[Splendid Belt]

Okay, I've already lost two good dwarves to unfulfillable strange moods, I don't want to lose a third.  When a dwarf goes fey and takes over a workshop I know you can press 'q' to find out what he needs, but when he takes his strange mood to the main dining hall what then?  I can find no way of ascertaining what he needs, so invariably he just goes mad.  My best farmer has just done exactly that, and I'd like to save him if at all possible... (I'm using the version of the game one before the most recent).

I think this means that the workshop he wants to claim has not been built.  It seems in this version that if the workshop is not available when the mood hits he will never claim it, even if it is built later,unless you build the correct one right on top of him.  Try building every workshop you don't have yet right over him until he claims one, else assign a couple of war dogs to him.

Actually, it seems that building anything on top of the "stuck" dwarf will get him moving again.  I had a jeweler go fey with no jeweler's shop, and of course he wouldn't budge once the shop was finished.  So I tried building a bed on top of him and he immediately left and went to the shop.

I think you can find out what shop he needs by checking his skills.  Whatever his highest skill is should correspond with what shop he wants.

Nope. I've had a dwarf with only one skill, brewing or whatever it was, claim a Mason's workshop. Also at least twice dwarves went to workshops with jobs they were only dabbling in.

Meant to add not all skills can cause moods.  The food related ones, for example, can't.
