We really need to recruit more people to that list.

I have a funny feeling the the last guys might just be unavalible for their tunrs.

The list is 3 or 4 players longer, but still has to be updated.

Though yeah, we're burning the few overseers we have pretty fast :p

Right, so I did a quick test run with the latest save and I'm getting 11 FPS at best in standard running mode. That number might increase slightly once I shut down some of the unnecessary background processes. So, as long as I avoid combat and potential disasters, without further ado:
Da Nang, reporting for duty, Sir!

Ack, the why does the thread get busy when I get busy?

The front page should be updated properly now, yell at me if I missed something or someone.

It is really, really easy to flood this place with magma fwiw.

Doors stop fire, right?

This fort is the mirror of your soul. Don't let it die.  :P

Right. That means it's ignatzami's turn. Sending pm.

I feels loved! I'll nab the save and poke around on it tonight. How's the frame rate been for people?

Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

I began with 20~ fps and ended a bit under 30. There's plenty of projects to do - the trapped entrance to the north, the pyramid castle frame, reorganize the lever madness, the bridge trap to the west, improve defenses at the tomb at the bottom, breach HFS... I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

If you're getting 30ish, I'm guessing I'll be in the mid to low teens. Ouch.

I'll seal up the tomb, and try to figure out the levers all while dumping stuff as fast as I can. What's the pyramid supposed to be for?

I figured I'd missed someone.  Fixed now.

Casting obsidian. There are already magma and water pumpstacks started by the sides.

The pyramid was supposed to be an obsidian castle. It's what this fortress was all about initially, I seem to remember :D  At least until the toxic FB and all.
Also, keep in mind the garbage area (or one of them in any case) is set somewhere on the southern tower, over the lava. That works well to get rid of the clothing and corpses and all, but be careful not to throw anything useful or ironish/steelish there.

I've given the save on the front page a try, it seems playable to me (FPS-wise)

I'm terrible at updating apparently.

Now the front page save is correctly updated.

Ok! Quick out of character update, the latest save is playable, barely. I'm averaging 14FPS on my desktop, my laptop chuckled at me when I tried to load the save. I'll do my best to make it to the end of the year but updates may be slow due to the low frame count. If at any point the next overseer gets tired of waiting just send me a PM, I'll finish out the month, and post the save.
