Wanted to wait for a mod to confirm this is actually new, but there you go : http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2369 [^]

Did you mod anything about the materials he is using?

Though I never had this problem with viewing artifact descriptions, when I add shells to donkeys in a running game, attempting to view individual donkey materials (specifically, their hoof parts) with loo[k] or through the stocks causes a crash. This presumably has to do with the changes to the donkey raw confusing the game about that those hoof parts are made of, subsequently screwing up the name and causing it to crash.

Although your artifact doesn't seem to be quite the same situation, the fact that it crashes under similar conditions suggests modding may be a possibility.

Alternatively it could be because he's trying to make a rock artifact out of a metal ore. That has not been a problem in past versions, but given the changes to materials and things like rock blocks showing up under metal materials in the bar/block stock menu, it could be the culprit.

No, didn't mod anything, materials or otherwise. The stone/metal relationship is interesting, was wondering why my stone block stockpiles weren't getting used till i enabled metal blocks.

Garnierite isn't one of those "problematic" ores using METAL_TEMPLATE, so that shouldn't be what's causing the crash in this case.

I just had a crash like this (in 0.31.06), when [v]iewing the description of an artifact, but my last save is before the stonecrafter got possessed. I just know, that it was some kind of crown, but I can't remember the material. :(

Does this save still crash in 31.08? There was a recent fix for a bug (0002271) that could cause crashes like this one.

Nope, seems to be fixed as well.
