Saves take (a lot) longer during .05?
« on: July 30, 2014, 06:32:53 am »

I am using the Starter Pack 40_05.rev2 with DF 40.05, and saves seem to take minutes now rather than 30 seconds and bam, you're done.

Did anything change with the save process?  I didn't see anything in the changelogs about it for either item...

I'm new to succession forts in general, yes, but do all forts designed by multiple overseers inevitably degenerate into a body-filled labyrinth of chaos and despair like this? Or is this just a Battlefailed thing?

There isn't much middle ground between killed-by-dragon and never-seen-by-dragon.

Is it the same fortress, or a different one?

If the same fortress, it's possible that your starter pack used a different default setting for COMPRESSED_SAVES.

If a different fortress, then it's probably because that world has more stuff in it (more sites, histfigs, historical events, etc.).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Different fortress, good catch.  Thanks.
