0000530: Soldier continues service after going insane
a military dwarf had a fey mood when he was in the barracks training. After he went raving mad from not getting the items he needed, he started training again. He would still move and fight when given squad orders, but refused to pick up equipment because he was raving mad. He died of thirst later as normal.
Edit: Modified to reflect notes, duplicate issue.

I didn't watch whether my mad soldierdwarf was still training or fighting, but I did get *really* tired of being spammed with "Urist McNutjob cancels Pickup Equipment: Too insane." every few seconds until he finally died of thirst.

Just got this too. Despite the spamming of "...cancels Pickup Equipment: Too insane." He eventually got his equipment and started an individual combat drill.

The still-obeying-orders behavior also happens with dwarves who simply got too unhappy and went melancholy (and are running around babbling).

Also, they obey burrow restrictions as well.

I had this happen last night and thought I'd check to see if it had already been reported.

Similar scenario: Already assigned military dwarf went into a melancholy state, but I was still able to issue move and kill orders. He would train as well.
He eventually died of thirst.
