If the fort somehow miraculously survives, maybe the next taker should either be an optimization wizard or have Big Iron. By the time my run was done, it was so slow that if I just gave some orders and let a month run down without even touching it, it would take a couple hours to get through a month. I'm on a potato, but it's fairly bad.

Then there's also the fact the fort is such a dismal hellhole it's actually kind of depressing to play.
That will be me, I have a super computer and some know how to optimize. Anything if it means saving me from Tinlakes.

Yes it has. I’ve been a little lax since the save is running slow but @Randall Fragg hows it going fam?
Well, a forgotten beast somehow got into the fort, and managed to kill a few of the remaining useful dwarves before getting clubbed to death.

Aside from that, the fortress is just unfun. There's only about people left, most of them are visitors, and most of the dwarves are too depressed to actually do anything. I'm throwing. It's currently in autumn.
Here's the current save file.

I guess the question at this point is whether to bother continuing. Maybe @Trigger Me Timbers can contemplate whether any kind of radical intervention could save things. I'll note again this particular version of DF has stress mechanics that are so bad they're essentially bugged. The next version has fun things like guildhalls, temples, etc. that actually do stuff, traitors, artifact heists, and other stuff.

Also the stress is still substantial but nowhere near as bugged as it used to be and with a little management, only a few dwarves completely lose their minds instead of everyone.

Ok I got good news and I have bad news.

The Good. I managed to get it to a decent FPS with some map cleanups and atomsmashing junk.

the bad. The fort is barely functional, core jobs are not being done and the shear mass of dead bodiesmake any new dwarves instantly snap.

it isn’t fun, I could pull it out of a nose dive but it would only limp along for another year or so. i don’t want to pull the trigger myself so I have made a vote.

if we vote to make a new fort I will embark and keep the roster as is but obviously we welcome any new players!

P.s I need to update the OP and will get to it later this week.

Valiant effort. The final hurrah should be trying to rescue all the missing dwarves because i bet theyd be so excited to return home. Or flooding everything with magma "accidentally."

Is the latest version the cleaned up UI steam release? Cause I was going to give the game another go with when that came out.

it isn’t fun

This is the #1 issue and while I had fun trying radical solutions to the stress problem, just limping along year after year unable to do basic tasks is getting old. 0.47.04 (the Villains release) is now actually in pretty good shape with the Newb Packs, doesn't have the bugged :stress: mechanics of 0.44, and has some neat new things.

I was genuinely trying to flood the fort in magma but they can’t even mine when I ask them too.
Same goes for any search parties (I was gonna RP as Trigger Me. timbers sister who vowed to find her brother)

No sorry fren, that’s still “when it’s done” we will be playing on 47.04 which has some nice fixes but the UI is still the same.

Abandon the fortress. Return in adventure mode. Die spectacularly. Start a new fortress on the latest stablish version.

profit will be immense.
Dude.. YES

Infact, I will declare open season on anyone who wants to load up the last save by Randell Fragg and tell us your adventures. I won’t bother touching to save so just retire the fort and have fun, (I am shit at adventure mode).

Meanwhile, whiles you guys are adventuring. I willget the new fort running and clean up the OP.

If we continue with the same world and get same dwarf civ, would it be possible to save prisoners with new fort?

Has anybody else had trouble building guild halls in adventure mode? Every time I try to build a carpentry hall the game crashes to desktop without so much as an entry in the error log, and it's really frustrating because I need my doors god damn it!

A whole new world! 🎶

The Embark diary of "Trigella" Libahidash

15th of Granite, year 250.


We Wuz Kangs...

The world we live in was built for dwarfs, not for man, goblins or the god forsaken white skinned long eared devils... Dark skin and makes us strong, No longer shall we be oppressed by the filth on the surface. WE WILL CONQUER.

First little bit about myself,
triggella.PNG

I am a strong independent black dwarf, I worship the Eagle Deity "Ica" or "Teling, she represents Mountians, Volcanos and Water and I will defend her honor on my holy crusade to make dwarves the majority race, not the minority.

