So if I have a dwarf that's stuck as a Trebuchet operator, is there anything I can do to force him to change back or should I just write him off? It's been 4 months now when I originally did the reaction for 2.

If I recall properly, there was a workaround involving DFHack in "Known Bugs" manual section.

Idk if it's mod-related, but I haven't got any migrants for 4 years now. Trowing away another fortress (last one, I guess I'll retry the next year or so)
Had the "no migrants" announcement one year and then zero others. With 14 dwarves and:

- no caravans killed
- enough wealth created
- always traded and left the merchants happy

Idk what to think.

Civ dead? (Create a copy and abandon, or use an autosave if you have those enabled, and check through legends for your civ's population.)

Is your site accessible to your civ (not completely surrounded by mountains or seas/oceans)?

[Gatallorsith]

Thx niveral, will check legends but It wasn't dead after creation.
Site accessible to all civs, I had only the fist two waves then nothing. I also checked the possible bugs relative to immigration but there was none.
Will edit here after I've checked legends.

PS: oh and I also have low fps (50-70), but Idk if It's a symptom of something or not (on the map I only have a brook)

It's not really mod related.  I think you can also check by go to your "c"ivilizations menu inside fortress mode, click on your own civ and if it says "this land has no important leaders" then you will probably never get more migrants.  Depending on your preferences it can be fun to play out if you have critical mass to have some growing families, especially in Masterwork kids grow up faster, but 14 dwarves is pretty small population of course so maybe it's not fun for you.  If find in legends that your world happens to have another civ of the same race that isn't dead, you might be able to abandon and reclaim.

[Gatallorsith]

(I'm with dwarves)

SO:

- civ figures\leaders still there
- In the legend viewer, I read:

Populations

16331 Dwarves
10 Dwarf Outcasts
5 Mountain Tuskox Outcasts
1 Wagon Outcasts

I really don't know what to think
edit: anyway..deleted all.

Make sure you don't have the population cap set super low or anything.  If it was set to 0 you get the first two waves then nothing.

Low?? I'm lucky if I get that initially a couple of years in I'm 10 fps at most

In my last fort, human mode, 4 years, ocean 3x3 embark, I had stable 150 FPS. Didnt breach the caverns though, as humans are usually aboveground only. Are you doing a lot with liquids, or is your CPU a bit older?

I have to say that even on my older computer, it wouldn't dip bellow 100FPS until I get a fairly high population (80+).

The only things that can really impact FPS are:
* Really high amount of items (the game tracks every item, so it takes its toll after a while).
* High number of people and creatures, because of path finding.
* Lots of moving liquids (waterfalls, among other things, and apparently waves).
* Temperature flickering with moving magma. Can be solved by temporarily switching off temperatures in the launcher (a lot of reactions won't work as a result of it though)
* Contaminents (blood and other stuff), because it tends to multiply as people walk on it and spread it. Can be solved with the "clean all" dfhack command.

cheapy laptop I got when I lost my better one, I'm surprised at some of the things it can handle. It probably shouldn't be able to handle some of the things I've got it to do *lol* I'm looking forward to trying MWDF on the new computer when I get it

Does anyone know what the "analog" for turkeys would be in dwarf mode, when you have the additional animals enabled? Eg, I don't have any "pedestrian" animals like turkeys or chickens, but beetles and such.

I've got harder farming off. Any suggestions on what egg layers would be good to keep around?

[Meph]

See the manual.

The dwarven bird is the bearded cavernkeet. Otherwise reptiles can be used for egg production, like frill lizards or the mentioned cave beetles.

Not the best alternatives as they lack the majestic beards of the cavernkeets. But if youre desperate...

[Meph]

Beetles give chitin, and frill lizards hunt vermin.
