No axe or pick or fire-safe building materials at Castlebuds is making things interesting.
Thanks for the congrats.

[Timeless Bob]

Wooden training axes can cut down trees too.  Eventually you might get some miners to migrate, or you could trade extra booze to a caravan in return for some picks too, I suppose.  Also, I'm not sure but I think the aquifer still needs to be breached in Castlebuds.

Summery of events durng the spring and summer at Castlebuds.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Felsite, 2004
   No expeditionary leader or mayor.
   Our animals fighting with wildlife is common. For some reason we have no axe or pick. The only weapon at our site is a spear held by a hostile human spearman. whose reason hear is not know. Their are only five citizens currently running this wing of museum. Currently we have three hostiles at our site, Abla Dapencasot(human spearman), Etur Noramcog(dwarf broker), and Ral Zonidos(hammerer). Also there is one friendly, a dwarf merchant by the name of Bim Kokebkikrost.
   Without the ability to mine fire safe materials to build a wood burner and glass furnace we are now forced to build a trade depot in hopes of trading for a pick or blocks. Urist Usid has dropped off a bunch of specimens and meats and fats. Moving the meats and fats to the food stockpile is taking up most of our time.

Hematite, 2004
   The hostile spearman and broker are running around killing the wild dingoes that showed up. All five of the staff have claimed a bedrooms. Some of our staff have already admired our fine trade depot even though no one has lifted a finger to build it or design it.
Had to set up a refuse stockpile to put the rotting corpses and animal products into. the spinach leaf specimen that was submitted has gone missing. New submission will be needed to replace it. Depot has been designed. Waiting on carpentry. Drinks getting low. 3 blocks for display cases have been made this month. Depot finished.

Malachite, 2004
   Continuing to make wooden blocks for display cases. Slated herbivore livestock for slaughter to prevent the accidental feeding one of them plant specimens. Rhesus Macaques have shown up. Our local hostiles and friendly are fighting them. Our Chief Security Officer(Sheriff) Dumed Ingishzas is killed one of the Macaques that made it into the basement. New staff(migrants) have arrived; Tulon Shipweakened miner(did not come with pick), stray mule foal(slated for slaughter), Ustuth  Somas Carpenter, a pet peachick, pet piglet, Goden Idendural farmer, stray chick, pet keet, Avuz Kolshameb stonecrafter, Rimtar Erithbetan  miner(also did not come with pick), another pet piglet, Sigun Morulnakas tanner, pet ram(not slated for butcher, don't need owner going berserk), stray cavy pup(slated for slaughter), Ushat Uzoluvel weaponsmith, stray female kitten(slated for slaughter), and Thob Alathstizash trader. It also seems persimmon specimen has disappeared. Needs to be replaced. Culprit found, the chief medical dwarf Ingiz Vaboksobir is eating it. Given the nickname Specimen Eater as punishment. Roughly ten wooden blocks made for cases. Wood logs getting low.

Galena, 2004
   Chopping trees has began. Still waiting on a caravan to arrive to get glass production started. Unicorns have arrived. While waiting to get glass industry started have taken to expanding the third floor of the botanical wing of the museum and producing barrels and wooden blocks. All the non-pet herbivores have been slaughtered. The friendly dwarf merchant is dead. Reason as to death unknown. Roughly 30 wooden blocks in stock now.

Two specimens lost, spinach leaf and pesimmon fuit. Should have forbidden them right away.

Just unretired Tosid Bolttakers from pisskop's save file and the game is slowed down to zero FPS about ten moves in.  However, I'm wondering if its because all the wildlife is pathing from one "wing" to another, and we happen to have four of them all adjacent to each-other?  While the game's running at "0" FPS, it's not entirely frozen - it's just taking @15 seconds (timed using my handy egg-timer here) per square to complete the movement.  I'll be attempting to move Tosid off-site and into the wilds to see if FPS improves.  Regardless, he'll need to go retire somewhere else before Planesfortress can be played in "Fortress" mode. (To avoid the "adventurer on site" crash bug.)

It's possible, I suppose, but the FPS didn't increase when I turned all the unicorns and rhesus macques into clouds of pink fog.

I conversed with the hammerer who'd been a previous companion, but since the site claim was made, he didn't want anything to do with Tosid, so that's interesting too.  The game crashed soon after, so I never was able to get him away from the Museum grounds (I crossed through the middle into the other sites to see if that changed anything.  No love.)

You could try vaporising Tosid (dump lava on him with dfhack or something).

I would prefer you not, but if you must . . .

Im not sure its my adventurer thats causing the slowdown.  It was like that from the second I entered (genned into) the site, and has admittedly gotten worse

[Plancky]

Well I have gotton two crashed now in the middle of the month of limestone at Castlebuds. I am currently running it a third time, to see if it happens again before I make a bug report. My next earlier save is before I reclaimed Castlebuds right after my last adventuer, which looks like I will end up going to. Castlebuds runs at 9fps unpaused so this will be !!fun!!

[ptb_ptb]

We could try retiring a copy of the save and examining it with a legends viewer. See if there are 2,000 blind cave ogres in the caverns or something.

[Plancky]

Trying that now.

[pisskop]

If this all craps out, could we make four forts next to one another and abandon/retire them for wings?  Thats a population of 30 - ~100 staff members.  And plenty of space.

Sure (IMO). That was basically the initial plan. Although, if we can't recover the items from the previous museum it might be sensible to just start a new world. :/

Or regen the old world with same settings and seeds - at least we'd know our way around.

We could give four players the chance to make one wing each.

It isn't clear exactly what is causing the crashes / FPS drop but I would suggest all adventurers be started in a world-gen site fairly distant from any player fortress and retired to a world gen site also fairly distant from any player fortress.

Or we could grind our teeth and wait for DF to be less buggy. D:

An outcast is a foreigner or somebody else not officially part of a population/accepted by the site's group.  Not all outcasts are hostile outlaws.  Refugees?
