Possessed dwarf needs mystery materials
« on: November 25, 2008, 03:00:46 am »
One of my craftsdwarf's been possessed by some ungodly force or another and after taking one of my workshops hostage his demands are; stone rock (got it), a shell (check), cloth thread (check2), rough  color (?), tree  life (??). I am confused by the last two. I really don't want him to go insane he's been a good dwarf until he started making unclear demands.

According to http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Strange_mood#Demands - Rough color is some manner of uncut gem.  Dig out any you can find.  Tree life is just logs,b ut he won't fetch item #5 until he gets item #4 -- so even if you have 50 logs, he'll wait until you have the right sort of gem.

The denser the dwarf, the more likely he'll survive his stupidity.

Thanks I suppose the strange mood entry in the wiki woulda been the place to check, but I just typed in the name of what he was demanding (duh). I must not have the right kinda gems for him, to the mines!

Success! Turns out he wanted skill cloth instead of plant. Was able to weave some up in time to save him.

And then it'll turn out you went to all that trouble for an artefact toy axe.

With silk cloth as part of the ingredients, it will still be worth a fair bit though.

I'd like to see you explain how did you manage that to typo that.

...I read this as Processed Dwarf Mystery Meat.


Yeah, I lost a particularly awesome artifact (the dwarf wasn't more than a spare metalworker) because the guy apparently wanted Electrum bars exclusively. Even after I figured that out, he suffered thanks to an Electrum-happy mandating mayor having come to power a season or two back, and us not having more than what the caravan brought.
