I was thinking of making a fort, that would be meant to die.

The plan would be that I use an existing fort save, with rooms, dining halls, and the basics, then make a backup of the save.

I use the current fort, make almost everyone a fisher, hunter, or some kind of cook/butcherer. I set about 2 kitchens to repeatedly make food, and a fish cleaner to prepare fish.

I leave the game running for the night/school day, and come back to see what happened. No mining designations, nothing other than food orders, so the game wont pause without my knowing.

I will probably try this on December 15, I will give an overview of what happened if I don't forget.

Has anyone else every tried something like this?

[puffs]

i've tried leaving my fort running but basically after an hour or two i'm guaranteed to have a strange mood or a caravan. unless you disable trade.

[Kagus]

Isn't it possible to turn off pausing for important notices?  Just do that, and you can have anything come at you without breaking the flow.

[Slappy Moose]

I'll look for that option.

[kuribo]

Your fort won't die, it'll autopause when the outpost liason visits.

I've forgotten about my game for like 20 minutes and thats what happened.  

[Adder]

If you don't build a trade depot, will you still get the outpost liason?

[TeDDD]

My understanding is Yes.  The trade depot is necessary for the caravan to unload, but not necessary for it to arrive.

[Sularus]

what if you kill of your expidition leader/manager/broker? the liason wouldent have anyone to talk to would he still arrive?

[Balsis]

He'd still arrive, and the Dwarves would elect a new one anyway.

[Fenrir]

I lost my broker/manager/leader/bookeeper and the liaison left the moment he arrived. He wasn't too happy about it.
