Did you generate the world in 34.02?

I thought removing the flier tag would make them go splat.  No such luck for me.  Even removing them wholly doesn't rid them I have to gen a new world I guess. :-X

I'm having the same problem.  I definitely generated this world in .02, and my giant mosquito raws have [POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30], yet I still have 142 of them flying around and harassing my goats.

Same as well, only gotten one flock of giant mosquitos, but there were 149 of them and it took them a Loooooong time to fly off the map.  They left in like sets of 3-5 at a time.

No, he said-

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Giant Mosquitos are the new Carp/ King of Beasts. Let's just accept that and take them as our new, flying overlords. Maybe it would be good to build an open-air sacrificial temple, where a prisoner could be chained up and left to be consumed by the buggers.

I suppose I'll keep using my rare animalpeople/solo giant creatures mod, then.

I thought this was a little weird too. I just generated a new world on a brand-new downloaded .34.02 and after a few hours, have 191 Giant Mosquitos ... and one Giant Toad under 'Others'. These buggers just don't seem to be going away, either. This is worse than any Goblin seige I've seen.

No, it's not possible.
It's very likely corrupted, and to save the tracker managers, myself and most players a continued world of pain, I've disallowed the loading of 0.34.01 saves into 0.34.02 across the board.  I don't like to break save compatibility, and haven't done it often, but I think it is for the best this time.

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

I removed them wholly from the raws and am going to start a new world and see what that does.
