Removing items the same way is asking for trouble. DF's code base is big, there's still plenty of stuff not understood and removing some random objects can lead to undefined behavior.

Are you saying autodump destroy is not as good as atomsmashing?
Thanks for dfhack btw

It actually sets a flag on those items that makes the game destroy them. Question is: does it have the same problems? It's certainly better than this though:

Code: [Select]

delete(itemPtr);

Actually, that raises a good question: Do you know how that game-destruction code works, by any chance?

That could give me some better insight into how to test this thing.

I'm currently experimenting on whether or not atom-smashing actually properly cleans up after itself, but I'm thinking of trying trading objects away on caravans, magma-dumping, and obsidian-casting to see what effect those tricks have later.

Knowing what I can about how the game cleans up these pieces of data would help me stress-test possible weaknesses.

I did recently run afoul of a glitched mod that created 150 bars of metal in a reaction, rather than one.  Before I knew it, I had over 15,000 bars cluttering a single workshop, and my frame rate had dropped sharply. 

Autodump destroy didn't work until the workshop was deconstructed, but my frame rate went back up after the destruction.  I don't know if it recovered entirely but it improved for certain.  Autodump destruction is definitely preferable to letting the items sit around indefinitely.

Butchering forgotten beasts seems to cause jittery FPS (as in it's fast, but not smooth). It's happened to me twice already, and my FPS became smooth again the very second I atomsmashed all the products that the FBs gave me (meat, leather, tallow etc)
