DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Mood !!SCIENCE!!
« on: April 18, 2012, 02:47:37 pm »
Okey dokey, I haven't gone out of my way to do science as such (kinda hard to with moods...), but I believe I've noticed something about getting possessed vs. fey/secretive moods: a dwarf will always (and only?) be possessed if he has no moodable skills that aren't crafting skills.
Basically, if they've got weaponsmithing or something they'll get a weaponsmithing fey/secretive mood.
If they got say, woodcrafting, they'll get a crafting fey/secretive mood.
If they've got e.g. cheesemaking, they'll get a crafting possessed mood.
As it stands the wiki claims possessed moods are totally random, but in all the moods I've had so far (using v34.07), this seems to be the pattern - possessed is only for non-moodable non-crafting skills. I've no idea how fell or macabre moods fit in, I've never had a dwarf unhappy and mooded at the time.
This is just what I've noticed so far - those who get a crafting mood and are not crafters are always possessed, and are the only possessed. I might be suffering from pure fluke, so can anyone else debunk/back me up on this?
