Originally posted by DoubleG:in the DFHack window, type 'liquids' One of the reasons you wanted to stay away from atom smashers and keep as much loot around as possible, Iron/steel is very finite. So your only source of iron after a while became the sieges/cavern dweller waves. OG DF your economic stone/coke/ores/gems were a much smaller finite resource. The current version of this game, the steam version, it's REALLY new player friendly. If you have lots of individual items all over the place like rocks each one is a tracked entity.

You want as much stuff in stockpiles as possible, the Stockpile inventory is a single entity tracking mechanism. They make the food faster, you have more pots and barrels hanging around, etc. It takes a bit because the caverns FILL with stuff long before you ever get to a level of security/military capable of keeping haulers safe grabbing all the loots.Īlso, once you get to the point where you are making Masterpiece Lavish Meals your actual food needs decrease as well. Once you develop a heavy consistent item destruction methodology that works for large amounts of items you will break through the low FPS from having too much stuff lying around over the years. Unless you drain that lake down to 0/7 on that layer and leave the 7/7 underneath. Only pull magma from Magma lakes coming in from the map edge so it fills back up again to 7/7. Before each dorf can move a square, 1000 water flow blocks have to be calculated by the game.ħ/7 pressure is fine, it will run watermills, but the 5/7, 6/7 blocks will tear your FPS down to nothing. that means if you have 1000 water flow blocks and 500 dorfs. Each square with waterflow has to be calculated on each tick. But if you want to maximize FPS, minimize all water/magma flow. yeah sure there's lots of items to track, plants growing, rain, Dorfs, pets and livestock. The highest single FPS drain in the game is water calculations.
