Children and moods
« on: January 17, 2016, 10:51:55 pm »
PLEASE PLEASE make children that get a mood grab a random workshop, don't restrict them to craftsdwarves workshop.
Or just make children unmoodable alltogether.

The whole strange mood mechanic is due for replacing at some point, I think.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

I'd just remove them from molding. Aside from killing the kids, the best you can do is exploit mood weights. Smithing moods trigger more frequently than kids.  If you have groomed 30 dwarves for weapon smithing, then you heavily tip the scales against a low-weight craft-by-default mood.

To clarify, a STONECRAFTER has the same weight as a weaponsmith. A child (farmer, trader, or any other "non-mooding" profession) that defaults to crafting has less than a third chance of triggering. Sadly, professions like engraver and miner count as moods, but at least they are also low-weight like children.
