What, you don't know that you can adjust game speed? How can you play . Check hotkeys.

[Pokon]

Fun fact: Robots+Fire-spewing geckos= doom of a ghoul fort.


Which is actualy a lie. You see, there were a few (ghouls) down in the caverns, and surprisingly few died from the fire proper, but most of the ghouls who had friends with the non-workers (I like to keep my settlements seperate, in case of things like this) went utterly nutso. In the end, a quarter of a 70+fort ends up with a bad case of the crazys, and the only reason I did not abandon right there is because I modded ghouls to be immune to the radioactive biomes effects.

[Deon]

Oh, you've made a ghoul fortress? Sweet. It's a really nice theme if you have imagination and make some additions. I was thinking about making radioactive rain/clouds into healing material for ghouls, nice idea.

[Asra]

Deon, how exactly does someone increase the FPS limit from the hot keys menu?

Is there something I'm missing with this?

Also just had my first encounter with Night Gaunts, so here's hoping that more Lovecraftian monsters decide to attack me on the South Pole! Also I just found out that my civilization's symbol is apparently two dead children.

I've looked through the hotkeys and have no idea how to change game speed with them.... help?

[Deon]

The hotkeys are defined through esc menu, don't tell me you don't set up macros too, how hard it must be to play df without :O. Normally it's "alt" + "="/"-" (to the right of numbers) to increase/decrease fps limit.

[Asra]

Thanks Deon. You have no idea how helpful that is. Seriously I didn't know that was even an option on DF. I assumed everyone else was just running on super computers.

Also as for Replicants. Do they suffer from the Vampire hunger issue where they eventually become slower and slower as time goes on?

(Also his deity seems to have made a dozen Replicants and a few infected so I'm fairly sure he's a Replicant)

[kilakan]

nope I've honestly in my years of playing never set up a macro
Guess I should now though...

[TastyMints]

Forgive me if it's for fortress mode balancing purposes but aren't default super mutant populations a little excessive right now?

Population maximum is 10,000 for supermutants, which is rather significant. Especially considering cannibals are much fewer in number.

[JediaKyrol]

@Asra Man that guy got around...he was even the leader of a group for a while.  ...They should starve like vampires if they don't drink blood...also they become sterile...but then they don't eat, drink,sleep,or care if you kill their families.  So same tactic as with Vampires...put them in a pit with levers tied to your important doors/bridges/traps and drop a caged peasant in there when they slow down a bit.

[kilakan]

Do replicates spread like vampires, aka through blood?  Cause I just had my security chief execute one and when I wasn't paying attention he went and washed off all the blood into the well....

[JediaKyrol]

yep... they have bite and blood contact.  I think Vault Dwellers with the Immune or Super-human castes can't be infected, but everyone else is in trouble.

Do you want sieges to stop when you kill a few generals?

Well if that's your only water supply you're going to have a lot of replicants on your hands.

( I wonder how many peasants it would take annually to feed a fort of 53 replicants?)

[JediaKyrol]

Well...I was working on adding Borderlands 2 -LDR bots...but noticed that functionally, they are identical to Protectrons.  We already have so many robots to begin with so scrap that idea.  D3TH-TP turned out to be a monster...(flying, fast, super-sharp claws, plasma cannons...blargh)  so we'll just let him sit with the other megabeast robots for now...

Oh, Deon, did you get that resent cleaned robots file?  sorry the first one was broken...
