Wait, are you telling me this legendary feat of dwarven cooking is a lie?

That's deliberate though. Don't most undead stuff spawn rotting?

[Kametec_Housen]

Either way, baconized fish generally don't have the decency to stay in the water and I am not sure whether we're equipped enough to debaconize it.

Just make sure you have some tenderizers

Lots of tenderizers.

[Sanctume]

Do we have stones or metals to make mechanisms?

[Kametec_Housen]

Human caravan has come. As per rules I want to trade them cooked meal and brewed drink (Faker Fangirl's legacy). Is there a way to separate value of a foodstuff from value of barrel it is in?

edit:

Do we have stones or metals to make mechanisms?

Not yet. So far it is only embark metals, aquifers are not yet breached.

[Bearskie]

The barrel values are insignificant compared to the actual trade, so I'd say don't worry about it.

[VoiceBook]

Dorf me in please! any male is fine.

[Carch]

couldn't you check the z status screen for 'food:other' and 'drinks' before trading it all? or check before and after in case you missed one or two barrels being used/hauled?

[GPeter]

I need a turn on this, seriously, I NEED!

That shows how many foods and drinks I'm trading, not their value. And the value I'm seeing in trade screen is combined value of food and barrel it is in. But the consensus is that we consider barrel value negligible. I'll see if I can get some estimates from empty barrels though.

[Kametec_Housen]

Okay, human caravan has arrived. As per agreement I'll stock them with food. But we're quite short handed at the moment, so hopefully they'll pass the message and we get some spare dwarfpower soon.

Let's get this paperwork done. According to our storage records, we have 383 rations of food and 72 rations of drink. We have it barreled in 15 barrels. I also found barrels of various quality levels and had them moved to the depot for appraisal.

That is total value of 31 810☼ (Food: 31 206☼; Drink: 604☼). But 800☼ (Food: 340☼; Drink: 460☼) is in barrels. So total value of 383 portions of food is 30 866☼ and total value of 72 rations of drink is 144☼.

In unrelated news, it is almost full moon. Hey Moony, we need you to build a new carpenter's workshop down in the cellar. Yeah, seeing how you're the only carpenter and all, you should totally go build it down there. Please be careful when passing through the construction area on the way there, the door just need a little polishing, hehe. Don't worry, we're not going to wall you in or anything, don't look at me like that. Now off you go, that workshop is not going to build itself, is it?

Wooden barrel price chart

☼Masterful barrel☼	120☼
≡Exceptional barrel≡	50☼
*Superior quality barrel*	40☼
+Finely-crafted barrel+	30☼
-Well-crafted barrel-	20☼
Normal barrel	10☼

I've checked the wiki and those values correspond to quality modifiers as listed there. Maybe it will allow me to figure out a price chart for various kinds of pots as well. Did I mention I like pots and I'm going to keep things simple by adding them to the mix?
Edit: Why are some barrels white in the trade screen?

[Sanctume]

Containers will be too much micro since we will eventually use wood barrels, large stone pots, glass containers, maybe even clay or metal food containers.   

If you can secure a handful of stones or ores to make mechanisms, I can work on  breaching the aquifer. 

[FakerFangirl]

I pray that it's a one-layer aquifer.

You might wish to do some probing first. All 3 of our biomes have aquifers, but they're not all on the same z-levels. It may be possible to go around.
