Adjusting the d_init on the steam version?
« on: February 14, 2025, 11:01:11 pm »
Hey guys.

It's been a loong time since I got into DF and I was trying out the steam version. I've got a really slow computer and normally cap the number of dwarves that can arrive.
I've found the d_init and tried adjusting it but I still seem to get dwarves showing up every season. If that keeps up I'll get the "succumb to the fps" ending.

If you hit escape, go into settings, and go into the game tab, you'll find that you can now set your population cap there rather than in the d_init file. Same mechanic, just now located in-game rather than in a separate file.

Ah, thanks for that. Yeah I guess I hadn't thought to check the settings for it.

And what might hav happened is that you changed data/init/d_init_default.txt but the game was using prefs/d_init.txt
