OK, this is more for the sake of my curiosity. I know theres loads of these, and I think I have a pretty good handle on moods but this one has me stumped.

Ive got an armoursmith in a workshop, according to DF Hack he wants metal bars first, wants 3 in total and has collected 0. He has a preference for tin. I have 13 tin bars and hes just sitting there.

Anyone got any suggestions ?

Im completely out of ideas. I made raw green glass and cut some too. I cut some prases and have more in stock. I have silk cloth and yarn cloth. Those are faar away but all my other mooded dwarves have not had a problem. Also he should be taking the metal first I think ? and having not taken any metal hes stuck on the metal ? So anything else should be irrelevant.

I did have all metal banned before he arrived at the workshop. I unbanned steel after he arrived (i had not not smelted any tin). He sat there. So i unforbid my 3 foreign bars of tin, still nothing. I smelted my own tin, followed by copper and bronze. Nothing happening still.

thanks for reading

Hmm, strange. Any burrow settings that might interfere? That's the only thing I can think of.

[sirdave79]

No burrows set. I dont use them despite the fact I probably should. Ive smelted more steel, more tin, made mroe glass and cut glass/gems. Cloth production continued throughout but I cant be certain that silk was made, definately wool and plant cloth.

I posted recently about my artifacts and moods in general but it seems that this one has defeated me. Ill keep a save of this in case anyone knows why its happened. (I like to solve a mystery like this rather than leaving it hanging).

[sirdave79]

Im an idiot.

I did have 1 burrow with 1 person assigned. It was part of my testing I did with burrows on this fort. Id forgotten about it.

I think we can all guess which was the 1 dwarf assigned to the burrow.

Hes just grabbed 3 steel bars after being removed from the burrow. Ill update with his artifact.

sorry for being a dick and thanks for reading.

LOL I was just going to post a generic "seems like the dorf can't path to the materials for whatever reason"

Glad you found out the issue, please update with the result

Steel helm. very happy.

On it there is an image of one of my dwarves crying because I accidentally melted some masterwork leggings! Never seen that before!

He had to melt his loved leggings in order to craft the helm, so he felt like properly memorialize those on the artifact itself.

Yeah, I know it's not how things went, but sounds like a nice story to tell.
