Oh, and both Gunsmith's forge and Generator use capital G.

How did you make the world look like earth?

Thanks, I will fix it eventually .

You can tweak map settings to create custom maps in DF.

I also got massive amounts of lag in the wilderness of the North America worldgen map... I was also finding huge amounts of living things compared to normal worlds.

Also, I tried to set up in the first cave I found. Unfortunately it was full of about 500 enclave losers. Fortunately I picked super mutant and am very slowly working through them... 126 kills. I have to wait 5-10 seconds between every action though so it's going to take a very long time.

I tried using a different worldgen preset, the 129x129 one at 100 years. So far things are much smoother. Maybe it's just the North America worldgen preset doing something weird?

I was actually waiting for the new DF release, because scrap piles growing items (new tree functionality) and a lot of other stuff sounds fantastic for the mod. But since it's a long lasting issue, I will review creature populations. I think making 2 sets of raws for fortress and adventure would be not a bad idea. Currently the creature numbers are increased dramatically to increase fortress mode fun. It was supposed to increase creature variety in adv. mode as well, but maybe it's a bit too much and people with weaker CPU/lower memory might experience issues with it.

Just to make sure that it's not some bug in DF causing it and a real performance issue, what are your system specs (a question meant for guys experiencing slowdown in wilderness)?

Greets good deon,
i'm wondering, if i were to write up a quick tutorial for this, like i did for putties fortbent, if you would use it?
i really like this mod, and it seems p easy to explain, once you get it. i just wouldn't want to write it and have it drown in the recesses of the thread. also, who is that sultry voice who i unceasingly jam to as i start up the game?

I am sorry that I missed your proposition, I really appreciate that you like the mod . I was just away from modding for some time and now I am coming back, I just needed a time away from DF to desire playing/modding it again.

Is there a Soundsense pack specifically for this mod?

[Talvieno]

I downloaded it to give it a go, and it runs at 5 fps or so on embark, when I usually get 100+ with vanilla DF, and only hit 5 fps after year 20 or so. Any tips on making it run at a playable speed?

Edit: Nevermind. Oddly enough, everything sped up after I'd played through a tedious week or two ingame.

Hi, I got a small problem.

I recently decided to play this mod once again but for some reason I can't seem to open any crates. My Inventor's Bench gives me the option to open one or more of the several crate types but when selected, my trapper still has 'no job' and eventually the option for opening the crate turns red again while it still remains as an active job to be done.

Any clue on what went wrong?

I'm getting this issue too, though. I have alchemists available, as well as unopened crates, but the job list remains red.

reedit: Figured it out. The problem was, I had the inventor's bench encompassed by a burrow. Deleting it solved the issue.

Is there a list with all the mod specific items and the categories they get sorted to?

I'm having an impossible time making stockpiles because I can't find the categories I want.

I.E.: where do I put saltpeter, sulfur, computer parts, wiring, prewar crates, etc.

I'm trying to make a specific stockpile to keep all the techie things in their own pile.  Scrap logs go to pile which feeds the Scrapyard which should then feed its output to a stockpile that feeds the Tinkerer's Bench and the Gunsmith's forge.

Also, the FPS for this mod seem to be really low.  I'm getting 60s and sometimes 40s with less than 50 dwarves.

[Deon]

That FPS drain could be caused by DFHack scripts which provide item effects, I will take a look at that if you want.

I haven't created a full list of all added items, but most of tech stuff is in tools.

[Terry Lennox]

If it'll help you, I'll be glad to post the save. 

[Deon]

Could you just try to start the save temporary removing dfhack.init from the root folder? Don't forget to put it back because it is required for many things, but let me know if launching the game without DFHack initialized speeds it up.

[Meph]

Hey deon, have you seen the things that IndigoFenix wrote for the Gnomes in MDF? Tesla coils and dynamos, yes/no/and/or integers for traps and dwarfputing, automated furnaces and conveyor belts, electricity... many things that fit the more scifi regions of your mod here.

Maybe you can use some of the scripts yourself.

[Deon]

I missed so much lately, thank you for heads up!

[Terry Lennox]

Could you just try to start the save temporary removing dfhack.init from the root folder? Don't forget to put it back because it is required for many things, but let me know if launching the game without DFHack initialized speeds it up.

Yep, this added at least 30fps to the game.  It used to run at least at 50~60fps and after removing dfhack.init, the FPS climbed and stayed at ~90 fps.

[Deon]

Thanks, I guess I will have to make some scripts optional for the next release. Itemsyndrome which allows power armor actively checks alive creatures for equipment and syndromes on equipment, so I guess in wilderness and with many units it slows everything down.

You can put dfhack.init back but open it with text editor and remove the line called "itemsyndrome". You may have to use some advanced text editor like Notepad++ if regular notepad cannot separate lines properly.
It will get rid of some stuff like power armor giving strength bonus/tactical helmets increasing skills etc, but everything else will work.

[Putnam]

With r4, itemsyndrome shouldn't be slowing down stuff much at all...

[Deon]

Yep, I need to update it then, thank you Putnam!
