Incidentally, one of these "turns" of yours is called a frame.

I don't know about Vista, but on XP you can assign affinities to processes from the task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del).

According to Wiktionary, "A richly coloured form of golden beryl found in southwest Africa"

Which brings us here. So it's a mineral.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: No Invasion in .ini .... question

Seeing as how weather and temperature can be turned back on too, I don't see why invasions couldn't.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Channels = memory leak/lag?
« on: September 03, 2007, 01:57:00 pm »
Ah, apologies, I misunderstood. Yes indeed if there's a huge maze of (empty) channels, the pathfinding might slow down.

Do you experience this lag constantly, or at specific times? (channels full vs empty, looking at the channels vs not looking, etc.)

Fluids don't use A*, it is a floodfill algorithm. But it should only lag when water is moving, not after it has filled every possible channel.

For places like that, I always put double-doors. No pets can get through two rows of doors.

≈ is an unplanted farm plot; = is a planted one.

Silver and gems go to their corresponding stockpiles if you have them, and your dwarfs have ore hauling enabled.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Garbage problem

Hauling all that stone is somewhat wasted work. Just leave it where it is. Make blocks and store 'em in bins, and/or train siege operators with catapults. Use them to build traps.

Having stairs near one well would be best, as then they'd go to that set of stairs and straight up/down to the well.</STRONG>

I knew dwarfs were retarded, but I didn't realize they were that retarded. Thanks. I'll settle for a single well then.

DF Gameplay Questions / Stacked wells

I remember some faint discussion on the future of the fortress thread about it, but can't find much info.

Can you build more than one well on the same tile on different Z levels?

I heard talk about cave-ins actually punching through floors. Perhaps that overwrites the aquifer flag.

That's clever, I'm gonna try that if I end up starting on one.
