Turn complete.

Save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=1124
Map: http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-6117

Framerate is around 20 on a 2.7 Ghz Xeon.

A couple of things:  I've set all non-colored stones except Rhyolite (our most abundant) to be dumped.  I have been noticing a slight increase in framerate as the stone continues to melt away (unfortunately, I did some mining so it went back down again).  This also means that there are never any idlers ever, and a number of people may be dumping stone instead of doing work.  If you want to have your workers maybe work faster (I dunno), undump the stone in the stocks menu.  I would be against that option, though, as it means that we're no longer curving the framerate issue.

Also, I've started a tower.  Continue it as you see fit.

Why ISN'T your house filled with vomit?!

Recommend large construction projects. Pretty much the same amount of walking for dwarves, but at least you get a nice dorfy statue or giant tankard or something.

EDIT: Just took a look at the map. Wow. Just wow. Crash, you know your stuff.
Although some aspects of the fort make me facepalm and wonder what I've helped create.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you will look sweet upon the seat
of a bicycle built for two.

Thanks, I was lucky to have a full day and a half to devote to this.  Also, you knew that a certain pair of structures was coming.

Why is my house filled with vomit.

Cave adaptation.  Also, the dwarves have decided that your house is the new second entrance.

I moved them inside so that it would be easier to dispose of waste stone.  Also, I think I accidentally ordered a catapult part to be dumped, so I need to replace that.  We should look into building more catapults.  They dispose of stone and build strength.  I dunno why I didn't think about it on my turn.

The low framerate is probably due to the sheer number of stone we have lying around. In the stocks menu, simply selecting "stone" causes the game to hang for several seconds.

If you have sufficient manpower, try dumping some of the stone in magma.

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

Would it be safe (or FUN) to rig up the catapults to fire into the atom smasher, which is connected to pressure plates that are activated when the seige operator leaves the catapult to get more stone?

QFE

A couple of things:  I've set all non-colored stones except Rhyolite (our most abundant) to be dumped.  I have been noticing a slight increase in framerate as the stone continues to melt away (unfortunately, I did some mining so it went back down again).

Additionally, catapults already destroy stone if it hits a wall, so we could use that instead of our pumps as a pasttime strength-enhancing activity.

Also, where's Yaddy?  This is supposed to be his turn.

Yaddy, you should take a look at my map, since it details things I was doing and plans to continue them.
