A miner gained mining experience from a strange mood....
« on: July 11, 2015, 08:51:29 pm »
So, I was mining out a large area of stone when one of my miners entered a secretive mood. He claimed a mason's workshop and made a granite coffer. But instead of becoming a legendary mason, he became a legendary +5 miner. I thought that strange moods only gave experience for the skill used to create the artifact?

Its a feature. Impregnating booze is a planned tech tree for dwarves and this is a sneak peek at it.

It's called a miner mood. I got a tanner mood earlier today where the dwarf went to the leather workshop and created something probably useless.

Nope.

Other unexpected item-producing skills include Weaver, Engraver, Gem Cutter/Setter, and Tanner. And Bone Carver sometimes produces non-standard furniture instead of off their usual list.
