Game pausing as trees burn around my fortress
« on: January 31, 2022, 09:19:20 pm »

I was just attacked by a fire-breathing dragon.  We managed to kill it, but it set the forest on fire.  Now, my game keeps getting paused over and over again every time a tree comes down.

Is there a way to use DFHack to stop my game from pausing non-stop?

Also, is there a way to gather ashes from the burned areas outside?

It is possible to turn off pause-on-alerts, but it can be somewhat problematic when an alert that wasn't another tree falling down finally arrives. Go to data -> init -> announcements and make sure you turn it back on again after you've survived the complete destruction of the biome.

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

No ash gathering, I'm afraid. It must be in bar form.

Thanks for your answers, all.

I got lucky: it rained.
