Let us limit immigration wave sizes
« on: February 23, 2008, 04:59:00 pm »

Sometimes when you get huge immigration waves it's just overhwelming and it feels like you're just trying to keep up with immigrants rather then working on your awesome lavaduct/labyrinth of doom/whatever.

It would be great if you could put something init like

[MAX_IMMIGRATION_WAVE:10]

Thanks for listening!

Seeing as I represent a fair number of dwarves, we're gonna say THIRTY-NINTHED.

Fortiethed.

This would also allow [MAX_IMMIGRATION_WAVE:0] for those who just want the orignal seven, plus births.

I'd never really cared how big my waves were, but I'll go ahead and fourty-third this or whatever number we're at.

As the liaison for the 184 dwarves of Tulonem, also known as Roadeast, I would also like to make this request. My dwarves have been very industrious in order to purchase supplies from the trade caravans and send back plentiful offerings, and the mass amounts of wealth that they have created has attracted far too many dwarves from the mountainhome. My dwarves are, as painful as it is for me to say so, still using outdoor smelters and forges. This undwarvenly behavior is caused in large part by the massive influx of immigrants requiring new bedrooms, larger farms, more stills and kitchens, and other assorted necessities, the details of which are far too boring to get in to, all of which have diverted resources from more pressing issues. We hope, sincerely, that out request is honored, and respectfully remind you that our fortunes rise and fall together. Thank you and good day, sirs.

(Yes, I know that I can limit pop cap and raise it as I see fit, but that's a pain in the ass. And from what I hear, it's not entirely effective anyway. I don't mind getting immigrants; just not so many at a time...)

Rubbish. Food is not a problem. I have 140 dwarf fortress and don't even have a farm.

I need more migrants... send those you don't want to me!

I'm losing dwarves by the second! zombie condors, zombie giant eagles, zombie bighorn sheep, fire imps, ambushes, starvation, dehydration, imprisonment...
