I love this. In three pages we've gone from being willing to eat intelligent beings, to trying to make them *more* intelligent, so it will be more fun to eat them.

It means nothing, because the game is paused.  With an uncapped framerate and nothing to process, this isn't at all surprising.

Give it a minute to settle.  I can almost guarantee it won't stay that high for long, especially since it looks like it halved as soon as you unpaused.

That's funny, actually. I unpaused it, and it stayed at 4000 for a solid minute, then plummeted to a scant 22.

By the way, how do you increase fps? I cant live with 22 fps! I don't even have 200 dwarves yet!

The counter seems to lag behind the actual framerate. You don't get your dwarves moving at that FPS immediately after unpausing, but at their usual rate. It's just a display issue.

What's your site size, how many levels are there, and how much stuff do you have lying around? What was your framerate during the first few months of the fortress?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

I have about 13 levels of fortress, and I dug down to the caverns with a single staircase just to get the spores for indoor grass.

I have 1000 plants, and 2000 seeds. That might be the problem.

Also, about a thousand of all the stuff from weapons to footwear in the stocks screen.

As in, a thousand in each category. When I started the fort it was at the cap fps, which was 100/50.

To keep an almost steady framerate of 60-ish with 200 dwarves, disable temperature :/

I had less than 1 FPS at the end of my last fort in the 40d version, 22 FPS is pretty damn good by comparison.

the cap fps, which was 100/50.

Also lower your GFPS cap (how fast the screen updates) in the init file from 50 to 10 or 20, that can help boost your regular FPS (how fast time in the game runs).

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Holy Crap. That looks almost EXACTLY like the top of my current fort, except with mine the rivers at a bit of a angle, and your using a slight tile set, my bridges are different from tbat. But still, the resemblance, especially the big building in the middle, is striking. Except, I use that area for corpse storage.
