Uh oh... we have a nudist in the fortress.
« on: December 19, 2010, 09:13:02 am »

I'm quite new to the game, I did about 7 forts to get the hang of the controls and the engine a while back but I kind of gave up on the game after I encountered a few bugs that somehow disabled designations for me. I got back into the game a week ago and I finally got a decent fort going. Now for my problem:

Litast Nourishrag is my designated doctor/miner, when the fortress started she and Dastot Rampartpunch (fisherdwarf/grower) became fond of eachother. They fell in love and in order to fulfill her love for the fisherdwarf she went into a strange mood and claimed on of the local Mason workshops. This was my first strange mood mind you and I had no clue how to handle the situation, she grabbed a bunch of Bitumnious Coals and I figured I should just let her do whatever the hell she wants to. This didn't work out however, as she is now running around butt naked through the entire fortress with all the gents looking at her and all the ladies turning away in shame.

The Fisherdwarf is rather popular in the fort as he has about 6 friends already, so I'm afraid if Listat dies now then he will become miserable and throw the entire fort in a tantrum spiral. I have never dealt with any of this before so this is why I turn to the community for help.

Is there anything I can do to help Listat get out of the mood? I already tried putting her lover in one bedroom with her so they can talk it out but she just ran away doing flip flops... Having the entire fortress undress and join the tantrum spiral does sound pretty fun but I've kind of grown attached to this fort so I don't think I'd like to go with that option.

Be sure to relocate your main dining room in hell as well, and make the obvious joke about it.
It's just immoral to let elves leave the map without being robbed at least a little.

There's nothing you can do to save her.  What you can do, however, is try to make your dining hall really nice- if it's legendary enough, it should counteract any negative thoughts death may cause.  Engrave the walls, build statues in it, etc.

This fortress is turning into some kind of supervillain lair or something.
You do remember that you've been farming gigantic wingless dragon-fish for profit and Fun, right?

Ouch, I guess I should have thought of that before I dug my dining hall in yellow sand... Though I think I have more then enough statues to plant everywhere. Thanks for the advice.

Got spare ore? Enable ore temporarily as a non-economic rock via the Stones menu and put it down as flooring. Blocks are worth more, but once rock has been turned into blocks its only use is as building material. Plain old rock can be pulled up and reused.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
