Strange Mood Problem
« on: March 18, 2012, 08:58:01 pm »

I just got a strange mood. According to dfhack and the wiki, he needs metal bars (2), any bones, rock blocks, rock boulder, any leather, and any bones. He's already collected all of these things in the metalsmith's forge, but he hasn't started building. In the forge, there are iron bars, stray two-humped camel bones [18], microcline blocks, hematite, two-humped camel leather, and more iron bars, all with TSK.

He asks for blocks...bricks, leather....skin, bones...yes, bars...metal, stone...rock.

Is there a glitch? Did I miss something?

edit: He didn't have enough bones. Apparently dfhack doesn't tell you how many bones you need. Good to know.

Are you sure this is the exact order he asks for items? Dwarves will collect is a specific order, so look carefully.
So if iron bars were the last thing he collected, then he wants either more iron bars or whatever comes after iron bars.

If it isn't a mag forge, you'll want some charcoal, in there aswell.

actually, there is no set number of bones he needs, but bones stacks. He needed two sets of bone stacks and would have been as happy with two stacks of 4 puppy bones as with one puppy bone stack and a stack of 198 titan bones (yes, that happened to me once)

Fuel isn't required during a mood.
