Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress can drink alcohol without mugs, but it’s not a good idea. Without mugs, they get unhappy, and that can lead to problems later. Luckily, making mugs in the game is easy, and this guide will show you how.
In Dwarf Fortress, cups, goblets, and mugs do the same thing. They use different materials and workshops to make them. You can learn more in the following details, but if you’re a fan of colony sim games, make the one you can.
How to Make Mugs in Dwarf Fortress?
Most of the time, it’s easiest to make drinking cups from rocks and wood, which are easy-to-find materials. To craft them in a Craftdwarf’s Workshop, click on the workshop, choose “add new task,” and then pick “rock” or “wood” from the menu where you’ll find the cups.
If you have a manager in Dwarf Fortress, you can also use the work order menu to create a new order and look for “rock mug” or “wooden cup.”
If Dwarf Fortress players want metal or glass goblets, it’s a bit more complicated. For metal goblets, you’ll need to make charcoal with a Furnace, smelt metal ores into bars at a Smelter using the charcoal, and then shape those bars into goblets at a Metalsmith’s Forge.
For glass goblets, you’ll use a Glass Furnace to gather sand and then use that furnace and some fuel to make the cups. No matter which drinking cups you make, don’t forget to put them in your Dwarf Fortress taverns once they’re ready.
Just place a chest inside the tavern, and your dwarves will automatically fill it with mugs. You can control how many goblets are stored by opening the zone menu, selecting the tavern, clicking on the magnifying glass icon below the tavern’s name, and then using “+” or “-” next to “Goblets (Desired).”
