If it's anything like the display, probably. It's easy enough to plan things out without having to build and link anything, especially now that I have a betting understanding on how timing and things work so modularity is pretty much a requirement if I want any degree of complexity.

Good lord >_<

So I was playing around with it for fun and trying to see how bad I can screw it up. Pulling all the levers at once will definately do it...

If you're anti-cheating and want to fix things without restarting there are two ways that I've found. One is simple, cut power to all the machinery (a lever a few levels below the windmills will do this), unlock the doors on the 2nd level of screwpumps (locked to keep dwarves from trying to clean themselves and accidently drowning in a logic bank or whatever) and manually pumping water out of all the activated pressure plates. This will reset everything back to normal.

The second way to do it is to pull the backspace or clear lever with the power still on and manually drain the active plates like before. Draining the plates will activate them again and could end up sending power to the pumps below and filling them back up, backspace and clear stops that.

got a solid 98-99 fps

I hate you 

FPS ok for anyone else who downloaded it? Any other issues?

No, after you pull a lever you pull it a second time as soon as it appears on the display regardless of the light to reset it. There's a delay when resetting the levers and that's what the lights are for. When it turns green again you can safely pull another lever. And that's basically it.

!!SCIENCE!!

What kind of witchcraft ‼SCIENCE‼ are you using to get 25 FPS with all that?

As in being that high? I think it's pretty slow myself, others will probably get a lot higher. While there are thousands of gears and pumps, very little is happening at any given time. Also the map is pretty small with a low population.

Urist McLeader- "Welcome to Doortufts! Make yourself comfortable."
Urist McImmigrant- "Ok... but why is everything crammed into this 10x10 room?"
Urist McLeader- "Oh yes... well, the thing is this is the only area not taken up by the AI's machinery. Also it won't let us go anywhere else... But it's quite cosy when you get used to it!"

All in favour of harvesting bloodbeard's brain and integrating it into an evil super computer?
Then we'd have AI's making AI's.

Urist Smith pic relevant again.

Who says that isn't what i'm doing here?

>_>

<_<

So I had the region file in another copy of DF to work on getting it ready for upload and I found out the hard way I forgot to turn off baby making. I got 3 new arrivals... so far.

While they may not be in the copy that will continue on making the AI it's something that I might need to think about later, depending on how long this fortress lasts. A great deal of the dwarves are 100+ years old. The youngest is a 23 year old female that was born in the 2nd year (another example of forgetting to put the protection setting on).

EDIT: Enter number 4 >_<

Glorious.

A note on speed - if you make an active record of something at an extremely slow FPS and load it up to the DFFD, it will appear to run much faster. Such a recording would show the clear lever functioning at a much, much faster speed.

Yep, after I put in the readiness indicator which will help me optimize typing speed i'll make a video of it working.
