Mayor Conducted meeting while paused
« on: March 04, 2010, 09:34:23 pm »
So, one day my mayor was conducting a meeting with a human trade representative and i went to designate some rooms to be dug out, and during this time while my mayor somehow managed to advance two steps in the meeting process and finished it, during the entire time it was paused...

I've had this before too.  I believe it has to do with normal stacking up of announcements.

I keep thinking glacier fortress would be fun, but it always ends up as cave layer fortress.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, really.  It seems that when you issue most commands (maybe not all?) while paused, it behaves as if you had hit period - that is, it progresses one step.  Unless you are making a LOT of commands while paused, it shouldn't get much done.

But TWO steps of the meeting?  Ouch - maybe there is a bug somewhere.  I've designated huge things, disliked the result, undesignated them, and repeated... a few times during one pause session even... and never had that much get done.

Not just mining designations, just about anything in the designation menu works. In fact, I swirl my cursor around the screen using the cut tree designation (usually underground) to speed up the meeting proccess. Also saves on creating a mess of mining designation underground.
