Population limit
« on: January 07, 2011, 12:29:56 pm »

I've set my population cap to 120 before embark. I wasn't that worried when my population reached 120, but now immigrants arrived and I din't think my
machine can take it. I'm already at 15-20 FPS as it is.

So my question - what can be the reason the immigrants are still coming despite setting the cap and is there a way to fix it.
I'm using Civilization Forge if that's important.

I think the cap is for dwarfs minus childs. Check your number of babies and children, and set a restrictive cap for them too, look in the init it's another entry. Then lower your pop cap some more and kill of any useless dwarfs.

there's a lot. "accidental" mining accident, "accidental" drop into magma, "accidental" drowning, "accidental" starvation in room, "accidental" use for ambush bait, and so on.

You get my point.

NOTE: Kill off dwarves with no friends (such as useless migrants and outcasts) to prevent unhappiness and a tantrum spiral.
