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 is my house filled with vomit.

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.

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.

have the catapults on the roof been doing anything of late?

[crash2455]

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.

[RavingManiac]

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.

[ArkDelgato]

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?

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.

[Demonic Spoon]

He has not been active since the 16th, skip?

[Yaddy1]

No I'm here. Just remembered  dffd is being slow...

[Demonic Spoon]

Ah, kk.

[crash2455]

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

[Yaddy1]

Actually my computer is not good enough to play this. Sorry!

[Demonic Spoon]

crash continue or barborassa start?
