Darn lazy teenagers
« on: May 23, 2012, 02:48:21 pm »
For some reason I currently have a number of "children" who are age 13-15, over the age limit of 12, who yet refuse to work. They are all migrants. Why do they not seem to progress to adulthood? Is this a bug, a change, or what?

But you never see a movie where a terrible coal plant accident causes a horrible devastation, do you? Nope, everyone seems to think that nuclear plants get their energy by smacking live atomic warheads all day or something.

Status change from child to adult will occur during worldgen, or in fortresses at their birthday. When you play a fort, the world is frozen as it was at the end of worldgen- children no longer grow up until they immigrate and have a birthday. If you play long enough you'll get 40 year old child migrants.

I guess that's one way to take a year-long break... Anyway, thanks. Could be slightly useful for determing the age of your savegame, I suppose.

I must say that the solution to your problem is only a single wall away. And there seems to be at least one miner in the picture.
