How can I modify this to prevent masterpiece spam?

Remove both A_D and D_D. IIRC A_D is for adventure mode... yeah. That should work.

It is not working. Is it required to regen world?

This part is incorrect as per the wiki and my .18 game. I don't have a .19 game with coal so it has changed in and the wiki is wrong then, well, that's interesting.

Anyone else getting real bad lag in 31.19? I'm in year 2 with 50 dwarfs and am down to 10 f/gps. Is there any way to help with this? My FPS is capped at 100 and GPS is capped at 30.

I mean ya, I have 117 corpses, and that duck is vomiting all over my fortress, but this is bloody ridiculous.

Is it actually possible to keep elephants alive?  I embarked somewhere with soil layers, and elephants.  Cage traps nabbed me a few elephants when they got too close.  I tamed two of them and made them into war elephants, which then proceeded to follow the trainer around, mostly in the dug-out stone tunnels.  When I noticed that they were starting to get hungry, I assigned them to my 268-space underground soil pasture, along with various other animals.

The elephants (and the other animals) all seem to wander around to a random piece of grass in the pasture and eat it.  No problems there... except that the elephants never stopped starving.  And now one of them has starved to death.

My conclusion is that an elephant cannot consume grass fast enough to feed its, err,  elephantine appetite.  And I see a comment on the wiki about tree-grazing not being implemented yet.

So, elephant roasts of course... but was this preventable?

Edit: damn... no roasts from that one.  Apparently they don't like butchering dead war elephants.

Try atomsmashing/magma-ing the corpses, after you build slabs to prevent ghosts.
You could also be having problems with unrevealed ambushes, or your cavern water/magma sea could be bugging out and causing lag.
The only unusual lag I've had with .19 is during world gen, but that can be relieved by genning a short history.

...that duck is vomiting all over my fortress...

Spreading blood pools and splashes started killing FPS a couple of versions ago.  Is your fortress really awash with duck vomit?  That could be killing the FPS if there's enough, although I thought that Toady fixed the problem.

Edit:

Yet who would have thought the old duck to
have had so much vomit in him?

[Mister Always]

So I just collapsed a bit of the aboveground soil layer to get a farm that'd let me grow outdoor crops inside (thereby injuring some cavies and killing a herbalist. Oh well). Problem is, there's now a few patches of "limestone pebbles" where I made the thing collapse, preventing me from putting farm plots there. Will these go away?

You can toggle liquid spreading in init options, it's off by default.

Do you have any building destroyers on map/in caverns? Do you have any ghosts? They both cause extreme lag.

Terrain does not "go away" by itself.

A human caravan showed up with two.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, building a wall out of rock nut oil soap requires carpentry for some reason.

Yep, making buildings out of plant products now uses carpentry.
This brings up the question what is used, when you want to build a wall out of metal bars/blocks.
Is it masonry (as I would expect) or blacksmithing?

[agatharchides]

It was metal working for bars.

[Bouchart]

The reason why I brought it up is that in previous versions building soap walls used masonry.  Metalworking builds metal walls/supports.

If I want to make a stock pile for exclusively nest boxes and one for hives, what do I highlight in the stockpiles menu? Are they furniture or finished goods even?

well, I have found all my nest boxes in a bin labeled finished goods so I'm leaning that way, but the finished goods menu in stockpiles does not have a nest boxes option.
Edit: found. finished goods-> tools, not nest boxes.
