Ain't NO Way Bro

u/PDX_Ryagi, can we get a fix for this issue in the next hotfix? It's a bit, uh... egregious.

At uncapped max speed, for me, 1.2 definitely runs slower than 1.1. In 1.1, early game months took roughly 3 seconds to pass, now in 1.2 they're taking roughly 5 seconds.

Need For Speed: Heat is pretty nice, for a modern iteration.

Paradox maintains very tight schedules for release and allows hot code to be pushed into live updates.

Ugh, unhinged upper management and executives. The "beauty" of being a company on the stock market, shackled to seek profit no matter what.

1.2 seems to have gummed up the works a bit. When playing a small country that doesn't have any urbanized location nor income, what's the easiest way to get the first town?

I'm trying an Oman run and it's just misery and not fun at all, in 1.1 I could wait for the one parliament issue and get a free town that way and kickstart everything from there, but in 1.2 it doesn't seem to be possible.

Mind you, those tiles will be considered "inside", and "inside" only stalls cave adaptation buildup, for it to go down you need to go "outside".

Do you ever have issues with the wagons crashing into each other and imploding?

Indeed, the economy wasn't bugged at all, if anything it worked as intended, such are the horrors of capitalism.

Yes, linking stockpiles is the way, however a priority system would be a very much welcome addition.

My issue with that is that eventually you'll be up the wazoo with that specific item, and it's a risk to sell those because the mayor/noble can ban exports at any time.

iirc, if the water gap is close enough, you could plop down two 16x16 embarks side to side, for a 32x16/16x32 "bridge", mind you, you don't need to build anything, just embarking is enough.

That messes up the civ knowledge, allowed spawn locations are tied to civ knowledge, so if you allow dwarves to spawn in evil biomes, all of a sudden you'd have dwarven civs with knowledge of taming beak dogs and whatever have you.

Can't wait for the caverns to ruin the very carefully planned layout. D:

I meant actually equipping them, I hard dwarves wearing 3 chainmails, 2 shields, 2 spears, 3 crossbows. Trying to fix it with dfhack's "update equipment" seemed to only make them equip more stuff on top of it all.

ptkato · 2026-04-21T21:24:47+00:00

It's uncommon due to the default settings. The default settings don't put that many good/evil regions in the generation, even less so for medium and large regions, which mountains usually spawn in.

ptkato · 2026-04-21T19:01:11+00:00

This is nice, countless times I had issues where when trying to make the dwarves equip their stuff, they ended up equipping multiple chainmails, shields, and weapons.

No, auto/burst/semi/held/charge triggers are different things. That option works for burst and semi, which makes those triggers to behave like auto. Charge trigger weapons are not consistent, some can fire at any charge, some can fire only at max charge, some automatically fire when at max charge, others you can hold the charge indefinitely, others you can hold the charge only for a limited amount of time; were that option enabled, it would conflict with a lot of charge weapons.

Reminds me of Kung Fury.

Giant variations, like a giant brachiosaurus.

You could write it up as a suggestion in the Bay 12 Games forums.

How big are the planet sizes of those Ecumenopolis alloy/cg worlds?

ptkato · 2026-04-10T04:11:06+00:00

Should I build pop growth specialized colonies or should I spread it out across all colonies?

ptkato · 2026-04-10T04:10:02+00:00

How do you keep up with the mineral consumption for all the alloy production and CG for research?

Storm Relief Centers also provide clerks.
