I need.. THINGS
« on: May 31, 2013, 10:12:21 am »
One of my dwarves just went in to a strange mood, I got an announcement stating "Urist McBob, Butcher begins to stalk and brood"
He then claimed a masons workshop and broods saying "Leave me. I need... things... certain things...".
He isn't stating the item that he wants but I read on the wiki that when they begin to stalk around they most likely will want bone, so I slaughtered some animals.
No reaction.
So then I looked at his preferences remembering that apparently their preference for the material for the item they want to make is what they will demand. In his thoughts and preferences he said that he likes native aluminum. Unfortunately I don't have any.
What should I do? I'd prefer not to have to kill him since hes my best butcher and I'll need him later.

While adding magma to anything will make it dwarfy, adding the word "magma" to your post does not necessarily make it funny.

I read that on the wiki and it didn't help, he has bone plenty of bone available to him but just isn't using it and hes in a Mason Workshop.

Bones behave oddly sometimes. Butcher some animals.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

"A macabre dwarf may require bones, skullsVerify, or vermin remains"

Kill more things, you may need a different dwarf to do the butchering.

One other detail I forgot to add, hes in a masons workshop, but he hasn't grabbed ANY materials at all, I know because I watched him closely, he just claimed the workshop and just sits there.

If he's in a Mason's workshop, the artifact he's going to create is going to have some kind of stone as its base (and thus, first) ingredient. If he hasn't gathered anything at all, he needs stone. Or maybe a rock block. I don't think a gem would count, they'd use a jeweler's shop for that... I think. So, make sure you have some rocks and rock blocks available.

Or maybe he will only treat Native Aluminum as an acceptable base ingredient, in which case you will either find him some or lose a good butcher to madness. I've never heard of a Dwarf refusing to pick up artifact ingredients based on material, but then again I'm not very familiar with macabre moods, I suppose it could happen.

as ORCAcommander suggested, you can use dfhack showmood, or just let him die

on a side note, shame on you that your dorfs are unhappy enough to get a macabre mood

Macrabe and fell grab any workshop they can reach.

You don't have to have the stuff he likes in order to get an artifact out of him. He'll settle for puddingstone, even if he loves native platinum. The only thing to really watch out for is when they ask for cloth, because THEY DON'T SPECIFY THE KIND OF CLOTH THEY NEED.
