0005021: "Masterwork has been lost" when merchants leave with traded items
As soon as visiting merchants leave the map, masterwork items traded to merchants are reported as stolen ('A masterwork of [dwarf] has been lost!') with accompanying negative thoughts for the creator. Have so far tested it on crafts of all kinds (mugs included), nest boxes, weapons, ammo, bins, and barrels.
Trade a masterwork quality item to any merchant and wait for them to leave the map with the item.

By any chance are you trading with a (modded) Kobold civilization?

Reminder sent to: Greymane

Can you update this report with a save (zip you DF/data/save/region folder and upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com [^] and post a link in the bug report) and let us know if you are using any mods (such as a modded kobold civ, etc).

Save is up. I AM using mods, nameless homebrew stuff that does include a couple alterations to the Kobold civilization.

Oddly, while I had seen this happen in completely clean, unmodded worlds before I started modding, I actually can't seem to get it to repeat in a clean game anymore. Might have jumped the gun on a bug report, if it's the fault of the mods.

EDIT: Just to specifically address the question Quietust asked (which I had misread at first), the trading in question is not with Kobolds, who are not modded for trade (just a few equipment and job related things). Trade is still only with dwarves, elves, and humans and the bug crops up with all of them.

Are you playing as kobold civ?
(0019398)
Greymane   
2012-01-16 15:44   
Kogut: Belatedly, nope. Just dwarves. In most of the worlds/forts it happened in, there weren't even any kobolds because they'd all died out. Whatever was causing it wasn't kobold-related.

I haven't seen this in DF 0.40.~~ Maybe it can be closed?

Anyone able to reproduce this with or without mods?

I can't seem to reproduce this, because I can't trade masterwork stuff (not even through messing around with bins), which I think is intended behaviour (maybe for now, but still intended). I've not seen this issue for quite some time, so I suspect it can be closed.

@vomov Not being able to trade Artifacts is as intended. Not being able to trade Masterwork (would be) a bug.

No, Footkerchief. I am selling masterful ☼trap component☼s to dwarves and humans in 40.23 and neither such message nor bad thoughts of my carpenters noted.

vomov   
2015-01-05 03:43   
@ptb_ptb: mixed the terms 'Masterwork' and 'Artefact', whoops! (the negative thought threw me off)

Selling or getting rid of Masterwork stuff isn't a problem, as far as I can see; I've been deforesting aggressively and selling masterwork stuff for quite some time now, without issues.

Artefacts being non-tradable and the bad thoughts etc. resulting from a loss seems to be working as intended.
(0031700)
Detros   
2015-01-05 09:02   
So, can this be closed as "no more in current version"/"maybe caused by a mod" or something like that, at least until somebody manages to reproduce it in 0.40.20 or higher version?
(0031720)
Footkerchief   
2015-01-05 17:00   
That seems reasonable.

If anyone has a save that reproduces this problem in the latest version, please upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] and PM a manager on the forums (or reopen the report).

Just in case it can be useful, here's a save where this happened to me:

On a completely unmoded game.

Also happened to me after the merchants left the map.

Unmodded, now with fancy screenshots!

In case it might assist further, here is another save, taken just before the traders leave the map with the "lost" masterwork.
