So, I was using Masterwork mod and was using the LegendsViewer mod for it

And I found a cave with this pop:
30000 Giant Cave Swallows
30000 Bats
30000 Cave Fireflys
5 Gremlins

So I thought.... What a horrible place to embark

So I embarked directly ontop of it
I dug straight down and froze and crashed upon arrival.
Even if I didnt freeze, How would one cope withe that many creatures?
And how would you react to a cave like that in your fort...

Edit: Its name was Rawnesshollowed

I'm pretty sure those that you linked are all Vermin - like bugs on the surface. I don't think they'll be a big problem. They'll disappear and reappear. They do have large populations though.

The giant cave swallows are not vermin...
They hurt alot

[acetech09]

Oh. Didn't see the 'giant' part.

Jesus.

I'm pretty sure the animal cap only limits 50 or so to a species. Are you sure they aren't just 'cave swallows'?

Your dwarves will get meat, tallow and bones for several years, nice choose. Also you can catch them, tame and train for war.

Sounds like your mod has a mosquito bug.

Involves a lot of saving and reloading.

Remove the [FLIER] tag from them, watch them plummet to the cavern floor.
Reinstate the [FLIER] tag, let the survivors get off the cavern floor again.
Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

Cavern floor now pasted with messy bits.  Once the miasma monsoon clears, you'll have gobdiculous amounts of bone!!

The 30k giant cave swallows aren't all loaded at once. Probably.

Remember the mosquitos?!

[GreatWyrmGold]

That's because mosquitoes were set to spawn in swarms of 100+, and giant mosquitoes did the same. Giant cave swallows haven't been reported as having the same kind of problem, and I think they might have been made completely separately, without creature variations.

Also, cave swallows don't spawn in flocks of 30,000.

Not vanilla ones.

What specs are needed to run this save?

What specs are needed to run this save?

Bumhacking Windows to disable the RAM limit for individual programs, and speedy 64gb RAM and 15ghz processor designed by a god. In other words; you won't.
