I am to move thousands of stones into the atom smasher so they may all be destroyed at one point, the goal is to cause the game to crash.

[Hishan]

I demand a video, also thats a brilliant idea. Youd need LOTS of stone

If the game can handle all those stones for a starter, the REMOVAL of them shouldn't crash it. Instead it will improve your scrolling speed through the "z" list. If it does though, you may report it as a bug in memory overflow or anything else.

A pro tip: don't make threads about something you're going to make... A dwarfy way: make a thread about something which is done .

It shouldn't crash, but I think the game will freeze a few seconds.
At least that's what happened when I dumped 30k+ stones (underground temple to Armok, tower dug into the mountain, etc...) together with more than 10 sieges/ambushes worth of goblin crap (I only kept the iron) down the HFS chasm.
All of it was placed on a single grate and released when my blind mayor pulled the lever connected to it.... the game paused for a rather long time and I really thought I crashed it, but it startet running again after a while   

(Oh and it was a lot faster, too. At least 20 FPS more  )

it's only fun in DF, in GMOD or anywhere else I burst a blood vessel.

The power of "garbage collection" 

[jaked122]

I'm going to use custom smelter reactions to make the bulk of the things to be dumped

Thats because it was trying to calculate all the stuff falling.


A drawbridge crush is nearly instantaneous, and the only way to crash the game through it, imo, is to get a 16x16 embark, strip mine the entire thing, and dump all that stone under the bridge. Even then, i doubt it'll crash.

If you're still gonna do it, mod your dwarves with this:
[NOEAT][NOSLEEP][NODRINK][SPEED:1]
That'll get rid of all that unnecessary slacking going on.

[Slappy Moose]

I would recommend this method (added on to Eadgle's stuff): Give your dwarves a 100 damblock (in case of carp, sieges, etc). Use DTIL ti start with like 100 dwarves, then dig channels around the edge of the map. Collapse it all, and built a compactor at the bottom.

The use DTIL's unpauser tool to let your dwarves haul for a night or two while you sleep (leave your computer on). Compact in the morning.

Also, turn everything off, including artifacts and invaders.

Dwarven engineering: Using quantum physics to place about a million rocks in one place then smash them with a drawbridge.

You might also try using the correct tokens:

Code: [Select]

[NO_DRINK]
[NO_EAT]
[NO_SLEEP]
Just ribbin' ya, I'm a nice~guy~

But yeah that's a common mistake, underscores are important.

[ThtblovesDF]

Don't you simple need to exceed the bit cycle, as in dumping over 36 000 somethng stones to get into the negativ's?

It's a lot more than 36000.  I've had as many as 80,000 at one time.
