A [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=43208.0 forum thread] and corresponding {{Bug|1416}} 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.
