My weaver, posessed, is gathering a ton of cloth in the clothier's shop. The point is, I neither got her in a burrow, or give the order of "stay inside" (i'm playing the last version, 31.18 BTW) The only thing preventing her to get out is a closed drawbridge (with a gobbo drowning trap) so i cannot open it to test. I have currently 308 pieces of cloth, and she also request thread, blocks and armok-knows-what more.(I got this information when i stuck her in a burrow so she stop getting all the cloth)
Also, first post (hi), and sorry if i have some grammar/mispelling/something error.
I'll post images tomorrow, where I live is late now!
(also, i forgot, does somebody know about something alike?)

IT IS DONE.
A MASTERFUL PIG TAIL FIBER HOOD
It's called Kenganur, "the steamy wonders"...fitting
It menaces with spikes of pig tail, rope reed, cow bone and iron.
It has nearly the whole story of my world.
There are 41 images of itself
There are images of dwarves beating elves.
There are images of plump helmets.
There are images of goblins butchering some dwarves in my fortress.
It has the image of an ettin smashing the finger of one dwarf.
There are pictures of elves dyeing. A LOT
It has an image of dwarves raiding a town. By the 1110th time.
It shows the image of a guy surrounded by crutches.
It is worth 620320 Dwarfbucks.
It weighs less than one Urist.
This is Dwarf Fortress.


Does anyone want the save, so they can post the images? I'm afraid that i'm quite incompetent in saving a screenshot u.u

she prolly needs something you dont have, and has gathered the rest of her materials

[arcangelsd]

No, I mean she's stuck gathering cloths. She has got about 18 pages of cloth in the workshop.
I know the other things because of, when i got her in a burrow, she stopped and sat in the workshop, demanding things

[Heliman]

Curious, this seems to be a new bug, perhaps it's because all the items of a certain kind she needs is forbidden?

[DasGuntLord01]

This reminds me of Planepacked, a limestone statue that contained the entire history of the world, including dozens of images of itself.

You may have stumbled upon a similar awsome bug.

[twilightdusk]

You'd better make sure this craftsman doesn't go insane, it would be a complete waste of a bug if he did.

Curious, this seems to be a new bug, perhaps it's because all the items of a certain kind she needs is forbidden?

its an old bug.  And the formula for planepacked is well understood by now.  it happens when you assign a mood dwarf to a burrow not including the claimed workshop.  The dwarf will endlessly gather the primary material for the artifact, until the burrow assignment changes.

[Heliman]

That is not how the original Plane Packed was made, because it was before burrows were implemented. Planepacked was caused by dwarves being forbidden to go outside when there were items out there the moody dwarf needed to get. The OP has already anticipated this and mentioned that this was not the cause, so we are troubleshooting.

[Man of Paper]

That is my new favorite post.

[Schmlok]

Burrows, keep everyone inside feature, It's pretty much the same thing:  A restriction on locations is involved.

Please don't post giant "gotcha" pics, It's really really annoying to have to scroll past that to keep reading.

[twilightdusk]

Burrows, keep everyone inside feature, It's pretty much the same thing:  A restriction on locations is involved.

The important part is that the OP said this is not the cause of the behavior.

The point is, I neither got her in a burrow, or give the order of "stay inside"

[Schmlok]

I didn't say that was the problem, but saying the burrow restriction is somehow not related to planepacked is dumb.

[Heliman]

Read it again Schmlok, I didn't say that burrow restriction bugs aren't related to Planepacked, I said that it isn't what caused it.

Oh! One more thing: I reserve the right to post any image I want thank you very fucking much, so if you get the nervous tics every time you have to roll your mouse wheel three clicks past my images you can be rest assured that I won't commiserate.

[slothen]

Okay, I admit to not carefully reading the OP.  This is indeed new.  Basically she has access to the whole fortress?  It could possibly have something to do with workshop orders relating to the use of dyed/non-dyed cloth, other than that I have no idea.

[arcangelsd]

OP here, i'm sorry if i delay posting until friday or so, RL is sucking my free time like hell.
But i think i found the reason of this mindless gathering.
When the possesion showed up, i hadn't a clothier workshop, so i had to build one in the first site available, it is, my common bedroom, which for some reason i can't remember was designated as an hospital. So there is the point, i wonder.
Also, news, more than 20 workshop pages now, siege, caravan crushed, she rushes outside to get more from the dead merchants. Fortunately, the siege is driven away by the caravan guards.
Also, she's using every piece of cloth, pig tail, rope reed, that is on the map.
So these are my thoughts so far. I'll try to post images today, or friday. Until then!
