Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

Everyone's computers are bad enough that we can't weather? 

The blood rain was one of the funnest bits...

I'd say the biggest culprit in the new game is still those friggin' trees (though I don't think they're as bad as they were). I had a 40.x fort in a goop-raining evil biome and my junkputer still tanked through it pretty fine (at least until I tried emptying the ocean into a cavern layer). Also I think spiderwebs can get a bit out of hand (my current fort has something like 1200 webs in the caverns, which... can't be good).

E: To clarify, I think we can survive with weather, particularly if it's just a mist instead of poison rain.

Every time it's my turn at Doomforests, I autodump destroy 8-10 thousand cave spider webs.

Damn. Does it help?

Some recent research shows that large numbers of items have a *huge* effect on FPS, and pathfinding is not nearly the problem it was long thought to be (although it is still a problem, particularly creatures trying to path to an unreachable location).

Deleting unnecessary items is, AFAIK, currently the best known way to increase FPS.

To confirm, download a large succession fort and delete all items that are not in some way important, then check results.

Frankly, I support use of DFhack to clear out junk.

[Aseaheru]

If by "clear out junk" you mean "confiscate it from the owners and sell it to gullible merchants", I support this aswell.

[Splint]

The main things will be excess items and item-spatter from the trees. Tacking on constant contamination via rains or clouds and it would be horrendous.

And you can't throw things into the mod without someone knowing. Guess who gets to have first poke of the raws going in. 

At any rate, Surprise meant the surroundings.

[Aseaheru]

So long as there is some sort of metal and no aquifer, Im fine with wherever.

[Amperzand]

Indeed, I would prefer there be a considerable variety of metals, but I have little other concern.

[The Master]

My goal with the new fort is to make Aseaheru cry twice as hard as he did way back when. Nothing else matters besides the suffering of others.

[Lolfail0009]

If you make Asea cry twice as hard does that mean I get twice the space in your sig from making twice the posts about it? :3~<

That's the plan.

Oh my.
