I think it's hilarious that you've found a river delta that just BARELY connects to the ocean at all. ^_________^

I was surprised to find one at all, actually. Every river/ocean embark before, it just went straight it. Was a surprising enough find, figured I'd post it :p

Well something messed up, seeing as the river source (delta?) is connected to the ocean it probably broke something.

... Deltas are where they flow into the ocean :p

Theyget the delta shape from all the sand silt and mud that builds up there that the river brings down with it...

You mean that river source? That's a river source, where rivers come from.

Source? I'm on the shore of an ocean, it's salt water partway back at the shore, then stagnant water, indicating it's stopped there, then it's high water at the map edge, not low water, indicating it's generating there, now flowing off the map...

I've embarked where rivers flow into the ocean before, it was just the weird way it spread out that I've not seen before. Thought it was kinda cool:p

Well this is certainly interesting... Embarked at the point a river ran into the ocean... Found this...

Up to 169 immigrants, needing to finish off the last block of bedrooms to accomodate them. So I order the manager to make 30 cabinets and 30 coffers.

I come back over later, start building... For some reason, not a single coffer.

Then I notice all the coffins in my stockpile.

I'm trying to imagine the dorf making these coffins...looking around...thinking... "Why in Armok's name is the manager having me crank out THIRTY coffins???  OOH! Break time! Off to the bottom of the rum barrel!!! ^,^"

LOLOL, I can just see the paranoia going around the fort, as everyone sees haulers carrying all these coffins to the stockpile, lolol.

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY COFFINS???? WHAT IS HE PLANNING??? lol

It is with the same civ, in the same world, in consecutive fortresses, and I'm willing to bet I could repeat the same thing with another fortress down the road.

Most likely. I bet if you look in the legends at that civ, it's a crazy ranger civ where everyone uses a crossbow;-)

« on: March 05, 2012, 05:16:52 pm »
Hmmm... good suggestions to try...

So... without looking too terribly stupid... Would 171 animals in a cage bring FPS down? lol.

I expected a single digit circus siege, was thinking of sending 100 war dogs down first to distract the HFS while my army moved into position down there. So I have a few dogs in a cage:p Along with a ton of turkeys, not that I need them... 3k drink, 1.8k lavish meals :p

Lol, irony, maybe I have too much alcohol :-D

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / What FPS is too low for you?
« on: March 05, 2012, 05:01:20 pm »
So I'm training an army to breach hell, I have a 146 z-level magma piston almost carved, and my fort of 200 179 is humming along nicely...

But the last couple years my fps has dropped dramatically. I started with a 200 cap so things zoom along, obviously that didn't last long, as expected. Now I'm down to 36 (28) fps. I tried removing the Phoebus graphic pack and going with the in-game graphics, 29 (25). Turned off in game graphics, went straight ASCII, 20 (18) FPS. Reinstalled Phoebus, back to 36 (28), so I'm leaving that in...

Anything else I can try?

At what point do you abandon due to low FPS?

What does the in parenthesis number mean? I'm thinking game fps (graphic fps), but I really don't know:p

Try embarking on a site with a river. From one fisherdwarf in three years, I now have OVER 9000 raw fish, hanging about. No barrels left, so I don't want to cook it in case it all rots.

... I thought it rotted if you DIDN'T cook it...

Why? Because they're cute that's why. Goats are all "baaah I have weird eyes and a beard. My name is Billy or Nanny" and ducks are all "quack I have terrifying genitals and although I am skinny I have delicious meat"

This is -------. It has flapping wings and is covered in feathers. Beware it's terrifying genitalia!

Ever seen ducks mate? Trust me, it's terrifying ;) male keeps knocking her out of the air until she stays down 0_0

1. Pigeons
2. Pigeons
3. Pigeons

Now want Toady to implement the flappy buggers. I want them to converge in feathered masses upon your outside storehouses and DEVOUR EVERYTHING

Including you FPS :P

My main problem is they kill so much  I had a fort of 100 dwarfs with 5 vamps  a dwarf a season was passing away!
Why don't they drain people a little but keep them alive but weakened?

Dracula didn't kill the poor girl straight away!

Lock em away from the start like i do. Never had a vamp death in current fort.
