Possessed Metalcrafter wont work
« on: April 02, 2010, 01:07:07 pm »
I just got my first mood in the new version, a possession  :-\. A fisher/metalcrafter. He claimed a forge and now sits there and does nothing. He tells me he needs "bars... metal..." and "cloth... thread...".
I have a shiney aluminum bar only made for him (im still working to get my industy set up) and i have a bunch of pig tail cloth, pig tail tread and silk cloth.
So why isnt he doing something?

Either it's a bug or he's asking for silk thread.
Mooded dwarf always grab stuff in an order.  So even if you have a bar, if he needs thread first, he won't grab the bar until he got his thread.

One of the toads decided to go for a swim in the moat - presumably because he could path through the moat to my dwarves. He is not charging in, just loitering in the moat.

The toad is having a nice relaxing swim.
The goblin mounted on his back, however, is drowning.

Save and load, could be the pathing bug

(and saving +loading sometimes helps)

It's your fault you can't make it or don't have it. You failed that dwarf.
