Hey - It seems like everytime when I try to reclaim a Fort that I have previously abandoned the lag I get in the fortress is way worse than it was before I abandoned the fortress.

I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this problem and maybe has any tips to fix the fps after doing a site reclaim

How long have you been running those reclaims? Also, how old forts have you been reclaiming?

Thousands of items littered all over the site will cause the most of lag, I presume. There may also be hidden units, like FB:s and ghosts. Reclaims should run at about same speed as the normal forts after you have stockpiled everything and burned down useless crap.

If reclaiming has a considerably more lag than normal fort, you could always try to change game mode with DFHack. "Mode"- command will make it possible to change between arena, adventure, fort and reclaim. You could try to change your reclaim into normal fortress mode after an initial reclaiming, and see if it helps.

This is cause by (if I remember correctly) a bug where the region population numbers get doubled, or something like that any way...

Reclaim is bugged and has been for some time, that is why I will generally DFHack my fort too keep it from falling if I would normally reclaim, that way I skip all the bugs

Its happened a few times where i've run into this problem - its significantly laggier than when I abandoned the fort.
In my most recent fort Its running at about 50 fps and it was running at about 130+ fps before the abandon I used DF hack to autodump all of the items into the fort into a quantum stockpile and it doesnt seem to help. -- Ill try changing the mode and see if that helps at all.

I do run DF hack when I play - do you know of any commands/plugins that can help with the entity population problem? This is probably what is causing the problem in the fort because I ran a few reclaims to try and clear out some of the baddies so the entity pop might have doubled a few times lol.

edit: grammar

I have no idea. Ask in the DFHack thread in the utilities subforum of the modding forum.

Maybe the "fix/dead-units" script?
