The artifact remained a complete enigma for months, until another player unwittingly created Broiledprinces, another mega-artifact. The original bug that was the source of these artifacts was later discovered, and the glitch was repeated by several other players until the bug was fixed. |

+ | The statue itself contains an ungodly amount of items built into it, and contains what would appear to be the entire history of the world in which it was created. It also includes ''73 images of itself'', leading one to believe that either the designs engraved upon it are minutely fractal, or that where Planepacked stands the universe folds. It also most likely contains several pictures of toads, and squares, but strangely, no cheese. Drunk dwarves tend to claim planepacked was the result of packing an entire plane of existence full of dwarven engineering to punish it for the lack of cheese, which Planepacked's creator was craving. | ||

+ | Planepacked was worth an amazing 3,105,600☼, an extremely high amount in relation to its rather mundane materials. | ||

− | A [http://www. | + | A [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=43208.0 forum thread] and corresponding [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=1416 bug report] narrowed down the cause of Planepacked: a moody dwarf who claims an outdoor workshop when dwarves are not allowed outside will continue gathering materials for his artifact without ever crossing any off his "list." He will only gather materials from inside locations, and will do so until no more of that item remain. If dwarves are allowed outside he will complete his current item and move on to the next. It is unclear if forbidding the outdoors causes him to collect more of the initial item, or more of the new item. Due to the plentiful nature of stone and the frequency of moods involving stone items, it's no surprise that Planepacked was made out of stone. In versions 0.31 and later, where the "stay indoors" order was removed, the same can be accomplished instead by using [[burrow]] restrictions - in this case, the workshop is claimed outside the burrow, and only items inside the burrow will be collected. |
It is considered an exploit to allow the moody dwarf to continue to gather materials using this manner, thus forcing the artifact to have more items than normally possible. | It is considered an exploit to allow the moody dwarf to continue to gather materials using this manner, thus forcing the artifact to have more items than normally possible. | ||
