This has happened to me before.

I'm working on a great fortress (It never actually sucks, oddly) when the game crashes. I shrug- It's in alpha, after all- and start it again.

Then it crashes.

Again and again.

To the point where I can't finish the season without it freezing up.

Waiting apparently doesn't work.

See what does.

Almost always there's a very specific cause to the crash. In fort mode, you can pause and analyze the situation.

For many people now, an incoming human caravan causes crashes.

In one of my forts, the culprit is the Sew Plant fiber images task.

Look around. Disable all jobs and see what happens. It should be possible to find the problem.

But the thing is, I've DONE all my tasks before. Nothing new.

Generally, here's what's going on:

Well is being constructed
River is filling channel in the summer, evaporating partially while doing so
Farms. Lots and lots of farms
Making iron bars
Bone/stone crafts
Making a millstone
Making a windmill

...All of which I've done before.

Aah...

Building the well over DRY land looks like it is crashing the game.

In the past, it was always over water... Except the other times it crashed.
