So i have 200 giant mosquitos...
« on: February 26, 2012, 06:27:43 am »
They are pretty much swarming the place, and this is a young fort so i have not got a magma rain mechanism yet. I am trying to get a single marksdwarf ready to shoot some down, but this is really destroying my FPS.

What do? Is this even normal?

More fun, cut/paste a non-flyer into the creature's definition in your save, reload, and watch them all crash to the ground.

Or just remove their flier tag when they're in the air. And watch them crash and burn.

It's more fun to suddenly turn them into donkey's and have dead plummeting donkey guts everywhere.

I tried that, and the little shits kept flying around like it ain't a thing.

Did you edit the copy of the raws inside the save folder?

The truly amazing thing for me here is that a 6 page thread can be created of exceedingly high quality, simply because a group of manic depressive, schizophrenic midgets were able to milk a cow.

Gods.  I edited the main raws.  Bah.  I didn't even think of that; will do so. Thanks!
