I haven't had a fey mood in my fort for many years now (at least five), which is unfortunate since I've long passed the stage where fey moods are a problem--now I just wish I could get the easy exp and kickass artifacts they result in.  Is this a bug or have I just 'maxed out' on fey moods somehow?

[Veroule]

It seems there is a max.  As far as I have gathered from old discussions and personal experience, the factors are depth dug (bridging of each feature seems the guage), population total, and artifact total.

So possibly locating and trading artifacts from deceased dwarves will allow others to get all moody.  It sounds like you have basically dug everywhere, so that just leaves population as your other factor.

Strangely, I just got a fey mood (in fact, he's working furiously in my magma forge right now--jackpot).  I recently dug a little further in the mountain (no deeper horizontally, but further down vertically; I'm pretty sure the pathfinding from the gath would register it as farther), so that could be it.  In addition, my jewelers had gotten ahead of my glassmakers, causing my fort to be temporarily empty of cut clear glass (which was not used in the artifact).

I'm pretty sure I've read Toady state that the max number of artifacts was partially linked to the floorspace of the fort as it would look odd for a tiny outpost to have huge numbers of artifacts.
