It seems the infamous Trader Bug has struck again.

[knutor]

What did 'u' indicate he was doing while he was acting like blockade?  No Job?  And did he have that new migrant X blinking over himself?  Curious.  Prolly can't get him to show in 'u' til he arrives at the meeting zone.  That is strange. 

Not sure what is going on, hope somebody has a fix.

Try painting a meeting area over him?

probably trader bug. His wife, while listed as blacksmith, has quite a few social skills.

Em, out of a huge wave of 26 immigrants, 9 so far are sitting at the edge of the map, none of themself calling themself a trader. Is this bug that serious? I had thought it would be one or two.

a total of 14 are idling at the edge of the map now, a full third of my fort. I expect this to continue to become a larger and larger problem. Unless the problem of burying caravan guards, the way they seem to behave, is fixed, I'm going to end up over my ears in ghosts.

Migrants acting odd in this fortress, I'm in now.  Latest wave, according to Therapist has some dorfs that were came earlier, from earlier waves.  Its crazy confusing, since Therapist also shows traders and zombies. 

You say you got a meeting zone?  Someone said they linger on edge, if there is none.  The starting caravan is a meeting zone, if ya take it apart for wood too soon without a meeting zone, what you mention happens.  Try setting up a table, to meeting.  Or a well or activation zone.  See if that moves them.

[Garath]

meeting zone, dining hall and statue garden. It's not the normal immigrants, but the @ ones that hug the edge, barely moving, blocking the way. They dont list as fort members in (u).

That's a pretty serious bug, almost game-stopping.  Hopefully Toady realizes and fixes it.

in 34.02 I was getting TONS of immigrants that had 11's.  In fact if they had any experience in a skill at all it would be 11.  No 10's, no 12's, just 11's.  Never seen the loitering before tho...

[Garath]

must be the modding/editing I did, it's not the trader bug. First, it's many, many more units than reported before and the dwarf caravan just left and everyone is still there. I'm making a copy of the save for the report and then continue untill the first ambushes to see if they'll be killed, then find out if their ghosts will rise and if I can slab/bury them.

Yeah. 02 had really high skilled immigrants.

34.05 seems to have stopped it tho.  With the exception of some lv11 Trackers, I haven't gotten much over lv3-4, and those are military skills usually.  On about combined wave 20, or so here.  Bin dabbling with 05 for a couple nights. 

I hardly ever get socials tho.  Running with labor lists set to no, here.  I'm seeing trends however, Trackers always visit with decent military skills.  The zilch in Observation makes locating k filth, TOUGH!  Knutor

This.

I asked this before but got no answer: does the trader bug bug 1/3rd of the migrants, including children and is it still that bug if they don't leave with the traders, as reported in the trader bug (at least in some cases)?
