How do you keep your forts from attracting too much migrants and sieges? Even when my dwarves live in a dirt hole with communal beds and a good dining room the fortress wealth tends to spiral upwards way too easily. Just arming my military with iron increases the fortress wealth to the point that I can't keep a low profile.

Alternatively, would it be possible to mod in something like garbage crafts that would have negative value?

Bridges.

To clarify, I think peskyninja is suggesting you use drawbridges (which destroy anything underneath them when they close) to clear out expensive and unused items, thus lowering your net value.
Alternatively, he might be suggesting you atom-smash migrants.

Much easier way - Building Destroyers cannot break something on the z-level above them.  Make a stone "arch" using constructed stairs, floors and walls (preferably with a ceiling to keep out pesky air units) so they have to go up through a floor hatch to get inside your fort.  Then all you have to do is lock it yourself.

You can mod the goblin and titan trigger numbers, a stroll through the wiki should reveal the needed tags.  You can also change when humans and elves start to trade.  Maintaining a low profile is impossible without modding a little, the current limits only prevent first year summer swarms.
