Hello, Toady!

I have a game in which the caravan did not come in either the first or the second year. It is a wasteland environment (Temperate/None/None). The metalsmith did appear in the summer, but aside from that the only creatures to show up have been a naked mole dog and some ratmen. (The naked mole dog came at a great time; I had expected to trade for food so everyone was hungry.)

My first guess was that the world location wasn't linked to a Dwarf civilization, but I imagine that the game would cull out starting locations like that. My only other guess is that no NPCs are spawning outside (in my experience there has usually at least been a Jaguar or so on such maps; nothing in two years, here.)

The world was generated with the newest version. My save is currently at the second winter. If you want, I can e-mail you the save.

Thanks again for creating such a great game, and for doing such an amazing job of maintaining it!

Somebody on IRC sent me one of these, so I should have it handled soonish.

Wonderful!

The merchants think the place is too cold for their mules, but that's because they are applying the adventure mode night-time mods as the worst case scenario.
