Container
Containers are used for storing various types of owned items. They are a common requirement for nobles and they are also good for increasing the value of a room. Each container holds a varying number of items. Dwarves may walk through tiles with containers.
Containers are also required in various places like hospitals, libraries, taverns to store corresponding items.
Containers are named differently depending on the material they are made of:
| Name | Material |
|---|---|
| Box | Glass |
| Coffer | Stone |
| Chest | Wood, Metal |
| Bag | Cloth, Leather |
Bags are a special type of container. While they can be built as furniture, they are more commonly used by dwarves to store seeds, mill plants at a millstone or quern, or collect sand. Dwarves have a habit of filling bags with seeds whenever possible, so typically many of them need to be made if they are going to be used for other purposes.
