Completed posession cuts fps to 1/3
« on: February 16, 2008, 02:15:00 pm »
A potash maker just recently got possessed, claimed a craftsdwarf's workshop, and quickly completed a felsite ring. The instant he was done, my fps dropped from the original 150 or so (I have the max turned up to 200 in the init) down to about 60 fps. After a couple of attempts to kill him, I used a spike/lever death closet. As soon as he died, my fps returned to about 150.

Dwarf had only (no prefix) potash maker and dabbling conversation skills.
Dwarf was set to Pump Operating, Food Hauling, Refuse Hauling, Furniture hauling as active jobs.
The workshop used for possession was in use by another dwarf creating rock crafts when it was claimed.
I am using v0.27.176.38a (newest), upgraded from the previous version. The fortress was originally created in the previous version.

Thanks for your continued work on a fantastic game Toady-one!

Update:

My carpenter just went into a strange mood and created a cage. Once again my fps dropped to about 60 as soon as he completed it.

Interesting.  I'll note it down and take a look.  It would be very fortunate if something silly were causing forts with many artifacts to go slowly, since it would be easy to fix.

Lucky you. 60 is still 3-4 times as fast as my average FPS.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

I have encountered this myself and even threw the creator in a magma pool after reading this thread.

At the start of the mood:FPS60
Artifact created(Obsidian earring with bands of obsidian):FPS18
New legendary stonecrafter tries out magma diving board:FPS60

Seems I can confirm it.

Another good reason to get rid of useless fey stonecrafters.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I can confirm this bug. It results from the artifact in question attempting to be claimed by it's "owner" - pathing issues result and CPU cycles appear to be burned massively.

Hopefully the Toad will look at this.

This bug was already fixed for version 38C: what version are you running?

Latest. Apparently it is less fixed then supposed. I experience massive issues with the military if I have artifact equipment. They go into a pathing trance and fail to mobilize.
