Hey sorry to ask this question but i got a dorf with a strange mood when i look in Dwarf Therapist its written plant mood. Any idea of what he want cant find the answer anywhere ( im using Masterwork)

[vanatteveldt]

Did the dwarf claim a workshop already? What are his/her exact words?

You can use dfhack showmood to get an accurate list of what she needs.

(and if you're not willing to "cheat" it might be most fun to try to figure it out within the game, i.e. produce one each of everything you think she might be asking, and bear the in-game consequences if she is unable to articulate herself well enough..)

What is the EXACT message that Therapist is displaying? I ask because the only Strange Mood job names it should display are Crafter, Jeweler, Smith, Magma Smith, Carpenter, Mason, Bowyer, Tanner, Clothier, Glassmaker, or Mechanics (or just plain "[Strange] Mood", which means either Fell or Macabre).

Does the masterwork mod change any of the workshop displays? If it doesn't, just pressing q over the workshop your moody dwarf is in will cycle a description of what he wants where the workshop name would normally be. How specific that description is depends on the mood. In the most forgiving moods your dwarf will outright say "I must have green glass", in the middling tier he'll say "I must have glass", and in the worst tiers he'll sketch a very vague picture of what he wants "UristMcMoody feverishly sketches a picture of gems" and you're somehow suppose to look at your stocks and figure out he means green glass.

If your dwarf hasn't claimed a workshop it means you haven't built the workshop he needs yet.

I saw "Plant Mood" in DT a week ago as well as the dwarf's job type when he mooded. My setup is DF 43.05 x64 on Linux and my DT is about a month old. The word "Plant" may be bad lookup related to x32 and x64 differences. EDIT: Happened again. A dwarf with no moodable skill showed Plant Mood in DT when he mooded.

anewaname: Do you remember which workshop the dorf claimed in your mood instances (no skills points towards the craftdwarf workshop, though), as well as what the mood ought to be based on the shouting/muttering/sketching when compared to the wiki page on moods? Also, have you tried loading the save in a different version (or do you have the save available for others to try to do so)?

The dwarf is Possessed, he claimed a craftshop, and his skills are in the image. I used a fresh download of DT (5 minutes ago), modified line 70 in currentjobcolumn.cpp to send info to LOGD instead of TRACE, and it returned "Unit: "Mosus Mengdod?k"  jobID: 55 ( "[Strange] Mood (Crafter)" )". I gave up messing with the code at that point as I don't know C++ enough to determine where it resolves the look-up of the "[Strange]" string.


EDIT: A dwarf with Carpenter as his highest moodable skill just entered a Fey mood and received the "Plant Mood (Carpenter) (61)".

[Quietust]

The simple answer is that there is a bug in Therapist which is causing it to display mood names incorrectly. Specifically, whenever it sees a word in square brackets, it tries to substitute a more meaningful string in its place (dwarfjob.h, line 123), but while it's supposed to insert the Mood Type (e.g. Fey, Secretive, Possessed, Fell, or Macabre), it is instead substituting a Material Category, and since Strange Moods don't have a Material Category, it's using the default value of 0, which is "Plant".

over at the masterwork forums we have received other strange DT behavior in a similar category, basically some things seem linked to the wrong list, we have a miner caste that has certain skills that are faster learned... well DT was giving the wrong skill names where it tells what the caste learns faster.... not sure whats going on.
