DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Most Memorable Moods
« on: November 26, 2014, 10:07:07 pm »
A thread to talk about our most memorable Moods; completed, or utter disaster.
Just had one, the second of this fort; a dwarven child was possessed, and proceeded to stand around doing nothing in the dining room. The only thought he had the entire time was "I am fine."
A few months later, he goes mad and punches a nearby child. He is, of course, split into multiple pieces by an idling miner.

He went mad because he couldn't do work. Purely because he's a child, and children are physically incapable of cutting a rock, hauling a brick, or any other thing besides eat, sleep and drink.
Everyone in the dining room proceeded to vomit all over his severed bits strung around the room, and the average mood of the fort dropped three sizes that day.

DF Gameplay Questions / Problem with job selection
« on: October 26, 2014, 07:45:47 pm »
Hey, new to DF, on my first fort. Things seem to be going well, but I'm having a problem assigning jobs. Whenever I try to de-assign or assign a new job to somebody (For example: Make this new migrant Armorer a useful Engineer) the job selection flashes white, then goes back to grey. If I try to de-assign a job, it goes grey for a second, then returns to white. This happens for most other jobs, though not all; Mining will always override any other job, but I can't de-select mining.
As a result I have like four miners now.
What am I doing wrong?
