Possessed Dwarf.....doing nothing
« on: May 04, 2009, 09:19:03 am »

Nothing at all. one of my metal crafters became possessed, and instead of claiming a workshop he went to my meeting area. There he stays. I only have 2 work shops, a mason and carpenters shop, but the lack of variety shouldn't be a problem. Help?

He wants a workshop you don't have.  Might be a glass furnace, might be a leatherworking shop, might be mechanic's shop, might be something else.  You'll have to build workshops until you hit the one he needs.

If he's a metal crafter he wants a forge. If you don't have an anvil the guy is screwed. Better recruit some tough dorfs and station them close to the possessed one.

I dont have what he wants...

How long until your next caravan that might have what he wants?  I've saved a few strange moods by getting lucky on the caravan delivery.

Exactly the same thing happened to my metal crafter today, i though it was a bug, but i didn't have a forge and wasn't smart enough to build one  :-[

To cut a long story short he went beserk in the meeting hall, mauled a cat to death and was ripped apart and spread throughout my meeting hall by two stray dogs.....the cat got a coffin in the pet cemetary and the dwarf was thrown into the Refuse.

Edit: I lied about the cat, I threw it into the Refuse too  ;)

Waste of good dwarf-power.  They should be breaking each others' spines in the training room.

Use war dogs, either assigned to the ticking dwarf, chained near him or locked in the same room.

Just wait until he goes to his room and close the door on him. I had to do that for my metal crafter, as I had no anvil. With no bauxite, it I have to think of a way to do a constant flow of magma for my magma powered crafts and obsession. Possibly a heated pool for the nobles.

Magma doesn't flow up a Z level, you you can make a channel on Z-1 and just build the workshops over it. The magma won't bubble up or anything.
