No Migrants at all?
« on: July 30, 2014, 06:48:14 am »
Hi there!

Currently i am playing my first fort since the big update. It is now two years old and there have been no migrant wave at all. There had been a goblin diplomat from my mountainhome (why a goblin?), traders of all kinds but no migrants. Who can i do?

World Info: 250 Years Old, middle size, Version:40.05, etc

Greetings,
Lanie

You copied over your d_init didn't you?

make sure there's a strict population cap in d-init, without one no migrants or babies, ever. They were added to fix the pop-cap issues. You can find an example in the vanilla files.

I will try it! 1 Second!
Edit:

PopCap is already: 200 and i took the vanilla version from the LNP 40.05 R1. Do you think i should try the version from the original toady download? Or should i switch to R2?

your init file should have the following:

[POPULATION_CAP:200]
[STRICT_POPULATION_CAP:220]

What you're missing is probably the 2nd line. I found that missing in mine after comparing it to the vanilla (in addition to the 30 or so tree settings)...I just made the adjustment so I don't know if it'll "fix" my current save game or if I'll have to start over.
