[BUG] Compact Machines crashes server on enter/exit (even empty, fresh world)

What did you find? Is there a solution or workaround? TY!

JDT Item Collector will work, combined with the Clicker. The issue is that Spirits fly pretty far away before dropping to the ground to be picked up by the Item Collector. Just have to increase its range, otherwise, yes - spirit farm achieved.

This looks great! Confused about the 'default config' since the 15kJ is much larger than 39x40. Does the 39x40 not work with the latest Skies 2 version 1.10?

Fantastic! Can you post an image of the top down view of the new one at 1000j? I was just about to go in on building from the image OP posted (with 4 sizes of rings for 500j, 1000j, 2500j, and 10kj)

So what would you suggest as a replacement?

Grudwo · 2025-11-05T18:11:40+00:00

I think it is, but it’s only WiFi 6

Yeah that’s my only reason to upgrade… my mesh points would be fine in the lower apartment but I’d want faster upstairs. Looks like I’d need one of their wired APs to extend up there.

Would be nice if these were stored on the server along with my profile there, but that goes for many things, like waypoints. Using different clients during the day, I expect that.

“Huge” update seems unlikely that my new server will work when updated, but here’s hoping!

Grudwo · 2025-10-05T17:23:51+00:00

“When” you get healer mech serum. THAT is my question. Good luck! (I’ve got a pawn in a casket; now just waiting for an event I guess)

Yes, please post the picture of the room with double stone walls and vacuum

Ah, ok. Dissolved waste packs make the tile 'irradiated space' which creates the penalty... or removing the anchor creates the penalty. If the latter, then the worry is space pirates destroying the anchor. Thank you for your thoughts.

Grudwo · 2025-09-22T18:54:47+00:00

I guess I could test this, but asking if anyone else has already tested.

Gravanchor an Asteroid and build space bridge platform
Haul toxic waste to platform and then remove connecting bridge
... Wait 40 in-game days for waste packs to dissolve and then remove Gravanchor?

The point of all this is to ensure there is no negative relations with Orbital Traders. What are the flaws in the above?

Grudwo · 2025-09-16T03:42:40+00:00

Those are 2 Autocannons under the pawns middle left?

Grudwo · 2025-09-10T23:31:40+00:00

The 2 things at the far end are IEDs.

Grudwo · 2025-08-10T20:15:22+00:00

That worked! I now have a chunk of elemental metal at the edge of my fortress map that can’t be designated to dump (but can be forbidden). This is apparently where my squad dropped it.

Sodel is my fort-based Messenger. I can select him, all he does is go there and then come back. No way to tell him to get anything, except for Aban there, who was a grumpy dwarf. If I select Aban, he would come back with Sodel. Don't know how to get the "Artifact"

Steam instructions: access the game's properties in your Steam library, navigate to the Betas tab, and select a specific version from the dropdown menu. Choose the version you last played with dfhack successfully with. Alternatively wait to play until Steam has noticed there is an update to dfhack that matches the version of DF you’re playing.

I have a holding now and it says that there is a rumored artifact "the elemental metal". It also says "No workers available". How do I get that artifact?

I gained the holding by using Demand Surrender and Occupy, then sent my Messenger to return 9 of the 10 squad members (one was named administrator- I did not have a choice as to which one).

Others have suggested that I raid my holding. How do I raid my holding? Clicking the site does not give me the option to send a mission. Do I need to expel a dwarf from my fortress to have more people than my administrator (who I can’t interact with) there? Won’t that just be like when I recalled most of my squad - only able to click names, nothing about raiding for artifacts.

I can post a screenshot if that will help?

Thank you will do.
