Odd strange mood bug
« on: February 14, 2009, 08:27:52 pm »
I know about a couple strange mood related bugs, but something happened to me that I've never experienced or heard about before:

My hunter had a strange mood, claimed a workshop and gathered his materials just fine. Now, as soon as he began work on his construction, dwarves flooded into the workshop, took everything he was working on, and took them back to their respective workshops. Now the fey dwarf is 'working furiously' on nothing, and has been doing that for quite some time now. More time than would normally be necessary to make an artifact. I think he may be stuck this way forever.

Is there any way to take care of this besides killing him? I doubt it, but figured I'd ask.

I.... would put this in "bug reports".
It sounds quite odd, really.

Alright, I crossposted into bug reports.

I think I'll channel out a tile above him and have my bucket brigade put him out of his misery.

Maybe, he will make a bone something. I've read about experiments with forbidding the stuff used in artifacts. It will be bone if he has nothing to work on, afaik. Bone is the first entry on the list of materials and it seems, the moody dwarf uses non-existant bone to make his artifact.
But it is kinda strange that his fellow dwarves stole the materials while he was working on them.

Actually, he went berserk a while later. I was a little concerned since he was a hunter and had a crossbow, but my elite team of wrestlers took him out no problem.

this happened to me many versions ago before i knew how the game worked, or even what a fey mood was. it was my trade broker and he ran around taking his clothes off. at the time i was so incredibly confused. it must be a frustrating way to lose a fey mood. seriously, send the save to toady, i hope you backed up a copy with him still working furiously. if this happened to a weaponsmith working adamantium or something i would probably do a real world DF style berserk.
