. Building tasks and preferences are changed with the building tasks/prefs command {{k|q}}.

A '''building''' is a structure that can be placed from the {{k|b}}uild menu and then interacted with by the Set Building Tasks/Prefs command ( {{k|q}} ), and the View Items in Buildings command ( {{k|t}} ). Included in this are workshops, doors, trade depots, furniture, bridges, traps -- most of the interesting stuff your dwarves will build!

Most buildings are made from raw materials or blocks, although some [[workshop]]s require some additional finished items as well.

== List of buildings ==
  
−
Some buildings are placed [[furniture]]; a cage or throne sitting in a stockpile is just furniture and can be moved by haulers, washed away by [[flood]]ing, etc., but when {{k|b}}uilt they become a building that can be interacted with. (Or, what seems more accurate to say, a new building is created and the original furniture becomes part of that building's permanent inventory.)  Some buildings can be used to define [[room]]s.

Buildings should be considered distinct from [[construction]]s. While both are built via the {{k|b}} build menu, constructions are inert to {{k|q}} and {{k|t}}, are removed by [[designation]], and are generally more similar to terrain features. Furthermore, dwarves can place buildings on constructed floors, but buildings cannot overlap other buildings, nor constructions, other constructions, also, constructions provide support while buildings do not.

Most tiles have one of these simple states: wall, empty space, or floor.

−
Nothing can be built or constructed where a [[wall]] tile exists. Constructions and some furniture (wells, grates, bridges) can be built over empty space. Otherwise, almost all building occurs on floor tiles, whether pre-existing, dug out or constructed.  Note that a tile that would otherwise be empty space behaves as a floored space if one z-level above a constructed wall.

When it comes to stairs and ramps, the behavior is not very intuitive.  The table below details which building and constructions will prevent the construction of certain other buildings and constructions, since the system isn't always consistent. This table isn't necessarily complete, there's probably more buildings which are inconsistent.
