What does my posessed dwarf want?
« on: December 10, 2011, 10:38:58 pm »
So one of my dwarves was posessed. I noticed that he wasn't claiming any workshops so I started building some. Then I build some more. And some more.

Now I have at least one of every workshop, excluding

A quern, a millstone, a butcher's shop, a still, a farmer's workshop, a kitchen, a fishery, an ashery, a dyer's shop, a soap maker's workshop, and a screw press.

But he won't claim anything.

What does my dwarf want?!

Imagine you're driving a car. Push the gas pedal to the floor. Close your eyes. Remain this way for ten minutes while turning the wheel at whim. This is Dwarf Fortress.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

What's his highest moodable skill?
Edit: Do you have a magma forge?

If he is the only dwarf allowed a particular skill the required workshop won't get built.

You may have a dwarf so monumentally stupid he doesn't know whether it's breakfast or arsehole time and is going to be, in time, driven mad by the spirit possessing him screaming "pillock" inside his empty head.

What actually goes on in the mind of a possessed dwarf? Hmm.....

The curse of the democratic voices in the head:
"Hey, I want a forge!"
"But I want a mason's workshop"
"All shut up, I WANT TO CARE CARVE THINGS OUT OF BONE!!"
"Can't we get a majority somewhere here? Needed for democratic votes?"
All: "NOOO! GET OUT!"
Jeah, you really miss the guy who runs in and shoots everyone besides one, because the dwarf is to dumb to think of him....

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Then it's Fun and Dwarf Fortress.

My trade depot is set to flood with water at the pull of a lever.  It's deep in the tunnels with easy drainage.  I call it my "water for goods" trading policy.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

OH SHI--
You have a point, I enjoy them, too.

Maybe you built a workshop unaccessable, there are squares in some workshop that cannot be passed, it is the dark green pnes when you build them.

Check for burrows! Check that there's a path to the workshops! Check that he's not supposed to be building the workshops himself!

Bowyer's workshop

I had all those.

I had every workshop aside from magma forges and the ones I mentioned in my first post.

They were all built.

He didn't claim any.

At the time, there were no burrows active.
