Trader Migrant
« on: April 07, 2012, 01:50:01 am »

I just got a migrant wave, and the last migrant was a trader (with a flashing grey X so I know he was a migrant).
Problem is he has no skills, doesn't move, as if he wasn't apart of my fortress.

This is unfortunately a known and persisting issue of the 0.34 series.  The offending Trader will eventually allow the other migrants behind him to come onto the map once the Dwarven caravan arrives.

Or you can drop 1/7 lava on him, he'll burn and run, and the migrants can get past as he screams and burns.

Wouldn't that burn the other migrants behind him stepping on the same tile?

Cave in. Build a support, build a floor above and drop the piano, so to speak.

Not if you do it right, if its high enough, it'll evaporate fast enough for the migrants to be safe.

He actually did move eventually after like 5 mins of waiting.. no migrants came after him though.

could just have been the last one. You're lucky though, I had one fort where a third of migrants was like this, and not all just traders
