Population Cap?
« on: April 07, 2012, 09:32:38 am »

How do I modify my raws to either stop migrant waves or just cap the amount of dwarfs I have? Because im at 115 dwarfs right now, and at the rate im getting migrants my FPS is going to be dead by the end of the year.

If you go into the raws you can change the population cap. I think the default is 200, so you might benefit from that.

from your main DF folder:
->data\init\d_init.txt

change [POPULATION_CAP:200]
to whatever you want your max to be (roughly)

df folder, data, init, open d_init and go down untill you see something like

[POPULATION_CAP:65] (yup, I set it at 65)

this wont stop babies, there's a seperate limiter for that directly below it.

Also note that migrant waves will only stop being sent once you're at the limit.
A fortress of 64/65 can still get a 20 migrant wave.

I had it at 60 earlier. I was actually hoping of 80/90ish dwarfs, but migration stopped at 61. The fort before that I had 70 as limit and it stopped with a very logical 115. Also, note that someone (liaison/caravan) has to report that you're sick of the migrants before they stop.
