I hope you are joking, because I just posted where they are.

I am embarrassed. I'm in the actual Masterwork DF file. I don't see Repository or home.htm...

Rivers do have an effect on FPS eventually.

Try embarking on a site like my last, it was a major river with a smaller stream on a cliff leading to a waterfall into the river.

My fort ran at max speed for a while, but when I started getting huge FPS losses, I used DFhack to spawn magma to dam off the one end of the major river where the water flows off the map, and the waterfall too.

I regained like 75 fps.

Something funny happened in my fort today, though it's with the Masterwork mod.  I will explain for those who have never used it.

I purchased a Hellfire Landmine (A type of Pet used for defense, it blows up in a huge ball of fire when touched.  But they're very expensive) and it was still sitting in the Depot after the traders left, because I hadn't built the cage or made an animal stockpile yet.

A Grave Cat comes walking along and I get a notification that it opened the cage!  It attacks the landmine... And the cat, my Depot, and all the cloth and leather left inside get blown to smithereens. 

I was planning to put that somewhere else for defense.  And do you know what happens minutes after my landmine is gone?

Night creature shows up.

@wafflelordling: I need way more infos then that.

@michaelsoftman: Wildlife, or hostile units? They should shoot at megabeats, titans, invaders, ambushes, thieves... but leave animals alone.

Oh OK, that explains it.  There was a Gnoll on the bridge they were ignoring.

Actually, I tried again on a 2nd site, same situation.  Huge major river, embarked right on the ice as it's frozen in the winter, had a very small time limit to save my Dwarves.  This time I brought a ton of extra metal bars with me (cause why not) and I managed to dig a hole, build a platform out back to the wagon, deconstruct it, and place a floor under it, and RIGHT after I finish the floor, the river unfreezes and one of my miners goes swimming.

He's ok though.

Here's a screen.

I have been genning worlds to find a site that has a major river surrounded by extremely high cliffs.  I want to build a fort that's suspended over the river.

I FINALLY get one, and guess where my starting location is?  On the frozen river.  Which won't be frozen for long.

It would have been perfect too, the cliffs are straight up 11 z levels above the river, and there's a smaller waterfall.  But nooooo DF wants my Dwarves to die within a few minutes.

Back to genning worlds!

Few versions back, I used a bug to make a roast that was a stack of 1000 food items I think.

Was something like 35 million Dwarf Bucks.

Not sure if that would count, considering it's a bug.

I like embarking onto surface volcanoes.

It's by far the best thing ever.

Magma moat for the fort!
