Okay, so, long story short, I got a dwarf stuck in a mood at the clothier's shop. He wants bones...yes, stone...rock, and cloth...thread.

I got stone by the truck fulls; bones of many species:donkey, dog, lion tamarind marmoset, and goblin; and I have rope reed, pigtail, yarn, silk, and rare silk thread and cloth.

He will not stop muttering. I have NO IDEA what to do other than kill him.

-I slaughtered the donkey and dog in case the "bones" were something else like a skull.
-Made sure nothing is forbidden or "dumped".
-Had human traders around so I traded for more cloth and thread of all types. The lowest stockpile is 32 pig tail cloth
-Mined more rocks.
-I have no burrows set up yet.

I am at a loss. I have no adamantine yet but did try force an item change through dfhack. Didn't work, but it could be a bugged hack.
Through dfhack, I have killed the application many times in attempts to figure this out.

I'd appreciate any ideas or help.

What has he already collected for his task (use [t] to view the workshop he has claimed).  My guess, assuming he's already collected at least some of the materials, is that he wants more than one of something and you don't have enough.  What he wants shows up in the list for about two (2) seconds per "unit" he needs to make his artifact (with the possible exception of the first/primary item which may show for two seconds regardless).

Have you used the showmood function in dfhack? That can be pretty specific.
I've personally had problems with getting the right type of cloth, but thats because I only collect silk, no plant thread for me.

He probably needs Yarn then.

[Sutremaine]

OP mentioned yarn.

You say you traded for all three types of cloth (just cloth, moods don't use thread) recently? That would rule out the cloth existing on the map but being inaccessible.

Probably wants silk.

Rarely moody clothiers want adamantine cloth. An example, if you wish. If that's the case, I recommend you digging down in a hurry, this is a rare luck.

You people are awesome.

Followed every hint.

F'in hospital. It had taken all my wool. Tons and tons of plant cloth, and it takes my tiny wool pile.

I crushed there coffers and the mooded dwarf ran after it. Thank you all!
