15 year old kid who's not a vampire, apparently.
« on: March 21, 2012, 08:03:50 am »
Well, one of my migrants was a child who, according to her page, was 15 years old.

I immediately labelled her as a vampire and burrowed her in an empty room. But after a season, she got thirsty. I was stumped upon this and I checked the RAWs to see if my memory of growing up was false.

But no, my (savefile) RAWs still stated that after someone turns 12, they're an adult.

Is this supposed to happen? I should probably have searched for it.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

I get this a lot because I mod my [MAXAGE] way down.  She'll grow up on her next birthday.

I was going to say "lol paranoia" but you're actually legit on that accusation.

Wait a season, year max.  Aging happens at the turn of the season and you should see the child growing up within a year.

Kill everyone she knows, she'll grow up quicker if she isn't being coddled.

Wow, this is a little far even for me...

It's a new bug, my guess is it's caused by time not passing for worldgen children while you are playing. So they are 15 when they show up because you've played for 4 years, but they don't realize that makes them an adult till they've been there for a while.

Poor kid is going to skip early adolescence and land right in the middle of puberty. Make sure you have a legendary dining room so he doesn't get unhappy thoughts, aka angst.
