New question:
Will a Fey mooding dwarf refuse to move because they don't have their skill-specific workshop or will they just claim a different one?
If the answer is the latter I have a new subject for "What can you do to a dorf before it dies: Pincushion edition" very soon
Why has my Fey mooding dorf only taken three items?

If he's screaming about how he needs, say, leather, but he already has a piece of leather colleted, he may need more pieces or a specific type.

This is news to me.  I've never had a dwarf require a specific type of leather.  They always use whatever's available.

4. I really don't understand how the perpetual motion water pump/water wheel works. Help.

Nobody really understands how it works.

But how to build it is somewhat simple:

• make a V-shaped channel
• floor it to make sure tree growth won't interrupt your power
• build a pump that takes its input from the point of the V
• fill the channel with water via buckets (I had trouble at first with this part*)
• build waterwheels in the V branches
• attach some gears and axles to bring the power where you want
• start the pump manually
• profit!

* I had the dwarves taken water from the same spot they were trying to fill. Dumbasses. Make sure to make a drinking zone from your source of water and set the option to get water from drinking zones only.
