Just the facts which i found during the modding of my game:

1. Modding-in more layers DO NOT slows the game itself, but DEFINITELY slows the map generation process.

2. Adding more [ENVIRONMENT] and [ENVIRONMENT_SPEC] tags to SOILs slows the map generation even better.

3. Modding-in more soil layers DO NOT slows the game itself, but GREATLY slows the Finder during embarking.

4. Modding-in more aquifer soils DO NOT slow the embark, but SOMEWHAT slows the fortress mode when the more than one or two of aquifers are engaged in the same water utilization.

5. The [ENVIRONMENT:SOIL:somewhat] tag negates the [SOIL] and [SOIL_SAND] tags, as the soil layers that have the [SOIL_SAND] tag have sand (and are farmable without irrigation) but the inclusions of other soils do not have sand and are not farmable.

Nice research. However I see nothing about first-person shooter killing. So let me stay on topic: click left mouse button when your crosshair meets their head.

No that's how you kill in a first-person shooter. The only way to kill a first-person shooter is with an electromagnet and well-timed lightning strikes.

a good dwarfish hammer will kill your fps dvds in seconds.  Ditto on your hard drive

I also believe that adding a bunch of (Semi)Megabeasts and powers also kills the first person shooter because of how many of those world gen needs to deal with.

No no no. You kill an FPS by taking too long to develop it, and then offering nothing new when it finally is released.

If you want to slow your Dwarf Fortress game to a crawl, however, you could do worse than adding [VERMINHUNTER] to a flying creature, or possibly even just removing [PATTERNFLIER]. Giving large numbers of creatures (especially fliers) [AMBUSHPREDATOR] is also a good way to slow down, and smell the sweet pods.

annnnnd if you want to mod things to get FPS to become INSAINLY fast, how could you tweak the game to do that?

Remove weather, temperature, liquids, seiges, moods, mountains, animals, traders, stones, layers, metals, dwarves and fortresses from the game. You might get it to run at a decent speed then.

If that doesn't suit you, you can always pick and choose from
