Hey guys i need some help i have a moody dwarf and  he wants silk cloth but i don't have any is there a way i can like hack it in or something i just got my first magma furnaces to work without a lot of fun and i don't want a tantrum spiral because the guy is a legendary farmer and pretty popular

I don't know much about modding, but you can wall him in to keep him from causing trouble. Walls or locked doors are good for this. Or you can do some save scumming and hope for a different outcome.

i was hoping the wall in wasn't mentioned    i have the workshops to where i cant wall him in

Station your military near bye? Since its unwallable magma is out of the question?

[CapnUrist]

Close him in somehow; if need be relocate your workshops. If a dwarven caravan comes before he snaps, they may have some silk for you to give him.

One easy method is to assign a guaranteed-mood-fail Dwarf a war dog.  While war dogs are decidedly ineffective against anything armored, they'll rip through a berserk unarmored Dwarf like a knife through hot butter most of the time.

You said you got magma smelters set up recently. Does that mean you used the magma sea, and therefore went through the caverns? Why not just crack open one of those and set someone to weaving duty? Preferably with a loom set up already, of course.

There should be a way to create a custom reaction to make silk.

Right here. War Dogs are like goddamn sharks when it comes to tantruming tunnel dwellers.

Hmm?

can't you not do that to an existing fort or will it be ok

It'll work if you replace an existing reaction with the new one (keeping the old header and such). Adding new reactions to an existing world won't work, and things tend to go very wrong if you remove one under said circumstances (reactions affect world generation, among other things).

To be fair, I doubt this would actually work without a secondary material definition.
