Summary0002475: Mood Dwarf Asks for Stone and Metal Bars Despite Availability
DescriptionI've got a possessed metalcrafter in a magma forge asking for "bars... metal" and "stone... rock" and won't grab anything, despite a bar stockpile three squares away with 200 metal bars of various flavors.

Probably not a bug. They sometimes want a specific type of bar/metal. Check his preferences, and try getting some of those items.

Will do--never realized there was ever a specific material request. Probably should be added to the spoiler section on the wiki.

Alternatively, they will only grab items in order, so if there's something else they want (Cloth, maybe) first, that you don't have, they will never grab the rest.
Also alternatively, even if they have some of the items, but not all of them, I believe they will continue requesting all of the items in the look screen until they obtain all of them. (So if they want rock, bars, and cloth they will get rocks, bars, but not cloth, and continue asking for all three).
Finally if you have burrows set up that will cause problems.
But yes, apparently there are sometimes very specific requests - but this I think usually happens if you have the item available but the dwarf can't get to it (That is, it's still in a wall or behind a locked door or somesuch).

I think with the wonkiness of some of the material types, it creates situations where the item is impossible to fulfill (slade bars, etc).

The dwarf specifically wanted a particular type of metal bar, and when I created it (brass bars, as per his preference) he got to work.

So, bug closed I guess?

Metalworking moods (metalcrafing, weaponsmithing, etc) are known to be picky when it comes to the metal that they want. Whether this behavior is intentional on Toadys part, no idea.

Yep, bug closed.

Moral of the story - moods are very specific sometimes!
