Please tell me the only reason for low fps on a small map is stealthed SoF causing fires...

About 10 minutes in, this happens:

A total of 4 ambushes happened simultaneously, with something like 60 invaders total.  Even with half of them just sitting by the edge of the map, it was more than enough to trash everything.

Screw it, I'm savescumming and am gonna try nerfing these fuckers a little.

Damnit, today turned into a giant mess for me, I'm not going to be able to get anything done with the fort.  If abculatter wants to start early with the previous save, go for it.

Be warned, you've got an imminent ambush or three coming very soon after you start.

I'll start in a bit.

Time for some FUN!

EDIT: Why the hell has no one built a roof?

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Now wall yourself in quickly

By the way, the magma world flooder is totally salvageable. It would have worked had I not used the copper pump parts that some clown had built before my time. There are many alunite blocks available, and enough steel to make parts for the dozen pumps that make up the flooder. You could upgrade the entire facility to steel/alunite pumps, and give some due dilligence to the wooden axles, possibly moving the one closest to the pumps upwards or downwards to allow for a wall to separate the others from the magma.
