Fell Mood failed
« on: November 13, 2013, 02:41:48 pm »
Long story short, most of my fort of 165 died to thirst, the rest were taken by insanity, including a ton of Berserks.  so this guy gets a fell mood, claims a tannery...then does nothing.  I had about 25 dorfs left not including him, so he seriously couldn't find someone to use for his project?  Anyone else ever see a fell mood fail?

I had a previous one happen with no problem, resulting in a Dwarf Bone bin.  BTW, the fort is recovering now.  More Fun will ensue!

I had every variety of everything damn near, and since I had no indicator of whatever else he wanted, I didn't know what else it might be.  He just ran in circles like he was looking for a dwarf.

Are you sure it was a fell mood, and not a macabre mood? Those can require skulls, skeletons, or vermin remains.

I used to work on Modest Mod and Plant Fixes.

Always assume I'm not seriously back

Yup.  He did this:

looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible! which according to the wiki is a Fell Mood for sure

as opposed to this:

begins to stalk and brood... which is Macabre

so it's really weird!  He just ran around in circles through the area, didn't stand around flashing.  Probably just a momentary quirk.

Is the mooded dwarf in a burrow? Burrows can conflict with moods in that if there is something outside of the burrow that they need, they'll just sit in the workshop.

No burrow!  I forgot to mention that. everything was accessible, and no one and nothing was in a burrow.  Now, I did notice that one dwarf had fallen into the water in the cavern once I'd breached it... do they get a certain dwarf in mind when this happens? If so, that might have been it.  He waned Urist McDrowned and no one else would do.
