Quick one. My fort has 3 farm plots. One for plump helmets, one for Sweet pods and one for Quarry bushes.

The plump helmet one is filled with seeds, and is not a problem. However, the two others are totally ignored by my two farmers. They just hang around with no job until a plump helmet grows. Except for bushes, there is ONE planted.

There is a crop assigned for each season and I have plenty of seeds ( 200 ) that are also at reach ( 5 feet away )

There can't be a crop of Sweet Pods or Quarry Bushes assigned each season... they only GROW two seasons per year.

*nitpick* Quarry bushes grow during 3 seasons.

Quarry bushes are one of the odd underground crops, not as straightforward as the others.  I think you have to process them at a farmer's workshop in order to get seeds back (and to have cookable leaves, the raw harvested leaves are not cookable).

"One of"? The only straightforward underground crop is the plump helmet.

That'll help?

According to magmawiki - yes, it will reduce clutter

Does changing [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POP_SIEGE:3] work with an already existing save?

And is baron appointing still bugged? The bugtracker says it's been fixed but I hadn't been able to elect my tin-loving baroness until the third year with 50+ pop and the caravan already departed (like in the previous versions) so I'm kinda confused.

Use lead bins (or platinum, sth very heavy)

Gold is significantly denser than lead and seems to be super-abundant in this release, so it's probably your best bet for bins. Note that it will take a really long time for your dwarves to haul heavy metal bins around, so put the forge near your stockpiles.

How to completely stop immigration? To make migrants never come at all? I'm trying to create the fortress where only one family lives: male and female dwarves at the beginning then their children, then the children of their children... and so on. But migrants are coming despite of population cap 1 in d_init being put. It's too ennoying to kill them and requires some actions to rest their ghosts souls (i have not succeeded in it yet, but i expect i'll get rid of these damn ghosts).
Sorry, this question should have been discussed somewhere, but it's too difficult to find it.

The first migrant wave is hardcoded I think, the ones after that should stop if your population already exceeds the cap.

Shut off acces and let the migrants die would be your only option to stop the first I think. Or creative use of magma.

I have a cylcops locked inside a box with a floodgate to let him out...if I let him out during a goblin siege, will he attack the goblins?

[Jelle]

Unless the cyclops is somehow a  member of the goblin civ, yes it should attack the goblins I believe.

There were five or six migration waves already...

Yeah, it's that I'm doing. But first three ot four waves were sunk in a mirky pool while it was raining (i dried it to make my field), their bodies remained on the bottom and three ghosts appeared. I expect the necessity to bury migrants or the ghosts will continue to appear. It's ennoying.
Another thing is that fortress reputation becomes worse if there are a lot of dead dwarves. It may not matter though...

They just don't stop! My population cap is 30 but they keep coming and coming and coming. 52 dorfs right now.

Water doesn't spread diagonally, right? If I build a dam like this:

WDDD
D---

Where W is water, D is dam (wall) and - is the river floor, then it won't flow diagonally between those walls, right?

Water does spread diagonally. It'll flow.
It's the way to make water pressure normal.

Half of my fortress population jus drowned.

Shoulda waited for that answer...

Hey about those dead migrants, you can make tablets or some such at a craftsdwarf workshop and have them engraved to memoralize a specific dwarf by an engraver, also in the craftsdwarf workshop. That way you can put a restless dwarf to rest without having to retrieve the body.

Also noticed a similar thing with migrant keeping coming regardless of pop cap, until recently however, now  things are quiet. Maybe a lot more migrant waves are hardcoded, for me it was enough to get up to 60 dwarves before it finally stopped.
