God can't adjust the variables, he's just running DF 1.0 with a human civ.

He just shoved them off to different planets. When our founding 7 arrived here, they caused some lizards to die by accidentally hitting magma in a wrong place (with their spacewagon). We still haven't cleared out the debris cloud around our system, so no traders can get here. And with the millions of deaths per year, we obviously can't count on any migrants appearing anytime soon. And we're still beneath the wealth threshold for sieges, though we already get snatchers and the occasional thief.

Snatchers seem to only go for the insane ones, and cows. We don't seem to get many thieves though.

Because there are no kobolds! And of course, the little green men are all goblins. It makes perfect sense now!

Shall I put that down as the first conspiracy theory that makes sense then? ;)

Problem: what happens when Toady creates DF 1.0 in our world? Would it break even God's miighty infinity-plus-one ghz computer? Will our universe cease to exist in a flash of burning *cat leather*? And more importantly, on what forum will God post the epic tale?

We need to do things with stuff we have.  How about that for a starting place?

will we at high levels of physics be able to bend the laws?(of physics)(perpetual motion machine, matter generator etc)

I doubt it. Besides, why would we need to? We could have quantum computers figure it out for us by the time we get to that level of technology.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.
