Jaxler, I must say, I commend you for your ingenious use of candy. My suggestion: Dig as much out as you can.

i know all too well about HFS i allready have 20 sets adamantine armor and weapons. the only thing i can do know is use it for other reasons building are impracticle as i already make buildings of gold. so for semplistic reasons and time reasons i move 1 bar and get all the shit i need. i could use gold but... "meh" so ya i sould use candy for another 400 armor. guess i could make 1 statue per caravan and buy them out. IN FACT I WILL DO THAT. TANKS YALL

I... Really only understood half of the things you just said. And you said you have 5 adamantine pillars on your embark... Just how large is your embark map?

You will need more than 20 sets once you reach the tent. :)

This whole thread is hilarious. My advice: if you really HAVE to sell adamantine, at least make large serrated adamantine discs. They will sell for insane amount of cash.

Just want to point out that how large your world is has virtually no effect on your FPS in-game. The only thing that it does is decrease the time that it takes to generate the world, making smaller worlds nicer for those with computers that would take an hour or two to gen a large world.

If I understand right, a 5x5 embark can have anywhere from 4 to 9 candy sticks.

I guess, however that still is a negligible effect compared to the 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or whatever size of your embark site, and it has no actual effect upon the FPS after loading, simply increasing the time it takes to load in the first place.

I'm just saying you either embarked with a pretty big screen, or got luck *which I'm not ruling out. I did a standard 2x2 embark and got 4 adamantine pillars :O
