Bay 12 Games Forum

I got one of those "Some migrants have decided to brave this terrifying place knowing it may be their tomb" despite nothing that would remotely indicate it would be terrifying (okay, besides the fact that it is a terrifying biome (in name only... there's not even sliver barbs or glumprong, let alone undead or terrifying animals  ))

Also they all seem to be rather skilled military dwarves.  Though that might be deliberate if something is making them think the place is dangerous.  (Also this is the autumn wave; didn't get a summer one)

So really it's just that it's deciding it's more dangerous than it really is.  That or its detecting the terrifying biome while ignoring its lack of undead or otherwise hostile creatures.

Most of the problems with .13 can be avoided completely by importing a .12 world.  No sprawl.

Anyway, I haven't seen any increase in speed on my computer--which is admittedly slow so that doesn't mean much--and actually the first time I tried playing it had a massive decrease in speed.  But that seems to have gone away; I may have inadvertantly embarked on the hfs building or some such.

Dwarves breed by spores.  They don't need to be anywhere near each other to get pregnant...

Actually I think they'd cause booze to explode.

Anyway, a dwarven liver is 1.5 times the size of a human liver proportional to the rest of their body, according to the raws.

Anyway, the easiest (and probably simplistic and mild problem causing, but whatever) way to play a magma man civ is to change [CREATURE:DWARF] under [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] to [CREATURE:ELEMENTMAN_MAGMA]

...it might lead to problems with said exploding booze though.

Freezing/thawing is determined by whether a tile is "Above Ground" or "Subterranean," not whether it's "Outside" or "Inside." This seems to be a common misconception these days.

All right; I wasn't sure.

They're like nobles that don't issue mandates and nobody complains when an amusing unfortunate accident happens to!

Or if your being aztec dwarves, they'll help ensure the sun comes up.

(Though, do to being distracted, I haven't gotten that far in .13 yet... about how common are these unusable migrants?)

I thought the pump repeaters were pretty straitforward; moreso then the floodgate one.

That said, they aren't going to be easier to build.

Also I was under the impression that it only recalculated paths when a dwarf bumped into an obstruction, so unless you're routing your dwarves through the repeater, it shouldn't cause pathfinding lag--and even then it'd be minimal.

There may be other sorts of lag, though.
