Blood coverings, like mud and vomit, never go away. They could have gotten those coverings the day they were born or only a few frames ago. It's important for dwarves to have several layers on all parts of their body.Fixed.
Well, it's modded to hell and back, but I can. Let me clean up the folder to save on space.In my fort thats lasted me quite awhile, I just noticed a strange dwarf that hung out with my marksdwarves. I cannot access his thoughts, preferences, or relationships. Normally it'd be cool to have some random dwarf join my army out of nowhere, but he just killed all the elves that came to trade (still debating whether this is good or not, I want exotic animals, and cloth). He's an elite marksdwarf with perfect stats, hope I can figure out what the hell he's doing in my fort.
EDIT: After various snooping in my backed up save in legends and reading relationships of some dwarves, he got married to my clerk. That however, raises another question, how the hell did a dwarf that isn't part of my civilization marry another dwarf, and why would he stay in my fort?
I've never heard of anything like this and the only thing I can think of is if you somehow have some other civ's king (who is at war with the elves) by discovering HFS and he happened to be a legendary marksdwarf from worldgen. Which I don't think can actually happen.
Can you upload a copy of your save?
You think that is weird?
One of the immigrants brought children to my map. One of them grew to become a peasant, was drafted, and became my favourite swordsdwarf. When I made a copy and checked the legends - it appears that he was only two years old when he grew up and picked up a sword.
Weirder yet, I checked megabeasts to see how they died. and discovered that this one hydra had been killed by a dwarf back in 38 ... and after abandoning the fort. THAT VERY SAME HYDRA charged in and ruined a masterful engraving, a masterful weapon rack and a masterful chest.
EDIT: oh and on topic. Maybe he came with the traders and she married him? Check his history, what civilization he belongs to - and what civilization you're trading with.
EDIT 2: I figured that it would be logical for my nobles and administrators to have some kind of friendship towards foreigners if it was true that relationships could form ... but there is none. Not even a passing acquaintance ... the only thing remotely close to this, is the fact that my queen has a fuckton of uncles, aunts, cousins and whatnot .. and her advisor has a husband as well as a fuckton of uncles, aunts etcetera. None of them are on the map.
Exactly what year did yours marry?
Holy shit, deconstructing the coffin made him finally start working, awesome.Fell Moods are different, they have no demands, they just kill someone and make something out of their body parts. I think the person he killed corpse was claimed by someone to put in a coffin accepting burials so he didn't get it.
If so, then give him back his body. He killed it, he's willing to clean it, he should keep it.
If you're talking of a fell mood in general, they're very rare as they have special requirements. It's basically a mood that happens when a dwarf gets the lucky(or unlucky?) roll and gets a mood WHILE he is unhappy, it's very atmospheric in a tantrum spiral, everyone is going crazy/berserk/extremely depressed and suddenly someone just stops and starts laughing then murders another dwarf to make an object.He wants something you aren't offering him.
If you <q>uery the workshop, you should(?*) see a list of demands, items he wants. They may be a bit cryptic - see wiki "mood"/demands for a list of interpretations.
(*fell moods might be diff - dunno.)Not that he will cycle through item demands - the workshop won't show all demands at once. Also, he may be working - check and see if you got the "Urist McFell has begun a mysterious construction!' message, or just see if the workshop says he's working. You may have missed the memo (I do that sometimes, hitting space while already centered on the workshop and just as the start of the construction pauses the game).Fell Moods are different, they have no demands, they just kill someone and make something out of their body parts.

what the hell?
Ive never heard of that
