One of my gem setters went into a secretive mood in my latest fortress.
I didnt have any jewelers workshops, but they grabbed the font of life of my fortress... the Still. Grabbed a gem and, well :
   

Im guessing its a bug that this appears to be successful. I should point out that the central point of the Still overlaps the bottom left corner of a Meeting Zone in that hall, could that be the cause. I know you have to build workshops over mooding dwarfs if the workshop wasnt available before the mood, could this be the cause?

*Edit* Forgot to mention, Im still running 33c. But I didnt spot any about this problem in the change logs for D or E.

From the wiki:

quote: Moody dwarves will occasionally seize a random workshop and proceed to create their artifact there. Following completion of the artifact, this workshop will often be converted into the type originally desired by the dwarf.

This is not a bug, it is a feature.

And its right. Im now the proud owner of a Jewelers. Thanks for the quick response.

What artifact did your dwarf produce ?  

As glass is a trasted as a type of gem, and a Still becomes a Jeweller's, should he have created the Beer-bottle of the Nibelungs

The workshop type shouldn't matter.  Once the dwarf starts working, everything should be fine.  Do you still have the save?  You also might try to run it in 33e, since there were some changes that might indirectly solve the bug (since I fiddled with some portions around there).

Reports of 23a also mentioned that sometimes the workshop is changed into the right kind of workshop the moody dwarf is supposed to aim for. This is known from a while now on the old Wiki...
