Learning dwarf fort without the wiki and with just the ? menu is like climbing mount everest with just your teeth.

I think you should go to orders (o) and allow collecting of things from dead enemies (?) Alternatively, d-b-c, select huge area, and you should be able to reclaim their stuff. [hopefully.] | ||

The old one never managed to run maps larger than 4x4 smoothly, but with the new one I had 100fps in those maps, so I figured I play around with some bigger maps and see what happens. Turns out I get pretty nice fps even with maps as large as 8x8 (get like 50fps at embark still). But: With larger maps, I get lag-spikes every 10 seconds or so, the screen freezing for a second or longer before things continue, making the game quite unplayable. The fps never drops below 40, though. Is that a known issue, and if so, is there a way around it? I'd really like to play on larger maps. :/ I'm currently playing a 4x4 embark with 200 population cap, temperature turned on and weather turned on on a computer with an i5 2500K processor. Now in my 12th year and FPS is falling below 40FPS regularly for sustained periods. This is after many FPS boosting measures such as stopping all flowing water and magma, reducing clutter through atom smashing and closing off as many opened and mined out areas as possible. Next game I play I'll be using a 3x3 embark with a 120 population cap. I'd strongly recommend people choose a smaller embark size. As soon as you start doing anything complicated/interesting on a large embark, your FPS plummets, even on a modern CPU. When you consider that maps are usually 100 levels deep at least, that gives you approximately 1.5 million squares to explore and utilise on a 3x3 embark. Should be enough to keep you busy for a while...  | ||

Should be enough to keep you busy for a while... The problem I have, though, is not seemingly an FPS issue. My FPS never dropped below 40, and yet the game stopped for 1-2 seconds at a time, which totally breaks the flow of the game. I suspect some kind of bug, but I have no idea yet what it is. :/ You're right, though, a lot of the fun, interesting things do kill FPS in general, even on faster machines. (Hello, ocean!) | ||

I had setup my melee squads with iron headwear, footwear etc., checked out the military tab and it showed the equipped icon. Great I say, lets kick those 10 goblins back to the hole they crawled out from... This quickly resulted in flying limbs, punctured guts and maybe a lost head. To avoid more fun, how do you get the dwarves to actually equip the goddamn armor?  | ||
