Migration Issues
« on: October 20, 2010, 05:14:37 pm »

Okay, so I'm playing 0.31.16, and I'm not getting an migrants.
This has actually happened to three forts now, I get about two waves of Migrants and the suddenly it stops, leaving me with about 15-25 dorfs and only natural reproduction to keep the fort alive.

I searched the forum and saw one other person mention this problem - but it wasn't the main topic so he didn't get an answer. :P

Not that it's really that much of a problem, seeing as they're now not cramped into using the hospital as a massive dorm, but if it keeps it up like this, I'm gunna end up with a bigger fortress than these 20 can manage!
(Also, just a quick note, I double checked my Population cap in the d_init.txt file, and it's set to 200. I'm assuming it doesn't divide the cap by 10.)

So THIS is how migrations start.

In the game, press the "c" key. See if your civilization has any important leaders. If not, you're a dead civ, and those migrants are the only ones you're going to get.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Well, would you look at that.
That'd explain the lack of caravans too.

Now to see if I can twiddle my thumbs and eventually adopt another dorf civilisation if they ever get around to my fort.

To prevent this from happening from now on, you can use the tab key on your embark screen and use + and - to select a civ to embark as. If they show up on the embark world, they're live, and you won't have to worry about a lack of slav--er...migrants.
