Bismuth bronze bed queen mandate?

[Coop-Bot.Mobile Legends]

So, my needy queen decided to demand bed made from bismuth bronze to be placed in her royal dining room. I was like how mo-fo your demand supposed to be fullfilled?. I dont know how to build bed besides from wood logs. Is it possible to build from metal? I am so frustated right now because i have 5 legendary carpenter ready to be beaten into pulp by her death squad.

Only way it happens is with a strange mood, so the queen just checked mated you.

Myself I'd feel like introducing her to the underside of a drawbridge for her shenanigans,

It might save the carpenters to drawbridge her immediately.

The only way to get a bed that isn't made out of wood is to hope a blacksmith gets a mood, claims a workshop, grabs some bismuth bronze and specifically chooses to make a bed out of the list of dozens of things they could make instead.

The best solution here is to use reverse uno card on the Queen and have her beat to death by her own death squad.

Lava is always a solution.

My mayor has just demanded a clear glass bed in her dining room. I mean I'm not trying to kinkshame here, but come on.

You could probably stud/improve the bed with bismuth bronze, I think that worked in the past for similar situations.

This sounds like a really old bug I remember being fixed. Royals used to demand all kinds of impossible things, and I thought it was fixed years ago by making them only demand things from the jobs list.

This thread make me wonder how many other old bugs will be making a return tour. Should be all kinds of !!FUN!!.

In general, when you have a royal being a pain (in any way whatsoever, not just impossible demands) the solution is to dispose of them. There are no mechanics in the game (yet) that punish you for this as royalty is more a player status symbol than anything useful. Often the tantrum they throw from a missed demand is far worse than any issues that might arise from their early demise. Just off them and re-roll the position with a new dorf. I suggest killing them ASAP, before they start making noise and putting your actually valuable dorfs in the "justice" system.

Killing problematic royals is just part of the learning curve. There are a lot of weird and esoteric mechanics like this in the game. As more and more features are added some of the weirdness will get ironed out, just as more will be added.

(anyone remember when you could not let your dorfs socialize *at all*, least a single dead pet lead to a total meltdown-tantrum spiral? Don't listen to the carebears on this one kids, Friendship Kills).

i had a fort where the queen moved in and then 5 other barons/baronesses also decided to move in. I was stressing out trying to fill all their orders and make rooms fancy enough to keep them happy. Eventually I was like so fed up with them. I decided to send them on a forgotten beast safari in the caverns!

There is a difference between a mandate ("make short swords") and a demand ("Iron bed in the dinning room"). For mandates, some random dwarf will be punished if the mandate isn't filled, but for a demand, the only consequence to ignoring it is the noble gets a mild bad thought, so just ignoring this one is the obvious solution.

Both demands and mandates are controlled by a dwarf's item preferences, and for demands their material preferences also figure into it. Since those same preferences guide what a dwarf will produce in a mood, any noble demand is always something they could make if that noble moods in the right skill - so if your queen moods as a blacksmith (which makes metal furniture, among other things), and if you have the bismuth bronze she likes, then that bismuth bronze bed she wanted is a likely outcome of the mood. It isn't always 100%, since a dwarf can have multiple item and material preferences - if she also likes tables, you might get a bismuth bronze table instead. You also can't easily force a specific dwarf to mood, and only ever get one mood out of a given dwarf, so it is still hard to fill demands this way, it is just never completely impossible.
