Sergeant_Crunch posted:Just embarked on a tile with a salty river. I'm trying to set up a desalination pump so I can have a clean well to drink from. I have it set up to pump from the south and have walls surrounding the output tile to keep the water in. This should work fine right? While all that sounds like really neato gee whiz propeller helmet stuff, and you definitely got the best outcome possible, doesn't a well automatically make water drinkable without any of that?

But dwarves will still drink it  e: I mean, I'm pretty sure I don't see thoughts about nasty water once a well is installed, but I haven't looked all that closely since the new version either so

Welp, my problem with the elven traders went away, because the game slowed to a crawl after that and then just crashed mere days before it would've turned to summer. Not that I'm complaining, because I'm hoping that my fram rate will go back up to ~30-40 when I start the game back up tonight instead of it being the 11 it was post seizure. I'm just pissed because I was almost done digging out, smoothing, furnishing, and designating 50 rooms for my dwarves on two levels. Why can't this game have monthly saves instead of seasonal?

Oh gilding is a thing now? Huh neat. There's a tribe of "hostile" reptile men down in the bottom layer of caverns, which - because trees are evil and this volcano is surrounded by glacier - is the only place I can let my grazers eat, but the reptile men are actually being bros and are just beating up every wild animal that spawns, so I'm getting gobs of free crundle meat.

Can somebody give a real quick rundown on how AutoLabor works? I'm tempted to become the laziest overseer for my next fort because I'm getting tired of turning off fishing for idiots and not having stuff happen because oh right nobody has that labor assigned even though they immigrated with the skill and stuff like that. DwarfTherapist is ok but I'm curious as to how an apathetic run would go.

The chain of events went something like this: I embarked on a terrifying glacier, I forgot to get rid of my starting animals so I butchered the mule and horse, then the hair (and ONLY the hair) of the dead animals animated, my furnace operator started fighting one and got an artery opened and bled out. The moral of the story: fun comes to those who ask for it.

DwarfTherapist is ok but I'm curious as to how an apathetic run would go. I just discovered that you have to change the autolabor settings to make all haulers construct buildings, as the default is to have just one dwarf minimum do it. That means all constructed walls (including, say, the big wall needed to keep Psawhn fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Mar 1, 2015 |

Anyone else's DF crashing pretty regularly with starter pack r4 or r5 of .24 ? It runs DFHack which I use for autolabor and things, but maybe that's causing instability?

I didn't start playing DF2014 until just the other day, waiting for bugs to get ironed out, so I couldn't tell you. Right now I'm having trouble getting any conflict at all to speak of. I started a world with 5x the normal amount of megabeasts and 3x the usual number of civilizations, but even with goblins listed as neighbors they haven't come to visit ~3 years in.

Produced wealth and your population are supposedly the only important factors, but I'm fairly sure your nearness to a hostile site is a big deal also. When I've embarked within 1-2 tiles of a necromancer's tower e.g. I'm getting full blown sieges as soon as I have enough population to qualify. I've actually gotten sieges sooner, like within six months, but apparently if your pop is too low, the siege appears and immediately disappears again It may be that tower siegers work differently from goblins though. e: Snokuzoddo the Blind Cave Ogre is chilling in my rudimentary dormitory/mess hall.

I'm well past the wealth cap, and wealth vs. population has historically been a situation where passing either counts just as well as both. Goblins were listed as nearer on the list than any neighbors except dwarves, and I've had visits from humans and elves already. It's also a 2x2 embark so it's not very likely an ambush could be creeping around the map undiscovered either.

What's a great way to waste a bunch of wood? Way back when I started this map, I stupidly designated the whole surface for autochopping and though I had canceled it by hitting the unmark command. It wasn't until just now that I noticed I have 9000 logs, and that's what's causing my frame rate to plummet.

While you're whittling training bolts, you might as well start burning it into wood ash. Fertilize every field, glaze every clay thing, make all glass clear, turn every last glob of lard into soap. Also give up coal mining for a while, if you haven't already grasped the magma.

For crops that cannot be farmed year-round, if you have any planted when their off season turns up, then their seeds go poof. This means e.g. if you have a crop that can't be farmed in winter, and you plant in autumn, those seeds are gonna get destroyed, so just plant them in spring/summer.

Well, actually ~OVER 9000~ logs might be causing some overhead, but turning it into 9000 fuel or 9000 masterwork beds isn't going to help that. I've also heard smashing stuff won't actually remove it from internal tracking either, so uh

I've also heard smashing stuff won't actually remove it from internal tracking either, so uh I'm planning on turning everything into wood tomorrow and selling it to the next caravan that comes by. Thankfully, I've already dealt with the elves for the year. I'm gonna continue making nothing but wood bolts, making charcoal with which to smelt brass bars, and making anything I can out of wood to sell as well. I also don't have the specific number, since I've just closed out my game, but I know I also have at least a few thousand stone/ore/bars sitting around as well. I've been smelting every ore on repeat up until now, and constantly churning out rock pots and crafts, but obviously I haven't been fast enough. It also doesn't help that my dwarves barely ever bring logs back to the stockpile, so I never noticed until I glanced at the stocks. What else could be causing the lag if not the items? I've had this fort going for 3 years now, and the lag only literally started today, in the middle of winter, just as the Elven caravan arrived. It did get a bit better after I successfully traded a few dozen crafts for some food and a few caged animals, which is why I'm leaning in the direction of there being too many items.

This is just how it goes for me with "green" aboveground biomes, except I don't usually make it 3 years. Also if you have 9000+ items, trading "a few dozen" really should not make any perceivable difference.
