I have been playing pretty steadily at 1/2 speed also with no issues of notice.

In my current dwarf for I just bumped it to normal after a year. Dwarves don't need much slowdown (if any) unlike humans or gnomes. A lot of above ground building means slow starts.

Lol, the dropbox link is down again... more than 10GB traffic in 24h is something they dont like. DffD is still up.

[Nuhaine]

Hotkeys for the workshop reactions such as 'sell X for Voucher'/'Buy X for Voucher' would be nice.

[slay_mithos]

Meph, the limit on the drop box was already reached on the first day.
It proves that we want your mod that much.

On the calendar speed, 1/2 might not be enough to notice (even 1/4 didn't show it), which is why I said 1/8 speed.

I'll have a bit of time in a few hours to try again.


EDIT:
OK, I tested more, and it seems like my odd things were due to my computer acting weird yesterday, good to know.

[slay_mithos]

sorry for the double post (more that a day later should be ok, if not I'll edit).

Does the 'calendar speed' affect the crops?

From on of your posts, I was under the impression that setting the calendar to 1/8 would mean that the crops would take the same amount of 'tick', so seasonal crops could grow 8 times a season, and the tree farming could start netting results in the second or third season at most.

From my observations, above ground crops still take a full season to grow (and trees are not ripe after nearly a year at 1/8).
Same goes for animal growth, but birthing rates seem to be related to the passing ticks rather than days.

It does make sense that it works that way, but I embarked thinking that my main trade resource would be from dyed rope reed goods, and it clearly does not work that way.
Good for me that many things work "normally" even in 1/8 (hunting, fishing), and that there seem to be silk on the surface.

My point is, is it intended (and I misunderstood), or is it a resulting effect that happens to work like that?

[Meph]

You are correct. I misunderstood the system, IndigoFenix corrected me a while ago... crops do grow slower it seems.

[slay_mithos]

It's very nice though, it means that all the season/year related things keep their durations, while the living can do many more actions.

I like this time dilation approach way more that what I understood, because I need time to settle, but I wouldn't want it to overpower me by giving me two batches of steelwood per season.

I'm having a bug with mousequery in V6:
If I "mousequery track enable" then I get weird bugs where the placement preview Xs are offset from the cursor, and hitting ESC to get out of placement or designation mode warps me to the center of the map at Z -4.

Without mousequery-track, of course, life is hateful.

WRT Dropbox, you could encourage people to use "copy to my Dropbox" instead of downloading. That doesn't use up bandwidth cap AFAIK, and Dropbox will just pull it down for them.

For mousequery questions, you have to ask the mousequery author I am afraid. I cant do much about it.

The dropbox thing: I do have a second server now, just need to upload it. Havent installed any ftp programs yet. ^^

OK. It seems like it works on a stock 34.11/dfhack r4, but I'll ask Falconne. Thank you!

bonus points for sea embark with untamed wilds
----------
edit: evidently i didn't know you can buy a pick from the merchants but this is still a nice theme idea

My mousequery problem turned out to be setting TWBT to 10 Z-levels instead of 15. What version of TWBT is MDF V6 using, so I can report it to mfiki properly?

This might be stupid be I just got the interweb back after a week since of power outages but I have been playing the crap out of the adventure mode of the last update. Here is a few strange thing that I saw or happened.

1.Werewolfs when being played you can't talk to any body since you know, you're a werewolf.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but it is fun to slaughter every last human.

2.This forgotten beast is made of runes. Does that make it have the power of runes?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

3.And here is a tip...STAY AWAY FROM BANSHEE TOWNS!

Renamed short skirts to plain skirts, they are now common.

But.. but.. that ruins everything!
