Summary0000431: New lobster/turtle feature causes mass insanity
DescriptionShells are created by cleaning fish at the fishery(turtles or lobster), fish traded for have no shells. As a result, there's no way to trade for shells. If you are on a map with no turtles or lobster, all dwarves who go into moods requiring shells are doomed to insanity. Since shells are one of the most common mood items, this means just about every dwarf who has a mood will go crazy.
Steps To Reproduceplay on a map with no turtles or lobsters.
Tagsinsanity, mood, trade

Seems like an unintended consequence of the new system. A quick fix could let us trade for shells

yes its not really a bug, more of a conceptual design problem. But its definitely annoying, and not fun.

I hadn't thought about this, but I have had a painfully large number of dwarves go insane on me. It was positively fun when the first one went since he was my only woodcutter, he had the only real weapon in the whole fort. 11 dwarves died that day... Their blood still coats the halls, literally. ;P

Not a bug. Unless/until Toady decides to use the tracker for feature requests, please direct requests to the Suggestions forum.
