It is the 6th of granite, this is incredibly slow. Nothing has happened.

[Fleeting Frames]

Incredibly slow FPS, or does it take hours to get past the initial 2-week embark period?

[Imic]

Nope, just slow fps.

[Imic]

I cannot play this. Something is wrong.
I have been playing this for an hour now.
I have gotten through three in - game days.
I cannot play this.

...In comparison, Goatmaan's nearly 1000-dwarf fort had one in-game day take 7 minutes and 12 seconds, iirc.

Of course, playing is more about designating, but still, wtf. Checking the save on 43.05 vanilla (hope no save-breaking mods)....

...Loading it up takes something like 1-2 minutes - this is the largest fortress in disk space and RAM I've seen, taking up 1,9 GB RSS and 2,5 VM-Size when loaded.

FPS seems initially much greater than what you reported; 17-20 when loading the fort, but can certainly be improved. Takes me 5 minutes to reach 6th Granite on opening screen. My first thought is about somebody setting doors to be pet-impassable...

Well, rooms are huge. Huge pastures here, though beautiful microcline stars.


I don't need to speak about main fort dug out by "make gloomdiamonds great" efforts, but there are also yuge unwalled quarries on z99, for instance.

And..Aha! There are lot of pet-impassable(tightly closed) doors with pets pastured inside.

Mostly on z124, such as Elk birds:


Rhinos




A whole horde of cats


Hm, what else...Ah yeah. Max™ has been complaining in FotF that these rampways

Make worldgen forts have the lag of cities ten times their size.

Changing all the doors of the above to forbidden pet-passable helped boost FPS to for me to 22. Less than expected, hm.

There are also no traffic designations in the hallways, so that could also improve FPS by another 10-20%.

I guess there's also lot of animals(160, 19 caged/chained) and guests/others(129, 29 caged). All in all, could be worse.

Including, funnily, a flashing elf with Great skill in lying (and bunch of others, but none legendary):



Well, I hope this helps.

[scourge728]

you can't set an elk bird door to be forbidden, they lay eggs

[Fleeting Frames]

...Not sure if they had nestboxes there, but didn't catch any in picture. They're not on them currently, that's for sure, so if there was some elk bird breeding plan mayhaps it failed.

Plus, the standard method of egglayer breeding has forbidden doors to prevent dwarves carrying the eggs to stockpile right away. Elk birds might starve, though; the 1 square they're sitting upon probs isn't enough.

[scourge728]

I'm saying if you want egg food

... And so, we are very sad to announce that Imic II, our overseer, has stepped down due to illness. He is also suspected to be off his rocker, since he said something about history folding in on him, and everything being too slow. So, NEXT!

Ryukan, why the carp did you make such a big world. Small would have been fine.

[TheImmortalRyukan]

I made a big world so we could use it in a succession game. Duh.

Actually I don't know... force of habit for me.

Anywho....

MWAHAHAHAHA

In Undurak

"Sorry boys. I'll be back in a year. No seriously, but duty calls me." Ryukan apologized as he stepped over the sleeping guards, "I swear I'll be back to stand trial for whatever slights you have against me."

Ryukan said a few words and vanished.

In Gloomdiamonds

Airith was sitting down reading a book on her break when Ryukan appeared before her in a cloud of smoke. He bent over coughing, "Why do these inter-dimensional teleportation spells have to be so taxing?"

"Hey master?" Airith inquired, "I thought you were in captivity of that Paladin?"

"Yeah, but I heard the current overseer stepped down, so now I'm in command." He grinned, "Well, time to execute our 'Plan'."

They both walked out of the room at a brisk pace, and as they walked, Ryukan snapped his fingers and the Rutile hat appeared on his head. Laughter was heard throughout the fort that day.

[Imic]

You're now on parole. You get one gloomdiamond year, and then we're actually getting down to business.

[TheImmortalRyukan]

Ok, little troubleshooting here.

I downloaded the save and put it in the save file, same old same old right?

Well it doesn't appear in-game. I looked and the save file isn't inside of another file.

What do I do?

(Honestly never had this problem before)

[MoonyTheHuman]

I'd like a dwarfing ^_^ a Dwarven Mechanic. Liking any kind of soap (I think that's possible?) is a bonus.

This has been a re-occurring problem I've noticed. are you putting it in 43.03 or 43.05
