Only in DF can you have a group of people get together to discuss the most efficient way to slaughter 40 children while leaving no witnesses. And someone was just wondering why DF isn't available on Steam...

For the record, I couldn't be more proud of you guys. *tear*

[chewie]

Do vampires feed on children? You could make a burrow that covers all the kids bedrooms and assign a vampire to it (or maybe the kids too?). Plus point if you make all walls out of glass so there are as many witnesses as possible so you also get rid of the vamp.

[caddybear]

Glass walls are opaque.( or so I'm told ) You'd need windows.

Whats the consensus on the children themselves being witness as they are being atomsmashed? Possible problem?

Is there like a master guide on improving FPS? You'd think it had it's own chapter on atomsmashing dwarf babies.

The only possible answer to the title of this thread is:

"Yes"

vampires don't obey burrows for their feeding

also, I've been atomsmashing items in a fort for ig years now and my fps is keeping at around 40. Normally it would be somewhere at 15 by now, or lower

You could however make bedrooms and assign them only to the children, and let the others sleep in a dormitory in the middle of your meeting hall. To test how clever vampires are when selecting victims.

With the new minecarts, you could make a public safety film about the dangers of children playing on railways.  Create a long thin hall with a track down it, burrow the children in there, launch a cart at very high speed down the hall.

...When the robots of the future want to streamline their mass human killing processes, they will look to this thread, and this forum in general. 

[Fusty]

Get 40 slabs ready, and maybe build a couple extra craftdwarfs' shops to speed up the engraving once the deed is done.

Children aren't a huge burden to the fort. They spend most of their time doing nothing, and don't contribute greatly to pathing calculations. You'd be better off with a vegan fort.

Last I heard, turning off temperature has a massive effect on FPS, though you lose magma fun.

[Garath]

and freezing fun

[GhostDwemer]

Turning off temperatures gives me an extra 10-15 FPS. Atom smashing does not contribute to FPS lag. NW_Kohaku's FPS thread spread so much misinformation, it's not even funny. I mean, if you followed the thread to the end, he finally admits all his theories are wrong (any computer programmer could have told you that from the get-go), but most people just took his initial suppositions as carved-in-stone truth. He should have put "I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT LAG" in the very first post, so people wouldn't get so confused.

To commit mass infanticide,
or not to commit mass infanticide:
That is the question.
