Hello!
Not sure if I should put this as an independent message or keep it here, since I am using DFHack to defeat a DF bug of sorts.
I was having issues with the population cap not being respected by my game. I haven't played in a couple of years, and I wanted to keep the population under 23.
I have child cap at 0:0
I originally had the pop cap at 23.
I am using LazyNewb, but I updated DFHack manually to 34.11 R3. It shows as the correct version in the command prompt.
Since I was having population issues in my other maps, I started a new one with the settings above.
Immediately upon starting the game, I tried to run the script "population-cap".
Since it was a new game and no caravan had visited yet, it threw the error and told me to run "fix/population-cap" script.
I did that, adn I got the "home civ notified" message.
I got my first two waves, before any caravan, which put me right at 23.
Each time after, I ran "population-cap" script. Got the confirmation message.
So far, so good.
Now a season or so after the first dwarf Caravan, and immediately after the first elf one, I got another wave of 14 or so dwarves, putting me at 32 dwarves. Well over my set 23.
Did I do something wrong? Is there any way to stop the inflow? I would rather manage my population at my own pace with my first game back in years. Does anyone have any advice? I'd appreciate it.
