Each world you generate gets its own folder (Default name being RegionX, where X is the lowest positive number not currently in use). You can rename the folders to make it easier to tell them apart (I currently have SereneDesert, DesertVolcano, and RiverFall).

A man would see that as a difficult challenge.
An elf would see that and despair.
A dwarf would see that and say, "Bring it on."

Heh, I'm doing my first real fort right now (I had a fort aided by a tutorial , I don't like to talk about that one). You know you're doing something right when you get the "Immigrants  came, despite the danger" message...then 5 of them die (damn you FB blood!!).

And thats how I discovered DFclean!

data / init / d_init.txt

The first set of options controls the autosave. I set mine to save yearly (seasonal is overkill imo) and back up as I have problems with the game that only time travel can solve.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

1) set up hospital zone
2) stock with traction benches, cloth, and other supplies
3) eventually realize that nerve damage doesn't heal, meaning this dwarf is forever an invalid
4) devise a way to flood the hospital with lava in rage
I hope that the devs realize somehow that dwarfs that can make advanced mechanism that emit signals thruogh space just with rocks, also could make rock/metal bio-parts/prot to reconstruct severe injuries/mutilations

Just imagine, a dwarf reconstructed almost entirely with gem encrusted adamantine...  that could get in the magma and "live" in there...  or a squad of mecha-dwarfs that could make that waterdome that you want, without having to drain anithing

Surprisingly, I have never gotten that immigration message, nor the next, where none come because it's such a death trap. Even when two thirds of everyone were dead... Maybe because they died as soldiers rather than civilians?

What's fun is that I'm in a good aligned jungle, so the most dangerous things around here are the unicorns.
My first (or second?) FB had deadly blood that caused whoever touched it to bleed to death. The animals died first, leaving trails of blood and pus all around my fort (Which wasn't all that bad because my [above ground] trading post was saturated in it. It was sweet). What pushed me to use dfclean was that looking at the hug piles of blood caused the game to crash.

edit:As a side note, never assign lots of war dogs to your military dwarfs. If the deadly blood doesn't kill your dwarfs, the tantruming military just might.
