Masterwork cloth used = miserable weaver
« on: November 20, 2006, 11:33:00 pm »

This is a bit of an irritating one. I have a legendary weaver and clothes maker who in the latest version quite often makes masterwork quality cloth. No problem with that specifically, but I just had another dwarf go into a fey mood and use a piece of masterwork cloth in the construction of his artifact, and my lovely little clothes maker is now miserable because her masterwork cloth was defaced in the process of making the artifact.   :roll:

I haven't noticed this problem in previous versions and I don't know yet if it only occurs with artifact creation or with creation of clothing from masterwork cloth (I don't think so), but I hate seeing my wonderful little clothier in a bad mood.

This game in question was started many versions ago, in case that matters.

it's just artifacts. I had a legendary weaver making piles of masterpiece cloth, but he didn't care at all when it got turned into clothes and bags.

Still, that does sound like a little illogical. Artifacts are cool. You'd think they'd be proud to have their cloth used in one.

Yeah, this is unintended.  Ideally, I'd have the artifacts only use thread, but it's hard for people to keep thread around, since it's auto-loomed.
