im playing a modded version with df hack included, Unib has all desired materials and started construction of mysterious object, but halfway through it he leaves the workshop. i savescummed and the behavior repeated, there were some keas harassing dwarves and traders nearby, but Unib didnt give me any interruption messages, just lingers by the trade depot blinking purple !.
anybody had similar problems? is this a know bug? possible workarounds?

Powered workshops will cause the dorf who claimed it to immediately go insane if the power is lost (including if you just let magma into a tunnel to power your magma workshops and the power fluctuates on and off before stabilizing, but the bugger manages to reach and claim it before the fluctuations end). If your mod somehow has a powered carpenter's workshop you might get that kind of result.

It's likely that he was scared by the nearby creatures - evidently, that doesn't cause the job to cancel (and the dwarf to go insane), but it does cause the dwarf to run away (and not automatically return to the workshop afterwards).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
