Looking through the wiki on strange moods, I am basically certain I meet all the requirements listed. I currently have 90 artifacts or so. So that means I need something like
(90*200) = 18,000 items created
and
(90*2304) = 207360 subterranean tiles revealed.

I have, no matter how you count it, far more items created.
31,000 + booze
3000 + other
300,000 + rock blocks
5000 + armor
4000 + clothing
5000 + cloth
9000 + bars
3000 + gems
7000 + barrels and bins
etc.

I have minded out considerably above 300,000 tiles, making that requirement fulfilled and beyond.

I have way more than 20 dwarves who haven't had any strange moods in the past.

Nonetheless, I haven't had a dwarf with a strange mood in many years, despite the continued growth of my fortress.

I do have artifacts turned on in the .init file.

Is there anything else that could be causing this? I have checked the bug list and the forum search with no luck. Is there an absolute cap on artifacts created in a fortress? Because that would be a shame...

Your fortress is over one hundred and eighty years old, right?

I think you're in uncharted territory when it comes to things like that.

Maybe moods also have to do with how many items you make in a year, like the requirements for the baron to arrive and get promoted.

How recently have all those items been created?

[QuantumSawdust]

It may be because of my fortress' age, but I'm hoping not. If no one has run into a similar problem before, that may the logical assumption though...

I think I stopped receiving new strange moods somewhere between year 80-120, most likely toward the later end.

How much patience have you got? Bloody hell. Longest I've gotten is 4 years.

[Vester]

The world is static outside, right? No births, no deaths, no new kings and queens?

Does that mean your humans have long since died out?

[QuantumSawdust]

I'm not sure what the outside world looks like now. I still get traders, but I'm pretty sure those are spawned regardless of civ status. I've been meaning to load up an adventure sometime to check things out, but haven't really gotten around to making the save backup to do so with. The curiosity has been bugging me though.

The wiki has a lot of outdated information on it, I don't know how far I'd trust what it says about the exact mechanics of the artifact cap.

Before you take blind shots at the wiki, know where the data is coming from. In this case, it's from parts that (according to Toady) have not been upgraded since the last version, and so are quite accurate.

But thanks for playing.