Our race is dying, Our civilization "the Righteous Glove" are the last great dwarven empire, our numbers are weak. We have given in to creature comforts spent too much time being inclusive and welcoming to other sub-dwarven species. My new reich will see to eliminate all who stand in my holy crusade.

First impression.PNG

We chose to live in the hot desert, somewhere where our dark peach skin will flourish and turn away any low melanin beasts.

Water and wood.PNG

It is not all a barren wasteland, To the north east there is a small woodland area and a small swamp, However we already fish the swamp dry, this land is for the Dwarves.

Farm.PNG

First things first, I ordered us to dig down into the earth, the first stop would be a small farm for plump helmets and cave wheat. I also ordered some dwarves to forrege in the north for potatos, yams, spinach and nuts. All to be prioritized into making booze. (note to self, need more barrels). The farm is mapped to F2.

Huh... As I look at our wagon on the surface I noticed some stuff looks like it's missing and it was then I noticed.

fucking badgers.PNG

Fucking Honey badgers, or as I like to call them. Furry Goblins, We need to get our shit down stairs asap.

Oh yer... we hit and aquifer, However since the furry menace was already stealing most of our supplies I ordered the dwarfs just to dig down and we will deal with the water problem later...

Oh speaking of Furry Goblins now I have regular goblins trying to snatch one of the kids who just arrived

swiper no.PNG


Next stop would be some shared living space for workshops and a tavern.
living.PNG

Nothing special but nice to get everyone inside. (mapped to F3).

I took some time to plan my special temple and get to know the other dwarves.
It was at this time I was talking to our Planter and found our she is.... bi sexual?
fag.PNG

See. It's shit like this is the reason why are our race is dying, I couldn't control myself. I called it how it is and I called her a fucking filthy disgusting to generate faggot and I demanded all the other dwarves call her faggot for her absolute degeneracy and destroying the dwarven race. I would kill her but I need as many hands as I can get right now.

Then followed by bedrooms, we do not have enough as we already got our first migrant wave, all dwaves so I am happy.
bedrooms.PNG

The bedrooms are mapped to hotkey F4.

It was here I let some time pass, I ordered all our walls to be smoothed and started work on my temple... I present...

Kiwi.PNG

"The Godly Birds" Temple.
(Mapped to F5)
Beautiful isn't it? I wanted to make it a temple dedicated to only Ica however some of our comrades seem to worship other deities. The atmosphere seems to have turned around here... I've noticed my comrades seem to be annoyed or upset at the way that I refer to anyone I don't like as sub human white skinned big nosed beardless apes and referring to anyone who isn't married as a "faggot'.

No Idea why these fags are getting so upset. Maybe I need to build a dungeon, i have the perfect place for one....
mine.PNG

This started off as a big pit just for all the aquifer water to drain into. This aquifer is actually a blessing in disguise.It leaks right down the staircase creating a waterfall (mist generator) so anyone going to or from the surface get the "been near a waterfall" mood buff as well as cleaning off dirt from them. God I am smart. This dungeon at the bottom shouldn't ever fill up with water because it evaporates before it pools up to much.

Anyway apart from all that, we had an artifact made, its shit.
artifact.PNG


We had the caravan come to trade, I didn't make enough crafts but made sure we have food stocks for the winter. An Elven caravan visited too but I tired to hawk something wood and it triggered them and they refused to trade with me. Faggots.

Well the year is finished, As much as I want to continue leading this fortress I have been informed by other members of the thought that I should let someone else have a go. Aprantly there all afraid of "Fascism" or "Ethnostate" being formed whiles I am at the helm.

Here is out Unit list.
Units.PNG

To the sole to takes over here is my laundry list of things I need to do.

  • Build a farmers guild, I already promised to do it.
  • Add some gate or doors, right now there are no defensive gates or doors
  • Murder any dwarf who has had relations with any non-dwarves
  • Make more bins and better stock pile for goods.
  • Make more crafts.
Save file: https://gofile.io/d/ucz2ht

(FYI the screenshots are not in order, I took them all at the end because I am lazy, I also overshot my time a little because I forget how fast the game runs at the beginning)

@Book Thievery you were next in line to go after me, let us know if you can take us into year 2.
