Retired Fort Population Mechanics
« on: December 29, 2018, 11:03:46 am »
Right so, in the past, I've noticed that sometimes when I retired a fortress, its population shoots up. One, specifically, has really left me questioning. I had fortress of... 50-80(?) and after I retired it to start a new fort, I checked it's population and it was >300.

Do we have any idea WHAT factors into the population growth of sites? Is it somehow extrapolated from fortress wealth upon retirement? Has anyone experienced similar findings?

This conversation is getting disturbing fast, disturbingly erotic.

Uhm, I think another guy had this issue that the retired fort just accepted all petitioning visitors into the fortress, so perhaps that happened for you as well? So your locations are really popular and all the bards/monks/scholars in the world show up to get a job :)

How about job orders for automation. Are they still there upon unretiring a fortress?

Nooo...  :'( There are so many to redooo...  :'(

Can you have your adventuring Dwarf to join your fortress after unretiring it?
