Hmm... Do you know of any way to blow a motherboard from software?

The command halt and catch fire is so well-known that AMC has actually named a TV series after it.

Updated to 1.8

This version provides a method to automatically install the worldgen parameters and enables automatic update.

About how often should a beetle hive be expected to produce a new beetle hive?  I can't build empty hives, so I assume they actually produce a new colony at some point.

[milo christiansen]

... Damn I can't remember, do they produce beetles? Wait I'll check.

OK, a quick look at the Lua code driving the beetle hive shows "math.random(1000) <= 1" is the "produce beetles" condition, where the "produce resin" condition is "math.random(100) <= 20". It looks like you will have to wait a while...

EDIT: Beetle hives are slow to get going, but once you have enough of them producing they are ridiculously OP. If it feels too slow at first buy more beetle colonies.

Small request:  If you could, adding a small marker to each reaction showing which material the furniture/crafts/etc will be made of might be useful, mostly for job management through the new manager system.  As it is, I have six identical 'Hive' jobs, so if I want to order say, 20 wooden hives, I don't know which of those to use in the management screen.

This mod is more-or-less abandoned (I won't be working on it for the foreseeable future). If anyone else want to take it over that's fine, but I simply don't have the time to manage multiple large mods.

About the manger: What I do is queue manager jobs at specific workshops, that generally filters it down to one material (AFAIK queueing a manager job at a specific workshop filters the list to only include jobs that can be done at that workshop). I don't use the manager much...

"On hiatus" sounds a bit less hopeless than "abandoned."

[milo christiansen]

"On hiatus" implies I may start working n it again. Sorry, but that is incredibly unlikely. Right now I want to get more into low-level bare-metal programming, not modding.

Over the last week I spent 6 days working on reverse engineering a binary data format, and part of one day trying to get chaos cults working for Underhive Settlement. I simply don't have time for much DF stuff any more. I'll continue to maintain Rubble and finish Underhive Settlement, but anything else is canceled for the foreseeable future.

My Machine Shop q menu is blank for orders. Any ideas what's up?

[milo christiansen]

A bit late, I don't hang around here like I used to :/

No, I don't know what the issue could be. Is the DFHack console displaying any errors?
