as for strange moods, you just have to stockpile all sorts of things and hope they dont ask for too many shells or what have you. what do you mean by the artifact cap? I wasn't aware there was a point where artifacts stop

Conditions
In order for a dwarf to be struck with a strange mood, three conditions must be met:
There is no currently active strange mood,
The maximum number of artifacts is not met,
There are at least 20 eligible dwarves (see below), including dwarves who have already created artifacts.
If all three of these conditions are true, the game may trigger a strange mood according to the frequency.

Maximum number of artifacts
The maximum number of artifacts in any one fortress is limited by the lower of:
The number of items created divided by 100.1 Mined-out rock does count as an "item created", though it is not clear whether bolts or units of drink are counted individually.
The number of revealed subterranean tiles divided by 2304 (this is an area equivalent to a 48x48 square). Once you discover and explore the caverns and magma sea, this limit becomes largely irrelevant, and using a "reveal" utility will eliminate it altogether, though strip-mining an area entirely and exposing it to the surface will count against this.
1 - actually the sum of all items by type and by type+subtype+material, divided by 200. Furthermore, destroying items does not decrement these counters, so casting and mining obsidian will count toward this.

Aaand Done! Edit away, and do take note of my comments on the side.

Would you like to add each type of workshop and furnace to the list, or shall we keep this monumental task at its current length?
