A way to turn off immigrant skills?
« on: February 22, 2011, 10:05:37 am »
It really annoys me when migrants come in as anything but peasants. Why? because it keeps ruining my management, never knowing who can do what. Is there a way to force all migrants to come in as peasants only?

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

when the game pause(by default) when a wave of immigrants comes in,
open Dwarf Therapist, refresh, set the filter to migrant wave, and there you go.

i suppose i understood you correctly.

Maybe that can do it (if it is updated)

I try to catch each immigrant in a wave as it enters the map, to manage their (initial) labor setup and name (which I use to track their family, jobs, & immigration year).  While it doesn't let you set their /skills/, it does let you manage what Labors they have active - if you want all Peasants, just disabling all the Labors as they come in might get you part of what you're looking for.  It doesn't help with the Unit screen sorting though, of course :/
