So, I have had 3 waves of migrants which just stand in the area where they spawned and do not appear in the list of citizens. Dwarf Therapist sees them.

The fortress is reachable by their position (by wagons, checked with D) and I have no idea what's causing them. After a while, they get killed by the local fauna, but do not register as dead - as they were never citizens.

Ideas?

Do you have a meeting hall for them to go to?

Built one, and they are not moving.

Thanks god I am in the early stages of this fortress...I can easily abandon and reclaim. Will cut on a lot of digging the second time around too.

You could try putting one of them in the army and see if a station order will make them move?

[Stormbuilder]

Can't put them in army - they are not citizens, but friendlies.


Yeah, I gues it's a bug. I mean, the area is pretty creepy and the fortress entrance is a large wall+floor building covered with rotting goo, but still, no real dorfs would get discouraged by that

it's a known bug, dfhack has a fix for it ('tweak fixmigrants' I think). It was known as the trader bug

[dexxy]

Are  they purple helmet traders? They'll just stay on the edge of the map until... they get attacked or something. Maybe they might wander over to your depot if a caravan arrives.

The important thing is that you don't attack them, accidentally or deliberately. Otherwise your soldiers will end up fighting each other.

It's a trader flag not being cleared from migrants who've been traders before (don't know if it's the only cause).

I guess I should repeat again that it's a known bug and it can be fixed with dfhack, unless you found a completely new bug but considering the similarity, I wouldn't bet on it

[Stormbuilder]

Love you all.

Fixed with DFhack
