Talk:Soap

From DwarfFortressWiki

Can you actually build things out of soap? I'm going to have to give this a try, and make the cleanest fortress ever. Maybe build a swimming pool out of it and force my miners to have a bath. Dangerous Beans 22:07, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Bars is bars, I see no reason why not. I believe you can make things out of charcoal and ash and such, too. Bryan Derksen 22:48, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Better question- will water damage or wash away a soap wall, bridge, or other object? Hmm. --Eddie 03:24, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

Based on what I've seen so far (wooden walls being untouched by magma) I believe that water will not damage any structures made of soap, I could be terribly wrong though, just give it a try? --Eb 05:45, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

I started a game with the intention to make a giant soap-bubble for my dwarves to live in. From this experience, I found that it takes a LONG time to even get started building anything sizeable from soap. And, unless you trade for all your lye, you'll get through a LOT of wood, too! I got bored before too long. :( --Raumkraut 06:24, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

By any chance, does soap gain quality modifiers? If so, a fortress built from masterpiece soap would be quite valuable and clean indeed. I assume not, since soap is a bar type, but I figured I'd ask anyway. --Lightning4 12:47, 31 July 2008 (EDT)

I don't believe that soap would have quality modifiers, unless if it were made into soap crafts or something. If you smelt ore into bars it doesn't have any quality modifiers, so I presume that soap acts the same until it is processed into some other item. --Eb 10:44, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
