Population Cap LNP?
« on: April 07, 2016, 09:58:27 am »

If I wanted to set my new world to only have a max of 20 dwarves do I set this button to 20?

No. The button controls the maximum number of fortress members migrations can result in. The strict pop cap prevents further pregnancies when reached (existing ones will proceed). I assume it will also block further petitions as well, but have no info on that.

If you wanted the world to have a max of 20 dorfs in it it MIGHT work to set the max civ pop for dwarves to 20 and the max # of dwarven civs to 1 in entity_default.txt, but I really don't know if that would work, and I certainly don't know how that would interact with a fortress (given that void dwarves are produced if no historical ones are available).

I think max pop is just for setting the max number of historical figures, isn't it?
Don't think it would effect actual dwarf population.
