After having a dwarf die from infection I decided to make use of that immigrant soap maker. I got my wood burner to make some Ash which I made into Lye.
Then I noticed that there was no options in the Soap makers workshop, so I made a work order for it instead.
Now i get the problem "Needs lye-bearing barrel". Is there some code inconsistency there or am I just doing it wrong?

I think the problem is that the lye needs to be in a barrel. From what I've heard, the best you can do is make a stockpile that accepts lye and hope somebody puts it in a barrel there.

No options are showing up in the soap-maker's shop for me either.

That sounds like a problem, because the Lye is made with a bucket. The dwarves won't pour it into a barrel from a bucket, Won't they?

Me neither. Odd.

I've read in someone else's post that they will, eventually, if you leave a lye-only stockpile with some barrels in sitting around for a bit.  But they may not jump right on it.

Yep, getting the same problem here.

Don't bother making soap, it's broken right now.

You can make the soap, but it will just sit in the soap maker's workshop. Nobody will haul it to your hospitals or stockpiles.

Plaster seems to be broken as well.

Can you trade for soap?

[Psieye]

No task shows up in the Soap Maker's shop while you lack materials. It suddenly shows up once you have lye and tallow.

[Beeskee]

Someone mentioned in another thread the job manager would let you make soap. Just search for "soap" in it.

[InsanityPrelude]

You can trade for lye. I'd assume it comes in barrels when you do that, same with embarking with lye. So that's one way to get it in barrels.

I dont quite get it. When i trade lye or start with some i can make soap, but now, i got lye in barrel and in bucket, i also have lots of horse fat tallow, even potash. But i still cant make soap am i missing something?

[Nikov]

I have made quite a bit of soap. Ashery, soapmaker, kitchen. Make lye, make ash, make soap, render fat. Given time, they start having all the ingredients on hand when its time to make the soap.

Soap is supposed to come in bars, and the game expects it to for most of its uses. There's a typo in the raws however that makes soap come in globs instead. Find the reaction for soap in the raws and replace glob with bar, and that should solve some of the problems you guys have been having.
