I wonder what exactly is causing the 4 FPS problem. Magma flows? Invaders? Twenty fucking bridges in the air?

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.

SoFs can swim in magma.

Orcs can't, and SoFs can swim through air too.

Considering that the fires make it pretty obvious where ambushing SoF are, hence defeating the purpose of stealth, is there is point in SoF ambushes as opposed to sieges other than slaying FPS? We should give 'em balls and just let them full-out attack us each time they come.

Turn off temperature.  If your FPS immediatly skyrockets, then it's the magma/SOFs fault.

I didn't bother to test it, because your post indicated that the construction had failed, assuming Baby was the obsidian factory. Also, I think I saw several missing (melted?) floodgates.

As for the SoFs, you should try editing the RAWs to make them die. People have demonstrated that cats can be made to explode by giving them severonbreaks and a very high temperature. SoFs already have severonbreaks and a very high temperature, so you may be able to do the same thing by removing their heat resistance.

Project Baby was the world-flooding-device, which failed because I made the bridges in the sky out of obsidian.
There's a single floodgate which have melted in the factory, but it CAN be repaired, and even in it's current stage it's working, albeit refilling will be dangerous.

I'll see about making it work.

Not 100% certain why we'd need an obsidion factory though.  My top priority is going to be slaughtering any/all SOF's I can get my grubby dwarven paws on.

Edit:  I'll be 2 hours late, so whoever's currently got it can do an extra 2 hours.   But then I expect that baby up, I wanna make things work!

We only have a 30 z-level 2x1 area.

Or just not cheat.
