Chariot races will be added right after the Narcoleptic Zombie Arc!

Welp, we've got sweet Zombies, and I bet there's an interaction for Narcolepsy.

Circus Dwarfimus, here we come!

This showed up on my first page, so I click on it, commented on how far apart the last few posts were...

Look back in it again, and it's been weeks since the last one...what the heck?

EDIT: Nevermind... Was this not pinned before, cuz I never noticed it... Just saw the pin :-D

EDIT2: ... I clicked into the wrong forum... 

(feeling a little dumb at the moment, going to go away now...)

So I tried sending in a question, and got a message back saying that the e-mail had not been delivered. Is this a malfunction of some kind, or have you stopped accepting additional quesitons for the time being?

[Capntastic]

I have a copy of it, if you check the main page Toady himself has been having email problems though.

[Jheral]

Yeah, I noticed that. I tried resending it after he mentioned, and it worked. Hope I didn't spam the rest of you with my attempts to send it. 

(Although, I guess that, depending on how you've set it up, you wouldn't get one either unless he does.)

[Neonivek]

So you guys are running dry of questions huh?

Unfortunately lately I keep my questions to myself, though I wonder if I could get others to send some.

I really, really like DF Talk.

I really, really like DF Talk.

It is alright. I find it more and more meandering.

LOL, I have a meaty question:

Based on the distributions of temperature gradients from legends mode for a series of large islands coupled with the "2 meters per play tile" minecart calculation estimates, some of us in the Fortress mode discussion subforum have derived some rough figures for the DF planet's size, density, distance from its star, and what kind of orbit the DF planet's moon has to take to get the periodicity presented in fortress mode.

Sadly, the calculations indicate that the moon will eventually crash into the planet from tidal forces slowing the moon down, forcing it to deorbit in a world ending cataclysm.

These estimations and calculations are based on the presumption that the DF planet is intended to be spherical.

As the architect of the worldgen algorithm, and the creator of this system, what topology do you personally ascribe the DF planet to be, and, if the crashy moon isn't intentional, what would you suggest be done about it?

(Otherwise, the numbers work out fantastically well, given the materials and points of data presented by legends mode and the raw files, and by empirical data collection techniques.)

What do you think happens when the world is deleted

What do you think happens when the world is deleted 

Oh, dear.

What do you think happens when the world is deleted 

Armok grabs the world and eats it like a meatball filled with people,soil and magma

What do you think happens when the world is deleted 

I personally think that the world is not lost, but recreated as a "new Heavens new Earth" idea, but only on someone else's computer
and Armok lives through all our computers

On Topic: To answer your question, I think I've heard of a planned feature called "natural disasters," which may or may not include astronomical disasters.

[Zesty]

Is there a way for us to help make more regular episodes of DF Talk happen? Maybe as a Patreon goal or sponsoring?
