Stupid Immigrants
« on: April 15, 2013, 08:52:48 am »
When I receive a new wave of immigrants, they show up in a remote corner of the region map, then just stand around doing nothing until they starve and go berserk.  They all have work enabled and there's plenty of stuff for them to do... what have I missed?

A path to your fortress, probably.

Do any of them list their profession as "Trader"?

If so, it may be a bug from caravan traders joining your fort but still having their items not owned by you, and you'll need to use dfhack's "fixmerchant" command

Those would not starve, I believe.

Elves do it in trees. Humans do it in wooden structures. Dwarves? Dwarves do it underground. With magma.

Hmm... there is a 5 space river in the way, but I thought they could swim :)

yeah, the river would be the problem, dwarves as a standard, can't swim..  and when they can, they still wont path through rivers :(

you need to build a bridge over the river.. preferably 3 wide because if migrants appear there, a caravan might too, which would be annoying, as you will get a "caravan has bypassed your inaccessible site" and no trading that season, if they appear there

I built a bridge and they got over it :)

Thanks for the help.
