One of my dwarves is having a strange mood but it just hanging around the dining area. Is this normal?

One of my dwarves is having a strange mood but it just hanging around the dining area. Is this normal?

I'm not certain, since I haven't been playing for that long...  Maybe not all moods result in a dwarf claiming a workshop...  But I've seen that happen when I didn't have the right workshop that they wanted to claim.

Is there a way to check and see what the dwarf is looking for?

[Quietust]

If your moody dwarf is not claiming a workshop, then you don't have the necessary workshop. What is the dwarf's highest moodable skill?

[Cheese]

This seems to be the case. it's armourer, and I haven't even got forgeries up yet :/. I need a way to get everyone out of the dining hall so I can seal it off somehow...

[Boksi]

Just to note, IIRC he won't need fuel to do whatever it is he wants to do, so if you have an anvil and metals, that's all you'll need.

I have an anvil, no metals though. I'm walling off the dining room now, unfortunately there's one other guy in there. I don't need him much though.

[Quietust]

In that case, build a wood furnace and make some charcoal, then build a smelter and make some metal bars from the ore you've almost certainly located so far. A single strange mood typically won't need more than 3 metal bars, and hopefully your armorer will want an easily available metal like iron (check the dwarf's Preferences - either the specific preferred metal will be required, or any metal will suffice).

[Cheese]

I'll get the anvil back if I destroy the smelter/thing that requires anvil right?

[Diablous]

Yep.

[Cheese]

Thanks guys

[Quietust]

A smelter or wood furnace only requires a fire-safe building material - only a forge requires an anvil. Thus, build a metalsmith's forge and let your armorer claim it, then [q] over it to see what items you're going to need (if it's a fey mood, you'll see exactly what's needed, whereas secretive moods or possessions will be more cryptic).

Dwarves are being annoying. The guy I assigned to wood burning to turn the wood into charcoal is the only guy not doing anything :/
EDIT: Nevermind, that guy is trapped .
It worked  I now have an artifact iron mail shirt

more impotently you hopefully have a legendary armor smith, which means more effective equipment for all
