Just found this today, if you view a baby's profile on the day s/he is born, it shows this as the age:


Obviously, at the rate a fairly new embark goes you may have a split second to pause the game to view the profile. Just thought i'd share this with you guys.

Don't dwarven births autopause the game by default?

[Jacob/Lee]

They do, but going at 100 FPS, days pass extremely quickly.

I play at 60fps from 7 dwarfs, to 150.  60 fps and 60 gfps; that way it looks fluid

[The Scout]

Is it possible to play at 1000 FPS? Atleast 500 right?

[Jacob/Lee]

If you had a supercomputer.

If you had a supercomputer.

liquid nitrogen-cooled running nothing in the background, you might get FPS that good

Supercomputers almost always rely on numbers of cores, not processing power.

So even a supercomputer isn't doing anything special there.

And memory bandwidth. Although, with the amount of data DF uses, you might get a speedup there.

The point of the exercise would be to get a core that can be over clocked to an large scale, then embark on a freezing biome, so to speek. Basicly run it over capacity and freeze that S.O.B.

I know this is going way way off topic, but it makes me think of something I've been wondering for a while, namely this:

Lame image hosting service...

When I need to pass time until something happens I run the game at 0 fps, does anyone know why it displays like this?

[celem]

lol, mebbe its 0. and then all those numbers.

On topic, yeah I noticed that message recently actually, was checking for the caste of my new kids in genesis.  Otherwise its easily the sort of thing you might never see

[ungulateman]

Another good easter egg is typing "Elec" into the manager. I don't know if it works anymore.

[Fishbulb]

What's it supposed to do? On my 31.18 it just gives me a list of electrum-related jobs.

[ungulateman]

I believe it used to insult you and pretty much say 'This isn't D&D'. It may have been a different input than 'Elec'.
