[0.31.01]Possessed Dwarves do not gather materials
« on: April 03, 2010, 12:36:01 pm »

Have had 2 possessed dwarves fail their moods because they didn't gather any materials. First a Bowyer (wanted logs, metal, bones, gems, and shell, thought it failed because of lack of shell but there was just 2 logs in the Bowyer) and now Clothier (thread, metal, logs, and gem). All materials unforbidden and in the fortress (except maybe the first one with shells, couldn't find any in the stocks and embarked with cave lobsters and I never used). Had 2 successful moods before this (secretive I believe, made a blowgun and a battle axe).

Editted to make note about shells less confusing

Moody dwarves have a specific order they'll gather materials in; if they're stuck on shells, they'll ignore everything else until shells are available.

Toady, how much of DF is inspired by Labyrinth? Is Armok actually David Bowie? Because that would simultaneously be disturbing and awesome.

I guess, but doesn't explain the 2nd failure (which did have all the materials available)

Edit
Just checked, and I had embarked with turtles, so should have had shells

Lack of shells is part of a different bug; shells are generated at the raw fish preparation stage now, so turtles brought on embark/traded for will not give shells.
