Strange mood strangeness
« on: August 16, 2010, 10:03:45 am »
i had a woodcrafter mood secretive... he claimed a craftdwarfs workshop and started working with some logs, about then i got invaded by rhesus maqaques and he either got scared and ran from the workshop or tried to attack the maqaques, anyway hes just standing there in the brook next to my wall and he wont do anything

is this a bug or is it solvable in any way?

Dwarf Fortress: You have a team of hundreds working for four years to make a game where you save the world again. We have one guy for four years make a near-infinite world generator, write the physics,generate histories,form detailed descriptions of every human, elf, dwarf, and goblin generated, caverns, and huge randomly generated monsters made out of who knows what. You. guys. suck.

If he was interrupted while making his Artifact, he's probably gone insane. Check his condition ( 'v' - 'w' ).

If you check his status, you'll probably see that he's miserable and insane.  If a dwarf is interrupted in the course of making an artifact, he goes permanently and irrecoverably insane.  Nothing you can do at this point.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
