It must be some dfhack scripts too. I've heard about this slowdown which you can fix by reloading the game in DFHack thread.

Sorry for the lack of updates btw, I'm out of PC-fixing jobs so I had to work shitty jobs like a janitor at local fastfood, a cargo hauler, a shop guard etc. for a while .
I need to earn a sum for a very good reason (I hope so). A few board games I was looking forward to has been released in russian language recently (Andor, Hobbit, a few others) and I promised my son to buy them asap . So it may be a little bit longer with days/nights at work, but then I will be back at full-scale modding again.

[Putnam]

Hmm.

Maybe it has something to do with itemsyndrome, based on the symptoms. For now, I'll just see if I can do some run-of-the-mill optimizing.

[Ivan Issaccs]

Indeed, I've gone from 150 fps with 50 pop to 60 fps with 20.

[Deon]

Did reloading fix it?

[Geneoce]

Confirmed on the reloading fix

Back to building. That was very intolerable for awhile!

lack of updates means I can continue scruggling to get old scripts to work so you can have a warp stone that summons low level mooks to murder. or what ever.

I am enjoying this mod. I have a couple of observations, comments, and questions.

Bug - when I built the chemistry lab and ordered a hazmat suit, it gave me 2000 of them. They sell for around 1000 - 5000, so I am buying everything from the traders... I looked in the RAW file for the reaction, but didn't notice anything amiss. Don't know where else to look.

Slow down - I had this issue too, and it would go away with a reload, but only for 30 minutes and would then return. I loaded the game without dfhack, and the problem completely disappeared. I will try running with an older version of dfhack tonight and see if that works.

Idea:
Scrap logs - I like the crates, it feels very right for this mod. However I now have more bins than I will ever need. Is there any chance that you could sometimes create a barrel or bag instead of bins? I suppose I could just melt down all the extras but I think it would fit the idea to sometimes get a barrel or bag instead of the bin.

Is there any way to heal/ fix a damaged robot? A robot hospital would be useful. You could use wire, computer parts, and scrap metal.

[Deon]

Holy shit, I think I should have added [DOES_NOT_DETERMINE_PRODUCT_AMOUNT] on cloth... Thanks for the report.

Mr. Sturdy makes robots heal faster, but I plan to make a workshop which fully fixes robots.

[Guthbug]

Interesting that you loaded it without DFHACK and the lag went away.

Does the game still function without DFHACK? I know there's a lot of scripts in some mods that depend upon it.

[Deon]

He did not load it without DFHack, he just reloaded it. The lag comes after a long time of play.

The game will work, but most scripts, weapons, custom buildings etc.  won't.

[JediaKyrol]

crates...well...those things do get everywhere...I think a reaction to break apart crates into panels (like the sawmill logs-to-planks reaction) would be a great way to deal with the excess.

robot repair I've been meaning to mention too...I built a simple version copying the cryo-lab reaction/interactions that only affects ROBOT creature type, and trying to make a learn-able adventurer skill...even though you can just read a book and learn how to turn corpses into cybernetic husks or plant monsters...somebody might want an army of clap-traps.  ...but it looks like Deon will have his own version in soon.

Oh, Deon  Is there a plan for the overseer's chair to do anything?  like a DFHack script for converting visitors to citizens or vise-versa?

[Ivan Issaccs]

At the moment I seem to be getting a lot of crashes. I can't really be sure but it seems to be caused by incoming dust clouds.

[Deon]

Are you sure those are not military screen or search related due to those two dfhack plugins I have not updated? I haven't got a single crash but those (and none in succession games).

[Ivan Issaccs]

I'm certain its not military related as its been happening long before I start to make a military, my basis for the clouds idea is that when it freezes I've always had the dust storm announcement on the bottom of the screen before the program gets closed down.
As for searches I'm not sure what your referring to so can't really answer.

Indeed - I just restarted a saved game without using dfhack, and I ran it for hours without a slowdown. I think most things worked - I was able to build robots! I was able to get blueprints, build buildings, and create all those cool objects. The robots were able to use their plasma weapons. Did I mention that I really like the robots! They are so cool!

I also tried running it with an older version of dfhack. I just replaced the files in the hack folder with old ones. That did not work, dfhack (old) ran and gave me several pages of report on how broken it was, and nothing in it worked - not even something simple like deramp or prospect.
