Corrupt Save File
« on: May 31, 2011, 09:13:57 am »

I have a world that I've been doing good on, but when I tried to load it like 2 mins ago, it said "One of the compressed files on disk has errors in it." Is there any way I can manually abandon my fortress without having to delete it?

if there's lots of g's and z's, it's gobbo. If you don't really recognize it, it's human. if it's called Urist, it's dwarf.

If it has errors and you have no backups there's not a lot to be done.

You never know when you might need a berserk dwarf to set loose somewhere.

You asked, got an answer. There's not much else to be done. If you have no backups, that's all there is to it.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.
