Pets are now considered citizens of the fort, and all of them need some kind of room to stay in. Pets of nobles need high-quality rooms, and will also implement mandates.

Interesting. Are you eventually going to implement the features from the unofficial LCS 4.07.0 version?

The absolute worst joke that I thought up and told to my "friends" back in my embarrassing "random" days:
A baby is born in a hospital.
The doctor asks the woman to give her child a name.
The woman responds, "Cheeseburger."
The doctor says, "Would you like fries with that?"
Yes, I thought that was hilarious.
I'm glad those days of shoehorning objects into arbitrary structures, and thinking that the result was good enough to show others, are over.

That, and DF seems to have some kind of obsession with generating thousands of tiny files in its worlds. It's a bit of a pain to transfer DF worlds despite their relatively small size.
Speaking of tiny files, what metric measures the number of 0-byte/very small files that can be read/written per second by a hard drive or other storage medium? After all, manufacturers seem entirely fine with reporting read/write speeds for a continuous stream of data, so what gives?

Today I was compressing my old DF installs in 'parallel' (manually started compressing each folder as fast as I could). The part that confused me was the fact that my CPU (Intel Core i5-4460 @ 3.20GHz, if that helps) refused to go any higher than like, 2.7GHz during this process, despite the fact that utilization went up to 90%. I play and store my DF installs on an external USB hard drive, since I do occasionally play DF on my laptop. Is there a reason for this?

I know nothing of DF modding, but methanol-induced blindness sounds like something entirely within the scope of the game, assuming that 'necrosis of both eyes' is a close enough approximation of 'destruction of the optic nerve'. I'd guess methanol-laced alcohol would just be alcohol with a negative quality level, with lower quality levels corresponding to increased amounts of methanol.

« on: February 07, 2019, 02:17:40 am »Perhaps to ensure 'stability' it'd be best to wrap up the whole folder and share that instead of the save itself.Probably need to play on vanila DF, or some very trimmed-down version of the LNP with only one tileset and as few of the utilities as possible just to get it to fit through the 500MB limit of DFFD, especially if playing on a large world with long pregenerated history. That, and backups probably need to be turned off or provided separately.
Extra info, probably useless:
- SDL Vanilla DF 0.44.12 takes up 13.3MB.
- LNP 0.44.12-r05 takes up 207MB.
- After some trimming, LNP 0.44.12-r05 takes up 115MB. This is with only Phoebus, Picturefort and Quickfort.
- It turns out that 7-Zip at Ultra is really good at compressing DF, at the cost of ~2.2GB of RAM used during compression. Vanilla: 9.51MB, LNP: 153MB, Trimmed LNP: 31.6MB

The next step would be to allow the player to cut alcohol with water (entirely different from selling non-alcoholic drinks, mind you) while exporting alcohol to dwarves. Doing this, and then going ahead with the trade causes them to declare permanent war on you. If your civ declares war on you for this reason, you are no longer eligible to get migrants, dwarves from your civ will attempt to kill any visitors in an attempt to stagnate your population growth and they will invade every month. Also, unless you have not razed every single fortress/hillock that belongs to your civ, you cannot retire your fortress, only abandon it. Iff you have destroyed your civ, you are now able to declare yourself as a new civ, with all the nobles that would imply.
To be honest, the last sentence sounds like something that could happen in worldgen.

Every time this occurs, an announcement "The dwarf Urist McOops has become {new_stress_level}!" is printed in magenta text, because that may as well be a death announcement in the current version.
But wait, there's more! For some reason, non-alcoholic drinks are the product of a dwarf with low (negative in a future version?) Brewing skill trying to brew drinks. The lower, the more likely. Anyone using DFhack's labormanager or autolabor is just screwed.
To push this firmly into 'terrible' territory, these non-alcoholic drinks cannot be sorted using a stockpile.
