Building NPC Forts?
« on: March 20, 2013, 12:35:13 pm »

So I was thinking... is this possible?

You would play DF until you'd built the fortress to your liking, then abandon. You take another fortress and play that (if you're lucky or decide to hack, use a vampire in a secure room and leave the program idling) for a good 20 years or so then check the legends.
Would your fort be alive? I know that upon reclaim all the mud from caverns is gone, and farm plots are deconstructed. Does this happen upon reclaim or as you abandon?

I want to see what the computer would do with my fort...

This is in the works for the next update.  There is a workaround now using dfhack to change modes or something that at least does not abandon the fort but the AI does not continue doing anything with the fort.

It's faster to write "!!science!!" than any of the synonyms: "mad science", "dwarvern science", or "crimes against the laws of god and man".
