can someone tell me if the building destroyer functionality was changed from previous versions?

does it still wear out built furniture until they're destroyed, or does it work differently now and show destroyed buildings in announcements?

i tried that using Notepad++'s search within directory function and it didn't turn up anything i tried.

as an update, today ogres during an invasion did end up destroying 1 door and hatch, and a tantruming dwarf managed to topple 2 workshops and a lever. (in a previous fortress in the same world i've never seen anything toppled).

all of these events showed in announcements such as "building was destroyed/toppled". but i remember in previous versions the object would simply become worn until it was completely destroyed.

was the building destroyer system changed perhaps? i only thought it wasnt working because the furniture wasn't being worn out like in previous versions. have to investigate more by looking into forgotten beast data in my save, because right now i'm trapping them with doors alone, maybe they're able to destroy buildings but just don't do it?

hey, thanks for the reply

it isn't overwriting my save file that's the problem. It's that i can't find what i changed in order to change it back. I only remember it was either a destroy building interaction or building HP itself. it appeared to be a global value so i think it would apply to existing entities if i could only find it.

asking here in case anyone else was also looking through the raws in details and came upon the variable themselves so i know where to look for it

in one of the game files (i don't remember which and can't find it) i changed the topple (or was it bash?) interaction damage to be less in an attempt to get building destroyers to destroy buildings slower.

Now building destroyers in my game are unable to destroy buildings at all. This has reduced the amount of FUN considerably.

i know it is this variable that's causing it because even procedurally generated creatures can't destroy buildings and it's messing with their pathing.

I tried looking through all raws, interactions, and init files that were recently changed but i can't seem to find the original thing i changed.

much appreciated if anyone can tell me where i have to find the variables i have to change to reverse this. My save is not compressed so i can also copy the changes into my save file to salvage my current world.
