Dismantle a table to recover (some of) its wood

dwarf-fortress

I'm playing my first-ever game of Dwarf Fortress and chose to embark in a relatively calm area of the word, even though it's only sparsely forested.

Being a Minecraft player as well, I overestimated the reforestation rate and burned through a fair amount of my now-precious wood making tables for my dining hall before realizing I could make them out of stone instead. Now, I have no wood with which to make more beds, chairs, and so forth. (My first Fun!)

Is there any way to dismantle these tables so that I can make a few vital wooden supplies to tide me over until the saplings grow?

Best Answer

No, you can't get wood from your tables. A couple of other solutions:

  • You can dismantle your starting wagon for three wood.
  • You can buy wood from the elven and human caravans.
  • You can dig down until you hit a cave with underground trees.
