I've been having some unusual issues with my current fort, where dwarves in strange moods will either fail to claim workshops, or begin working on artifacts but go insane before finishing. Now though, I've had one that finished his artifact and then went insane immediately after leaving the workshop. This was a fell mood, so it's possible that he was just too strung out, but I'm starting to wonder if there is something strange afoot.

Has anybody else seen this? Is it a known bug, or am I missing something?

Dwarves are supposed to become immune to insanity after completing an artifact.

Are they? How does that work? They don't gain any more stress after creating an artifact?

They can max out their stress and tantrum, but not permanently snap.

I did not know that. Thank you for that insight. It sounds like a bug to me then - like the artifact isn't being marked as completed somehow, or the mood is not resolving properly.

Edit: on closer inspection it seems he's actually only Harrowed. False alarm!

Closest I've had was a fell mood that led to the dorf in question murdering a member of her own family in order to make her gory artifact.  She somewhat missed her family member (I think it was a daughter?) and was very sad a lot of the time, and eventually drowned in a well cistern (although I don't think it was a suicide, just a coincidence).
