Migrants won't come to the fort
« on: April 11, 2011, 08:45:54 pm »

How do I get migrants to come to the fort? One of them is a great doctor, and I really need him to help a severely injured miner I have, ut he won't come to the hospital. I have him set as chief medical dwarf, and he is doing absolutely nothing else.


How can I get him to come to the fort?

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

If he and the others are just hanging out somewhere at the map edge or outside, they're unable to access the fort.

It may seem silly, but you should check all your doors and stuff to be sure there's access.

Do you have a meeting area designated either from a dining room, statue, or from the zone menu?  That usually does it for me.

Well,  just checked it again, and they seem to have teleported into the fort...


Well then, problem solved.
