Friendly outpost liaison gets a strange mood?
« on: October 31, 2007, 04:19:00 pm »

With the dwarfs each fall comes their outpost liaison... but while in my fort, this particular liaison happened to take on a strange mood:

He's not in a strange mood. He is melancholy because he cannot find a way out of your fort.

I have been experiencing the same issue, but they go BERSERK on me! I wish they would just go melancholy if they can't get out.

My Dwarves have no problem pathfinding around.

FWIW, it happened to me when my meeting area (where he got stuck) was several levels below the opening to the outdoors.

Thanks for the information and quick reply... I built my trade depot slightly inside my fort and there's no way to get out of my fort except by going through the trade depot, so I thought that might've been the problem... but even with a second path out, the liaison still seems stuck.
... as seen by the screenshot, he met with my broker in a statue room 5 flights below my entry. He kinda wonders between the dining rooms and the statue room. None of my dwarfs have any pathing problems at all.
... if it matters, I changed by broker half way through. So the caravan traded with one broker but the liaison met with a different broker. *shrug*

Once he is melancholy, he won't try to leave anymore but will instead either kill himself or just starve to death.

you will need to wait for a fresh liaison to see if he gets stuck
