Stop the Migrants
« on: September 19, 2014, 05:58:29 pm »
So I've started myself a challenge fort of sorts, where I run several small forts that are somewhat interdependent on one another, but mostly isolated from each other, and completely separate from the outside world. I've already figured most things out, but is it possible for me to turn off immigration without stopping natural births? I want this thing to grow organically once I've got a decently sized seed population, and see how long I can keep it running without having to deal with the many, many ghosts that will inevitably appear.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

I thought this was going to be an Australian politics thread for a second there.

You can turn off immigration in the INIT file.

You're looking for these lines in d_init:

Code: [Select]
[POPULATION_CAP:200]
[STRICT_POPULATION_CAP:220]
Set your population_cap low, and your strict population at whatever you want.  That will prevent immigration and still allow births.
