HFS causing FPS implosion?
« on: June 06, 2009, 04:43:58 pm »
After cracking open the HFS, my framerate went from 300FPS to about 60FPS. What causes this (no FS have un-H'd) and is there a way to reverse it (maybe by flooring over the glowing pit)?

They're trying to path to your dwarves, and if this is prevented by any means...you have "FUN" with your FPS.

It's walled off. Does that mean the FS has appeared and trying to deal with them will result in opening a forty pound box of rape?

There are dwarves that are nothing but useless sacrifices - Miners are not one of them.

Send the canarelfs down. If you get engravings of depraved acts being commited on them, you;ve got HFS waiting. On a more serious note, find out WHAT you have, then plan accordingly. Sacrifice a recruit to wall themselves in, then remove the wall on the HFS room.
V They are, but is it more fun to get engravings of them being burned alive or probed?

Depraved acts, I think, are specific to tentacles.

I don't know.
But HFS either rape you, or your FPS.

I already did when I first found it. Just dead and wilting dwarves, so I don't think I have tentacle demons on my case.

I'm building a 100-tile-long upright spike hallway, all attached to the same lever. There will be blood. Dorf, demon, cat, whatever the hell gets in there.

Note that the FS's spawn as soon as you open it up.  They are just invisible, so yeah.  Also, the shitload of melancholy and babbling elves/humans/dwarves don't help much either if they are loose.

Yeah, I can confirm that. I think SoFs get you burning sentients, sentients in the foetal position and sentients in pain.

Well, thank Armok, because all I got were a bunch of chained sentients (all of whom are dead now, so they aren't what's killing my perf).

I thought spirits of fire couldn't gank steel with their residual fire? I was planning on steel spikes (a stretch of about 30) with glass ones behind it.

It was spirits of fire.

Much death ensued.

However, I reloaded and gave the demons [DAMBLOCK:-9999]. I feel dirty, but god dammit I love this fort.

Perhaps a spoiler warning on the title now?  It seems to be the protocol around here.

Did the SoFs melt the spikes? :D
