I forgot you could turn off weather. I always seemed to embark in areas that get tons of precipitation, so... stonesense? I think? the sound and music program, would constantly play rain and snowstorm sound effects. It got depressing for me after a while of that.

I forgot to set a sensible child limit before embark and now i have like 40 of the drat things. If i just wait a decade I'll get a bunch of haulers... I also miss the time when population didn't grow so fast through migrant waves. Well, it seemed like it anyway. I'm always at about 150 by end of the second year nowadays.

Thanks for that link to the current Toady immersion controversy. Depressing hilarity seems to have ensued. I am a fan.

I think with DFHack you can even do it from within the game, no save / edit / reload required.

So what's the best way to handle job optimization? I used to use Dwarf Therapist but no matter what settings i use it always just seems to want to make everyone a hauler. I swear it used to be easier but maybe I'm still just an idiot.

If you don't want to do any management just use DFHack's autolabor (or the labormanager version below).

Therapist has a labor manager where you specify rules and it applies them. But its way more complicated to use than autolabor/labormanager in DFHack (for me, at least).

I was talking about the optimizer inside Therapist. I should have been more clear. I seem to remember it being easier to use but apparently my memory is bad. Autolabor sounds like what i actually want. I didn't realize it was so in depth. Is there any kind of performance hit with it? I'm trying to make my fort pretty before my FPS gets too bad. I can not tolerate any slackers!!!

I haven't really used it on a large fort (I prefer to manage them myself), but it shouldn't be much of a performance hit (if at all).

As I recall Toady was very depressed during his grad school career (Maths, Stanford iirc) so he tried meth once.

Meth was mentioned in the NYT article and he elaborated that later (can't remember/find where). https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/magazine/the-brilliance-of-dwarf-fortress.html

It's also worth noting that very very few drugs are capable of causing full-blown addiction after only initial experimentation. Even the more notoriously addictive substances mainly have that reputation because the people getting hooked on them are usually stuck in the kinds of lovely circumstances that drive people to self-medicate anyway. "Tried meth, enjoyed it, and promptly never did it again" is still a funny anecdote though (and feels like a distinctly Toady anecdote, too, somehow). Just another wacky little detail spat out by the procedural story generator of life.

We're going to need a new overseer for the current succession LP in June. The fort, "Valleysilences" is built into the side of an evil volcano, has begun adamantine extraction, has two resident werepanthers, and is poised to become the dwarven capital in the next year. Please chime in if you'd like to keep these plates spinning.

How do I fix the "cancels drink: job item lost or destroyed" spam from dwarves spilling their drinks (and wasting dozens, or hundreds, of drink items?)

Is this from bar fights or something? Usually I only see drink cancellations from a dwarf grabbing and moving a barrel of drinks.

I noticed something in this week's  Valleysilences update where a mechanic ignored burrows to link a lever to a floodgate. I'm going to guess that the game only checked that the lever was inside the burrow and didn't care that the floodgate was outside of it.

You think the wait until the Steam release is long, wait until you hear about what he literally calls "The Big Wait" that's happening after that release.
