You may be thinking of an x-leather book. I'm not sure if they were called "bound", as that was not a thing until DF2015. The parchment? Sure, can be leather. But not the binding.

My Clothesmaker has a mood, the secretive kind. Takes over a Clothier's.

Requests are: Stacked Cloth (2s), Square Blocks (2s), Rough Gems (6s), Forest (2s), Skeletons (2s), in that order.

He picks up two pieces of cloth and I have all kinds, silk, yarn 'n fiber. Then stops. So I assume he's stuck on the blocks part. I had a ton of rock blocks and some wood ones, but apparently those were NG. He likes Marble, but got none of that in the map. He also likes Electrum so I made some electrum blocks and when that doesn't work a few from other metals just to feel good. Nada.

I move to clay, make some earthenware bricks, then in desperation I make some glass blocks. That's all the block types yet he doesn't budge. I got a big pile of raw gems and wood 'n just butchered a yak and a lama so ought not be due to lack of bones either. Am I missing something absolutely obvious?

I think this is the second time in a row with this happening due to blocks. I think the last guy who wanted them eventually went berserk because I didn't baby him. This time it's a legendary crafter so I'm a bit more protective.

Oh and since I'm asking, is there something up with hauling corpses of non citizens? A couple of adventurers started a ruckus as the inn and the dwarves absolutely refused to haul the bodies anywhere even after I waited forever and have a refuse pile for that. Same thing happened with the elven thief who died to a rock trap.

An ocean wave can't cause any [serious] harm to a dwarf, right?

Did you get wood? o3o

If you're got all that, including all 3 types of cloth, you might simply be screwed. Might want to build around him to wall the poor sod in in case he goes berserk. Then it's all a matter of praying a caravan arrives in time.

Could some items he wants be only in stockpiles that are giving to somewhere else? Or aren't moods also affected by that?

If ammo hits a wall, it drops down. If there is a hole/channel to lower level it is not broken. It can probably fall several levels this way. Can it still do a damage during it's fall, similar to stones from suspended-and-cancelled constructions?

Is there any way to read about dance/musical forms, etc. from the Legends mode? In previous versions there was an "Art" section in the legends but it's absent in my new 0.42.03 world.

...so. When Toady made inebriation not show up on the health screen, did he go and break the justice system with regards to drunken actions?

Because I had a dorf get gang-banged and mauled in a bar brawl. Despite clearly suffering mortal wounds due to two fellow drunkards beating the shit out of him, in front of witnesses, the death never showed up on the justice screen.

The brawl stuff is a bug in regards to registered fight intensity. The game doesn't register fistfights as anything but brawl, but at the same time it's easily possible to punch someone to death. This causes it not to show up on the justice screen because as far as the dwarves are concerned there was no possibility of it going wrong, therefore murder didn't happen.

It's on mantis somewhere.

If a werebeast gets a crossbow bolt stuck in him, will the bolt remain stuck in him when he transforms back into human form?
