33a craftsdwarf strange mood doesnt want any workshops
« on: November 04, 2007, 02:39:00 pm »

I had a craftsdwarf go crazy due to lack of the right shop.  In my effort to satisfy him i completed one of every type of workshop and furnace and he still stood there.  The only ones i couldn't build were magma workshops (no magma on my map as far as i'm aware) and an alchemists workshop, but his only skill was in stonecrafting.

Someone else reported a similar issue, they got the dwarf to claim a shop by building it centered around the dwarf in question, but it definitely seems to be a bug.

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

I'd need a save with the unsatisfied dwarf sitting there to figure out what they are going for, unless I get lucky.

I think the bug is that if you build a workshop after he became moody, he won't recognize it. Happened to me too.

I've heard that from a few people, and I'm shocked and appalled to hear them say it simply because it wasn't in the January release, but I suppose it's possible.

Moods appear to have otherwise been tweaked for the better, after all.

Save with bugged Metalsmith, I just zipped up the region, is that all you need?

There is a forge but he wouldn't claim it. Grue might be right, I did build it after (because of) the mood.

if you know what kind of workshop he wants, you can build one centered on him and he'll recognize it and start working.

Thanks Griz, its too late for my possessed dwarf but good to know for the future.  I had the same problem, my dwarf probably wanted a glassmaking shop.  I've had two other dwarves successfully become legendary after taking crafting shops.

I had the same problem, I eventually just let the guy explode.

Okay, I'll take a look at the save when I get back to work.

There was an issue with moods that stopped them from starting occasionally, independent of anything else.  That's been fixed for the next version, and dwarves in affected saves should get to work immediately.
