That mosquito thing is definitely a bug.

If I was one for having a .sig, that (out of context) quote would be a prime candidate for my next one...

(Etymologists and entomologists alike: you are welcome to make the obvious ripostes about the order Hemiptera, but I still think it's funny.)

If the forum dies (it was being a little iffy earlier), I should have it turned on again in my afternoon.

Yeah, got a few 504s earlier, and then a "Maintenance login only"-type screen.  I reckoned that this place was being hit hard, though.

Many man-hours will be wasted, and many nerdgasms have been had. Praise Toady!

[Ross Vernal]

Welp.

SO much for the world I just genned last night!

[addictgamer]

Thank you Toady, you gave me an excuse to put all my projects on hold for a few days.

1/3 of the way to 1.0? I was under the impression that it's more of 1/5 of the way. Oh well, 1.0 is closer this way

OMG, why would you release this on Valentine's Day.  I realize love stinks and all that but really... do we need the divorce rate going any higher?

Is this version multithreaded? i'm getting equal usage on all 4 cores during worldgen, though total capacity usage is only maxing 27%. so its using 1/4th of all cores equally?

No, that's what normally happens for single-threaded apps unless you set core affinity so it all runs on one core.  (DF has had multithreaded rendering since v31, but the core of the game is still single-threaded)

Looks like i am not the only one having long wait time for world gen as compare to the other versions. Have been waiting for my world to generate for over an hour already.

[highwisdom]

pocket world with maxed everything else rendered in under a minute.
small sized w/ same params in maybe 5mins
now rendering a default setting world. 3mins have passed and only 130yrs genned. gah


system: intel quadcore 2.83ghz, 4gb ddr2 ram, win7x64

EDIT: ~9mins for default setting world gen

EDIT2: 70mins for large world with default params...190k hist figs, 170k dead, 2.2million events.

[monk12]

I am so very happy right now.

[LoSboccacc]

everyone on this pocket world has silver weaponry. I wonder if it's the only metal available on the map. needs research.

This is the nicest thing I ever got for Valentine's Day. Thank you so much, Toady!

[Bronze Dog]

Oh, yes! Just a couple weeks ago, I was starting to get worried when I realized how long it had been since the last update. I'm glad to see you're still hard at work, Toady.

Of course, I suspect I'm going to lose a fair bit of productivity I had planned today, constantly refreshing pages to learn more about what you've been doing.
