Hi everyone.  I'm new to the forums, but not particularly to the game.  I've recently run into an annoying scenario.  My planter entered a Secretive Mood and took over a crafting station, drawing pictures of "a shell", "stacks of cloth", and "skeletons", in that order.  After much panicking, I was able to get him a turtle shell, which he happily accepted and then proceeded to continue idling.  For some reason, he refuses to get the cloth.  Now, I've done some research and I realize that the "stacks of cloth" picture could represent either plant-fiber cloth or silk cloth, which is a puzzle that has tripped up others in the past.  I, however, am very sure that I have both, and have even been capable of trading for as much more as I want immediately, since the Dwarven caravan is conveniently available.  I clearly have pig-tail, rope-weed, cave spider silk, and giant cave spider silk.  I seem to have everything he could possibly need.  Does anyone have a clue on what I may be missing?

He may be looking for 2 shells.  If the shell message is there longer than the other messages he could be looking for another shell.

You said nothing about bones, and I'm pretty sure "a skeleton" stands for bones.

[SouthpawHare]

VTurtle may be right, the message for shells remains.  As for bones, I most certainly have them, but they are not the problem since the Dwarf gathers items in order.  He clearly took only the shell and then resumed idling, which means he is not onto the bones yet.

Sounds to me like he wants more shells.

Yes, it turns out this is correct.  He wanted a second shell.  I did not know that he could request more than one of the same item like that, or that they did not disappear from his list as he got them.  As thanks for the help, have a look at what he made:

Amothil, Speechweakened, a turtle shell animal trap.
This is a turtle shell animal trap.  All craftsdwarfmanship is of the highest quality.  It is decorated with giant cave spider silk and Pig tail and encircled with bands of turtle shell.  This object is adorned with hanging rings of turtle shell and menaces with spikes of turtle shell.  On the item is an image of Scorchdbridle the Golden ring in salmon bone.

And with that, a Legendary bone carver is born =)

The items linger for about two seconds each, so if you hover over your moody one and see about 10 seconds of rough color or such before it shows other things, he's asking for 5 or so gems.
