When you first suggest building the forge in the default tutorial, besides explaining that you have to build this building in top of an empty water rock, and what materials it would take, etc, you should also explain that once the forge is built then you have to hit the rock with the hammer, then you will have completed the forge. (At least that is how I got mine - and it took me hours, I got iron, charcoal, torch, etc... nothing, it was back and forth to the forums and ctrl+f forge, etc)

I apologize for not sending you a save file with more lag. The files that I had seem to have disappeared. The ones that I sent you have a rather paltry amount of lag.

Again, it hangs when loading the grassmap, when changing the day at midnight, and when using the pick-up all key.

I have seen people having the memory access
violation problem. So I'm wondering if there's anyway to fix this? because i have an old bugged version of the mod which works. Also good work on the mod

I took a look at your savegames. First, there did not seem to be any runaway scripts per se. The changeday lag is probably from the billions of scripts running on changeday. Now you're wondering, "Why are billions of scripts running on changeday?" Easy. 1. Because I'm an idiot. 2. Because your games are being spammed with ocean critters. Fish. Piranha. Sharks. Etc. I forgot that sea creatures tend to migrate a lot more than land critters, so the radius for spawners is far too small. On:changeday, you have hundreds of new creatures being spawned every day (since the spawners think there are no creatures nearby).

Should be able to fix that easily. Also cut down on the crazy ocean spawning. I started a new game, looked at the number of units (102), changed the day, new number of units was 258 or something. Most of them fish and sharks.

Now, why is it lagging while loading the grassmap? I have no idea. I'll fix what I can, and maybe that'll fix the grassmap issue, but I don't know what specifically would cause it to hang on that like it is.

Hello,

I've just installed massive mod. Everything runs fine but i don't know what i'm doing wrong when i temper the iron nails and spearheads. i put them in the forge wait for them to go red hot but then when i through water(i've tried liver, bottles and waterskin) nothing happens, the fire isn't put out and the soft iron items stay red.
Any ideas?

Thanks

My friend Ominus compiled my source code changes for me. With that done, my forge overhaul is finished. The process has been completely redone. You will *need* to start a new game.

Forging items is now much simpler-- it should be self explanatory. Put ore on the forge (hard point system like the grill), wait for it to turn red hot, pick it up to acquire workable metal, combine the metal with a hammer (while standing near the anvil), hit the metal on the anvil with your hammer until the item is finished.

The distinction between soft\hard items and slow cooling vs quick cooling has been removed. The buckets are gone.

Much more streamlined, much easier, and much less scripting\definition overhead. This means that I can add more types of metals and items, if necessary, without crying myself to sleep at night. Interestingly, this makes pottery even more useless now.

With the changes to the grill\forge system, I saw fit to remove the pick-up key from the game. It should no longer be necessary since you will not be throwing any more items.
