Imported wealth always many times exported wealth???
« on: September 18, 2011, 11:46:31 am »
How is it possible my imported wealth is over 300K and my exported wealth is only 80K?  Caravans visiting me always make a profit, so shouldn't exported be higher than imported?

Then he made grudge wit about 20 other dwarfs (still don't know why - perhaps they were stealing his chair).

That adds to imported wealth?  oh.  Didn't think it did since I'm not buying anything from them.  But I guess I should have looked at my z-screen more closely...   Created Wealth, Imported Wealth and Exported wealth are the only categories, so the only possible accounting for the stuff that gets left by invaders is 'imported'.

Yep. Invaders and migrants both add to imported wealth, technically.

Anything brought onto the map counts as an import. Im not sure if it stays as imported when it leaves the map, but yeah.

Just to point it out, that's a lot of goblinite.

If you decorate the items, it becomes yours.  Invest in dyed pig tail images, and you can turn goblinite into "yours" by laundering it with a fancy image.
