Thank you for the quick and helpful response, it's greatly appreciated!

As for your future plans, let me be the first to say I'm really looking forward to them, and I don't know if I can wait! I think the two biggest things that stop people from getting into a game as awesome as DF are the crazy thirty-layer-deep interfaces, and the unfamiliar graphics. There are guides that explain the interface well, and it only really looks complicated, once you start to use it the interface is actually shockingly intuitive, so that just leaves graphics - which awesome people like you and Meph have been kind enough to make and share for free!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to future iterations of your pack, I'll be keeping an eye out for news!

Alright, thanks for the reply!

Hey there, I'm new to DF, just picked it up a few days ago now. I've been trying to give Masterwork a shot here, but I'm finding that I can't generate much in the way of history without crashing on save every single time. Anything more than about 150 years seems to instantly crash my game on save. I've tweaked a bunch of settings around and messed with World Gen a little, I'm wondering if other people are able to do more extensive histories, or if it's a known thing to crash when you do too much? Is there anything I can do or try for crashing instantly on saving? Are there known issues with Masterwork?

Similarly, I wanted to give Adventure mode a try, but it's been crashing 8/10 times when I go to start Adventure mode and it gets to the Calendar where it counts through till you reach the 15th. It'll get to day 2 - 4 then crash out. It's happened every single time on any worlds with over 50 years, and for worlds with 50 years it's been working a couple times for every dozen worlds I make. Are there known issues with Adventure mode? Or combinations of mods/tweaks I shouldn't use?

While I've been troubleshooting my issues I've come across lots of people saying to run LAA, I noticed that in the newest version of Masterwork (44.12) there's a button in Utilities for it, but it doesn't do anything. I'm assuming it means that's no longer needed, as all the posts on the subject were several years old? Or should I be downloading that separately and running it?

If someone that's got Masterwork running decently smoothly could share their settings, like a picture of each tab or something, that'd be amazing. This looks really cool, but I just can't seem to get it running well for me!

I'm running the game on my main Desktop which I updated a couple months ago, so I've got a new 3gb graphics card, Ryzen 7, 16gb of Ram, and an SSD - I've seen people say you can have problems when your computer isn't good enough to run it, but from my understanding that's more for people trying to run DF on an old laptop or something, thinking that because it's ASCII a potato can run it.

Any help would be much appreciated!
