Ooh. Free loot. Best way to look at it really.

Its all garbage though, garbage which takes up a massive number of hauling jobs and also exposes all of my dwarves to ambushes.

That is not an accident...

This is why people build huge pump stacks reaching to the lowest levels, so they can flood the crap out of the surface with magma.  Alternatively, sieze the good stuff from the elves and encourage them to leave well before the human caravan gets there.

I'll probably just disable caravans. I don't really like caravans to begin with, I generally don't find them useful for trade since the trade agreements are meaningless. If I request only steel and they bring just 4 bars of steel per year, that is not useful.

[Naryar]

Request iron bars, steel bars, wood, coal, pig iron, flux and iron ore. So you will probably have more steel if you get a steelmaking industry.

How do you disable caravans?
Does it also stop migrants?

[Hyndis]

Its easy to disable caravans but it does require a new world to be generated. You can either outright delete a civilization, or give it the [BABYSNATCHER] tag so it becomes hostile. While a hostile civilization won't send caravans after you, it will still visit from time to time...

Or you could remove the [ACTIVE_SEASON:X] tag.

Think more dwarfish. Design an inward flushing system, using pumps to draw the junk down onto a grate, then you can forbid everything there, and pick through the good stuff. Now, pull a lever to open a bridge a level beneath, then open the grate. Close grate, lower bridge. All junk gone.

[Hyndis]

I've tried out those bridge of doom systems, and I prefer not using them just because of how incredibly efficient they are.

There is much more honor to be gained by vanquishing an enemy in glorious hand to hand combat rather than by slaughtering them with ginormous machines that they have no hope of defeating.

Honor and glory are very important!

This is the way I have done it.  You can change it back and forth at will in your world as you play.  No need to re-generate.

Hmm, interesting. Good to know. I thought any changes made to the entities file required a regen.

[Triaxx2]

I only meant to use it to smash the excess junk. Dwarfineering FTW.

I think using the underground cavern pillars to build your burrows would be great fun. An outer Fort on the surface, and an awesome inner path to connect to your dwarf metropolis built within the stalactites and stalagmites.
