Something seems to be wrong with migrant Traders now...
« on: March 24, 2012, 12:20:54 pm »

Specifically, they don't get flagged as migrants.  Instead, they just pop up on the map as "Friendly" units and halt the migration wave in progress.  Am I the only one who's having this happen?  'Cause it's happening an awful lot; I've got 3 Friendly Traders wandering about outside my fort now.

Jesus man, learn to search.  >:(

YES, it happens. Has been happening for about a month now. They tend to leave with Dwarf caravans, afaIk. They're 'armless and only a minor nuisance. They do bottleneck incoming migrants but as soon as they step aside more pass through.

 Sorry I didn't spend 10 minutes sifting through search results to find what I was looking for.  I'd seen no mention of it since I returned to the boards, so for all I knew, it was a bug introduced in the latest version.

Hello SkyRender,

Judging from your formulation, it seems as if you had been absent for a while. Therefore, I am not sure whether you are aware of the move to mantis.

Currently, bug reports are no longer meant to be handled via the boards, but rather via the separate mantis page. This has the advantage that you can easily search only through the bug reports and get good results on your searches relatively easily. The bug in question can be found here.

I hope this information is useful for you. BTW, you seem to be correct about the trader migrant bug being new to the 0.34.x versions.

Yours,
Deathworks

Type 'migrant' and 'friendly' in the search bar.

Hardly 10 minutes.
And that was just the 3rd topic.

 Thank you, that was very helpful!  I have indeed been gone since before the Mantis system was fully implemented; I left around the time it was announced, but before it was actually implemented.  I'll check there next time I encounter any new bugs.

I opened a similar thread some time ago. If you get them in these numbers they may hang around untill goblins wipe them out, after which they have to be burried like usual. I had some 1/3rd of all migrants like this, really stopping me progressing. Don't seem to have it in 34.06 anymore though, so far.
