I once managed to improve my framerate by opening HFS. I'll leave how that worked to the imagination.

[Kc_spot]

I had to abondon my Laboredlash fort. Apathy for it and trying to catch up the blog too late are to blame. This post explains everything in detail.

I WILL have a DF fort blog up! so the blog post for details on that as well!

Had a massive pile-up of demons from a bug triggering it unintentionally, then breached and killed all the demons thus lightening your pathfinding load?

Please spoiler any mention of demons either in the usual spoiler, or in spoiler-type text (what I did)

I just had a megaproject idea.
Breaching the cotton plug  and making and eternal cave-in-maker.

Throatlabour has put the making of much adamantine stuff on hold. A seige of 4 mounted gobbo squads of varying forms, and a couple o' dozen troll fishery workers rocked up in the largest siege i have ever had to put up with at the same time as a caravan. this caravan was slaughtered, but the liason made it through to elevate us to a duchy (free stuff - yay... even if next years will probably suck). Dozens maimed themselves on the various trapped paths left to them. The trolls demolished my outside fishery (seriously, they were all troll fishery workers), before in a rather unorganised trickle they al made for my main gate via a ballista channel, cage line and a large marksdwarf bunker. few made it past, and if they did the walled attacks cut them down quickly (in the midst of it all my milita commander became attatched to the artifact rat bone shield i have given him). my main hallway is covered with lovley blood in 3 colours - and the gold road had only just been finished, and now it needs cleaning. the only injuries - 2 marksdwarves eneded up with minor arrow in the arm related injuries which have been easily dealt with via rutherer soap and adamantine sutures, as the leader of the pikegob squad was an elite bowgobbo. my fps has dropped to a crawl as the mess is cleaned up via butchery, dropping it into the magma sea, or putting the priso... i mean volunteers into the arena. hopefully my fps will go back up when all the mess has been dealt with so i can get pack to preparing for assaulting hell.

Well my fort DeathWorked(good name considering...) has been set up completely. Had one mining related death due to a cave-in. 5 dwarfs died due to a really bad infection that spread quickly. They where sealed off in the hospital till they died. Made a new hospital so I don't have to worry about the bodies exposing other dwarfs to that nasty thing. And the last bit of excitement came from many ambushes happening at once. First was kolbolds, they killed my guard dogs quickly but the floodgates cut off their entrance to my fort. Just after that a gabbo ambush appeared and started fighting the kolbolds. That happened 3 more times but in the end I got lots of metal to melt and not one dwarf was hurt at all. Now I am trying to get a breeding pair of elephants or black bears from the elfs. I got one of each.

I'm about to attempt to do the unattemptable. Well its been done, but not by me
Que 7 years of ingame work later.
Corridor full of 3 legendary+5 with masterwork ballista's and each with around 20 masterwork steel arrows.
Also in said corridor are 17 weapon traps contain masterwork steel discs, some juicy bluemetal masterwork discs.
Needless to say I'm going to collonize HFS.
Will let you know how this goes :S

[TolyK]

the traps are pointless sorry
hfs have trapavoid, so basically each is a mean kobold.
make adamantine spikes instead.

[FrisianDude]

Just gobbled up two Gobbo ambushes. Losses on my side, a very decent human spearman and two marksdwarves (and a donkey). Losses on theirs; 10 Goblins, of which 8 had crossbows. (Which means I get better crossbows than I had before.) The dead donkey was carrying a flail and a halberd.

dude. :S
So what only menacing spikes have an effect? :/ so upright spears+repeating lever?

Yep. Also, make sure the ceiling is right above them, or you'll have much fun dealing with the flying ones that will simply avoid the spikes.

Looks like I know how like 150+ masterwork discs/corkscrews/balls/axeblades for no reason :L

[FrisianDude]

Move them, place them in anti-ambush weapon traps. Create gore fest there.

My new fort will be very lucky!

Why?

I embarked in a volcano as usual, get "A section of cavern has collapsed!" warning as usual, and then...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"Raw Adamantine! Praise the miner!"

The volcano ended just near a vein of it, so...

Quick grab the pick and DIG!!!

Also... I continue getting the collapsing cavern warning every 5 second or so... what it means?

There is floating mud in your caverns. Trees are growing on it. But because trees are too heavy to float on air, they fall, causing a cave-in.
