0000835: Mood Dwarfs do not recognize bones
A Tailor became Withdrawn and claimed a clothier's shop, and specified the need for 'skeletons' and 'stacks of cloth'. Despite having ample reams of cloth, and having slaughtered a mule and puppy, the tailor would claim nothing, and eventually went insane. Have not been able to reproduce.

What type of cloth did you have? Specifically, did you only have 1 type of cloth?

Moody dwarves are very specific when it comes to cloth - they can differentiate between plant cloth and silk cloth.

Furthermore, they will ignore other readily available materials further down on their list if they cant find their current desired item.

I can confirm that moody dwarves DO see bones, as I had a bone-base artifact just the other day.

If the cloth thing doesn't explain it, this is probably a duplicate of 0000159

I have quite similar fey mood with dwarf screaming for "body parts" and "silk cloths". I butchered a cat to produce bones which the moody dwarf quickly fetched, but he doesn't care about silk cloths I have in cloth stockpile.

EDIT: Just butchered a horse also and the moody dwarf went to pick up bones again and then took the silk cloths. So I can also confirm body parts are working.
