This seems like a bug, but I wanted to run it past the forums and see what you all think before I submit it to the bug tracker. Short Version: A military dwarf, after successfully creating an artifact and being removed from service, refuses to do any work at all.

Long Version: A migrant, Rith, comes with some minor skills, including Novice Weaponsmith; I draft him since I already had a better weaponsmith. While in individual combat drill, a fey mood takes him; he claims a forge and churns out an aluminum war hammer, becoming a legendary weaponsmith in the process. I remove him from his squad and order some weapons made. Rith does nothing. All the appropriate skills are enabled, but he won't smith, nor will he haul stone; he just sits in the statue garden, venturing out only for food and drink. He continues training if I redraft him. Things I've tried:

• Saving and reloading.
• Destroying and rebuilding the forge.
• Redrafting Rith and sacking him again.
• Freeing the Barracks his squad is assigned to.

So. Any ideas? What very obvious thing am I missing here?

Try setting the squad he's in to inactive alert, as he might be stuck on the active alert even after removing him from a squad.

There are a lot of problems with dwarves not doing civilian work after being in the military.  My guess is that that is the case here.  The fact that moods are exempt from that bug is surprising, but I don't think the problem is the mood itself.

Try disabling all labors. Then enable a labor that's unique to him (have some make some potash or something). If he starts on that, then enable the weaponmaking labor.

If that doesn't work, try repeating the process, but saving/reloading after you disable the labors.

Also make sure you don't have a maximum skill level selected in your metal forge(s).

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone, but nothing has worked. Bah. Time to tunnel my way to HFSland.
