My fortress recently got its first wave of migrants, and a higher number than usual are of useless late-game professions. Soap-makers, lye-makers, potash-makers, that sort of thing. I needed a Houndsdwarf to train the blood-drenched packs cavorting through my halls, so I looked for a new Dwarf who liked dogs. My Soaper is the only one who likes the slobbering things, so he was promoted to Houndsdwarf.

All of two minutes later he goes into a Fey Mood and runs off into the hills, where the immigrants first arrived. I'm assuming this is because I don't have a suitable workshop for a Dwarf whose only tradeskill is Soap-making. While he is ultimately expendable, I would like to try and save him if I can.

So. Am I correct in assuming that an Alchemist's Laboratory is the correct building for a crazed soaper? I doubt he'll actually find his materials, but its worth a shot.

Secondly, assuming that I do managed to get a shop up and he gets his materials, isn't it kind of inevitable that he'll just go insane farther down the line when some Dwarf uses the legendary soap to clean his dirtybits?

just build every workshop imaginable, starting with a craftsdwarf one... as i havent heard of any legendary soapbars yet.

Hmm, according to the wiki, soapers don't get their own strange moods and artifacts, they should just get generic moods and should take over a craftsdwarf's workshop. (Unless this is something new in 39b.)

Even he does make a soap artifact, I don't think dwarves actually use soap for anything, it's just a trade item, or if you're really ambitious, a building material.

[Bad_Skeelz]

I built a Craftshop and lo and behold, the loony has come out of the Wilderness.

And he needs bones. Another thing I don't have. Guess I'll have to strangle one of these puppies or something.

thats the true df spirit!

edit:
you can build stuff from soap? thats awsome!

That is now my goal.  A castle made entirely of Irish Spring.

I'm sure the elves will really get a kick out a fortress of ash and tallow.  I hope I give them indigestion.

You realize that you should be afraid of your first real rain shower, don't you

Thanks for all the help! One of the original mules was presumably strangled by an apprentice small-animal-dissector. Probably not what he was trained for. With my hunter blazing away at the rhesus monkeys, it didn't take long before I had enough bones. The Houndsdwarf is now a Legendary Bonecrafter with his, admittedly plain, mule-bone bracelet. Still, its named "Flamecolor" which is very appropriate for the fortress. Its built around the glass-making business, because I found a magma vent right in the middle of nowhere. Its right next to the river, in fact. How my Dwarves go about without being scalded, I have no idea.

Hi!

Even though I wasn't able to help, I am glad to hear your dwarf survived and succeeded with the mode. Good luck with your glass making.

Deathworks, you don't have to sign your name after everything you say.

That's what the signatures are for in the profile section.

You got it through ANIMALS? You should've killed off one of the immigrants before he knew anyone, a dwarf bone artifact, one less (Useless) mouth to feed, and you get to kill immigrants. It's a win-win-win.

For some people its a habit.

Dwarves who want any old bones are happy to use dwarf bone? That's so hardcore.

[Joseph Miles]

I'm pretty sure they are, what I'd LOVE to get is a fell or Macabre mood, whichever it's called. Chop 'em up! MWHUAHAHHA!
