Fey mood question.
« on: July 24, 2009, 10:39:44 am »

I've got a metalcrafter who went into a feymood. I built him a magma forge (luckily a caravan had just arrived) but he wont move or claim the workshop.

Any suggestions to at least see what he needs to claim it?

It's possible he wants a non-magma forge - try building one (if you don't have a spare anvil, use the one from the magma forge) and seeing if he reacts. Note that he won't require any fuel to produce his artifact if he uses a normal metalsmith's forge.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Check his wounds, make sure he can path to forge, check if you have any metal bars.

Make sure he doesn't have any other skills and doesn't want another building instead

I'm 90% sure your magma is the problem.  Build him a normal forge.

You DID make sure there's magma under the forge, right?

Yeah, i'm sure we had a similar problem not too long ago, some guy had a magma forge and non-magma forge and his Blacksmith or w/e wouldn't take it.
Turns out his magma forge only had 2/7 magma underneath or smth.

I can confirm that you might need a non-magma forge.  I was in the same situation, getting a lot of use out of my magma forges, but had to build a regular forge for a moody dwarf.
