Rock Nuts
« on: March 30, 2012, 11:30:00 pm »
I'm a newbie and just recently got a tiny militia set up. But a recent encounter with a goblin thief cut open both of my swordsdwarf's hands, so I want to make a hospital. But I read in the wiki that you can use rock nut oil for soap, which needs rock nuts. But the wiki also says that one quarry bush gives one rocknut.

So my question is: If I have a quarry bush farm and am making rock nut oil, will I lose seeds overtime?

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Tell ya whacha do, is make it from tallow. Get yourself a kitchen, get a cook up in there, and every time something is slaughtered he will render up some fat into tallow. Then get yourself some ash via wood burning and a bucket. Make that into lye, make that into soap. pzpzpzpz.

Good growers will grow a stack of several plants from one seed, so some loss of seeds is alright.
A few bars of soap should last you a good long while.

you don't absolutely need soap, but it prevents infection better than regular water.

You don't absolutely need soap unless you absolutely don't need to have every other injury your soldiers sustain kill them a year later after it's healed.

This.  Yes, one quarry bush yields one rock nut, but one rock nut can yield up to 9 quarry bushes (legendary grower with fertilizer).

Plant rock nuts with fertilizer to grow your seed stockpile. You can max it out in about a year. I use the job manager to make soap.
Mill seed/nut to paste x30
Press oil from paste x30
make ash x30
make lye from ash x30
make soap from oil x30
