If it is possible to create an item from the moody dwarf's preferences with the chosen material and workshop, he usually (but not always) will. Even in some cases where it's not possible to create an item from a material, the dwarf will go ahead and do it anyway! This can result in things like [[magnetite]] [[bed]]s (normally only wood can be used to make beds) or [[billon]] [[armor|plate mail]] (normally billon is not suitable for weapons or armor). |
