SO I've been trying to make an air-lock type device, so that I can let immigrants in safely.

The way I've got it set up is:

||| Fort  |||
|||         |||
|||        |||
----==----
----==----   < - Draw bridge
\\\         \\\
\\\ Custom\\
\\\           \\
----<>-----  < - Lock Door

Inside that little "Customs" building, there's a dormitory, food, tables, everything really.

But my migrants wont come in unless the drawbridge is down and the heart of my fortress is exposed.

Is there a criteria to get migrants to move in that i'm missing?

-- Thanks!

They need some form of incentive to move towards your customs check-in. Having a meeting area or dining hall should work.

Thanks! i'll try that

Designate a meeting area inside the airlock when they arrive, remove it when they're safely inside and you're ready to let them in.

There's no need to remove it - just mark it as Inactive. That way, you can just reactivate it whenever more immigrants show up.

I have an improved version.
