My farmer was possessed, claimed a craftsdwarf workshop, began his mysterious construction, then went insane an hour after that. He never finished it. Is this ever supposed to happen?

[Toady One]

It's not supposed to happen, but it has been reported before...  dunno what's going on yet.

[Aquillion]

Could this happen if one of the items needed for construction decayed or was otherwise destroyed?  Someone else hinted that they thought that that was what was happening.

same thing happened to me, a guy claimed a workshop and started working immediately with nothing but the piece of limestone he was carrying when he was possessed. he never finished and went berserk after a couple months.

I just got this with a mason. taken by a fey mood, picks up two stones, begins work, never finishes, goes insane.
Now stones don't degrade so it's obviously not that.
It seems like he actually started construction before gathering all the required materials.

I'm bumping this because it happened to me today also-

Mason Dwarf became posessed, took over a craftdwarf's shop, drug a single chalk rock over, started working furiously, but never produced anything.  He went insane after about a season and a half or more.

I had a carpenter go fey, stand around until I built a bowyer's workshop, then immediately claim it and start working with nothing until he went insane some months later. this was 110.23b.

Griz, it gave you a message that they started working when there was nothing in the shop under [t]?
