one of my dwarves entered a fey mood and claimed a mason's workshop. he then started to drag the required materials there... but so far he has collected about 50 stones (all marked with TSK) and he keeps getting more. i assume this is a bug? anything i can do?

by the way, he's not gettin the stones from the stockpile just around the workshop. he gets them from another stockpile half across (in all dimensions!) the map... all kind of stones so far.

Sounds like he's in a burrow limiting his understanding of what is enough.

Yea he'll be fine.  AFAIK dwarves wont starve or dehydrate or w.e. while in a  mood.  Its going to piss you off though when he makes one quern from all of that stone.

Uhu, i see another Planepacked here!
It's a problem that relies on the burrow restriction,  it will keep picking up materials until it runs out or you disable the burrow itself.

i have no active burrows. forbidding the stones in the workshop as well as his favorite stockpile helped.

Remember to screenshot the artifact and the titan sieges that come with it!

Are you absolutely certain about that?

Is your mason explicitly assigned to a burrow?

A copy of your savegame (uploaded to DFFD) will tell us exactly what's going on.

[letsdance]

yes i actually had a burrow! i try to avoid them as much as possible =) deleting the burrow solved the issue. i now have a value 201,600 value artifact bed

Ooh, I never knew about that glitch. Exploiting in 3, 2, 1...!

Edit: That's actually a good way to get rid of hundreds of excess stone, right?

That.. or an excellent way to gain hundreds of excess megabeasts at your doorstep.

Useful for overlapping all your dwarves' bedrooms. Dig a 10x10 room, build 99 base quality beds and that one superbed in it, make 100 bedrooms (this is the slow part), don't even smooth it or build a door or anything. Still legendary housing. (except, oddly, the one guy who sleeps in the superbed itself.)

Excess megabeasts? I think there is something fundamental I'm missing here, I don't get it. Is it a joke?
