Moody Migrants Wont Stop Emmigrating
« on: June 24, 2012, 03:50:25 pm »
So I have noticed that since I often get impatient with my forts and will abandon mid tantrum spiral I will get my old inhabitants as migrants.  However, they will arrive in the end stages of madness.  (This seriously ruined getting a double legendary armor/weaponsmith as a migrant.  He was melancholy on appearance and is on his way out.)  Have others noticed this?  Also, these depressive dwarves seem to be family members of a good chunk of my fortress already so I am worried about the effect it will have on the current dwarves.  Or I would be worried if I hadn't just barely gotten bedrooms sorted out and a fancy dining room built.

That's what cages and minecart shotguns are for!  We don't need to control them.  We just need to aim them.

Yeah, they seem to retain their thoughts from the last fort. A good way of cheering them up is to have their entry route go by various admirable things on their way to the meeting area. So, a nice road, the trade depot, some statues, the migrant gas chambers, etc. They seem particularly keen to notice these things while arriving. I get the opposite effect, getting ecstatic migrants from forts lost to OCD and FPS.

Edit: Oh, the insane ones are screwed either way. Just keep coffins ready.

They probably arrive emigrate thinking "thank armok we got out of that hell hole" and them promptly go insane once they realise the overseer is the same as before.

Arrive.
Do no work whatsoever.
Die of starvation while throwing clothes everywhere and yelling random nonsense.
Haunt the fort you just arrived at a week ago and where no one you even know lives.
Get buried.
Rest in peace knowing you've trolled the overseer sufficiently.
