Bay 12 Games Forum

In unzipping the tarball, I got a bunch of warnings about timestamps for the files being in the future. A small sample:

[noparse]

Code: [Select]

[/noparse]

This is likely just because the VM's timezone or date/time was set incorrectly. I have yet to run DF, but I don't think it will harm actually running it.

irrelevant now, but probably the result of the linux VM setting UTC based on timezone-adjusted windows time.

also just tested creating a world and starting a fort in it and everything went smoothly

5/12 artifacts have been grates, so far. This calls for a really fucking pretty magma landmine and fountain set, I think.

My dwarves keep putting candy thread in the hospital, despite the fact that the extractor workshop is linked via exclusively giving/taking stockpiles to the smelter for making wafers. Does anyone know if there's a way to keep them from taking my precious blue thread or am I just perpetually going to need to dump and reclaim this shit?

Thinking about clearing out the second cavern's rutherer population, but worried about them all reanimating. Is there any way to make sure the corpses will be removed soon enough after my military kills them? (the only reason I'm killing them is because I think the fuckers are hurting my fps)

In the process of digging up my adamantine spire, ran into the third cavern layer feat. a lake. So that vein (my best) is currently on hold while I figure out how to get someone down there to (a) stopper the hole into the cavern, and (b) dig a drain into the smr for all the water...

Something with deadly dust showed up, so I just closed that cavern layer for now. We don't have the dwarfpower for cannon fodder at 25 dwarves, unfortunately.

Also trying to figure out what's keeping fps down. Fairly certain it's just the additional pathing demands of the fort getting bigger, but quite annoyed about that. Hopefully once the citadel and the magma renovations are done we'll get back up to 100.

Well, now that I've finally finished obsidian-ing off the caldera so construction can commence on the sub-caldera passage and magma pipes, I've realized that I might actually be better off, um, not doing it this way. Considering channeling out the top five or so levels of the citadel that have already been cast and redesigning them, and then just working with a (easier to manage) artificial caldera so I can use the whole space of the original one for maintenance access.

Also, finally got the queen to marry my other axelord (she's an axe, uh, lady). No one is really friends in the fort because I only have twenty five or so dwarves, so everyone is always working instead of socializing. But enforced flirting appears to have worked wonders.

A little too late, but I think DFHack command "fix/loyaltycascade" fixes loyalty cascades, according to the wiki.

Also, I don't think DF crashes with weapon traps, but that might be just me. Man, I know it's so sophisticated and all, and that Toady needs sleep, but sometimes I wish DF could be more stable when it comes to things like creatures jumping through fortifications.

Df seems to crash when weapons in weapon traps break after wearing out, so it won't happen right away.

So any suggestions for what kind of traps to use that won't crash the game? (Sans cage traps, since I still want a fight.)

Can't go wrong with upright spikes linked to levers on endless repeat. Failing that, stone traps loaded with, say, cinnabar ought to do a number on invaders.

Do upright spikes not experience wear/cause crashes?

In other news the local bear population has a bit of an alcohol problem:

A masterwork bucket. *facepalms*


In other news, I'm starting up a fort in a modded game.

Archfortress in the beginnings of the world.

Game says it's Spring, but I look at the screen. There is snow. Maybe it's because I haven't unpaused it yet...

Buckets were all being melted to train up my blacksmith lol

And it's probably just a cold biome some never go above freezing
