My experience has been that the Linux build of DF is notably slower than the Windows or Mac builds, though. I even get better framerates running the Windows version under WINE than I did using the native Linux build.

So I should stick with Windows. Ok.

You should be looking at single core speed for the CPU

Can you explain? Right now I'm looking at an i7 haswell. Is there a better option?

As far as OSes go, I am definitely not a fan of Windows 8; any operating system that increases

I meant in terms of performance not functionality. For example, I hear one of the reasons that Steam is moving to Linux is because of increased graphical performance -- so if there is a better system to improve DF's performance, I'd like to know what it is.

Hi, I'm considering building a PC exclusively to play Dwarf Fortress better. What would I need to focus on?

*I don't think Graphic Cards are a top priority -- although one would need to be there to ensure the strain is less on the CPU.
*Focus should be on CPU/Memory, right?
*Windows 8?

If any techie could chime in, it'd be great. Thanks.

Is there any ETA on when Therapist will be working?

Yeah, it's not doing it now. The trees are falling and I'm getting tons more wood.

Did you change something?  Are you doing something intentionally different so they're not being injured?

In Lazy Newb Pack options, I took out 'cave ins' and made a new world. That might have something to do with it.

What was the level of the "wood cutter" skill on the dwarf who was chopping down the tree? Maybe novice or below can cause .... incidents?

He had no skill. I don't invest in skill points with my initial dwarves, I invest in personality points to make better nobles (like appraisal), and let them raise skills by using them extensively. I'll try it again just how I did before, and let's see what happens...

And now I forget how to issue orders without therapist. fuck.

I'll do it again. If I can replicate the issue, I'll take a screen (many screens)

I'm also not a fan of ascii, but I can tolerate it.

Lazynewb put in graphics in the newest version. Waiting on therapist.
