Bailed out of my last evil biome, migrants were too scared to come, but I had about 100 coffins full of dead and a ghost or two, who would just not settledown.

Try this aswell, because before my waves dried up, I had stuck waves. dfHack fixmerchant. Not sure if that did it, for me, or if exterminating the guests lingering in the topside pools and floating in space did it. If the guests are not pathing off map, you maybe have a bug, which is also stopping things from pathing on.

But if you get that.. did not attract migrants msg, its prolly not a bug. Bad luck, some embarks have few neighbors.

Update:

It broke the caravan. Only their horses pathed off map edge. 5 merchant elves were arrested. I think, merchants hung around tavern after their Interviews. Gained no criminal knowledge, from them, but their stuff is in Depot. Dunno what relationship did, should look... hmm

Incidently, I sold some metalcaged criminals to them, got them back. One was 'Opposed to Life' Interviewed them all, AGAIN!

Odd thing. Split coins I sold to them, into 1 stacks, came back combined. Couldnt rebuy 1 stacks, part of Coinstar nerfs, I guess.

Got the 'failed to execute criminal' msg. Had a Hammerer, but no hammer. He didnt try again, when I had a hammer, or I gave up waiting, so I used dfHack 'Exterminate This' on criminals. They were mostly undead guests. Now I got caged corpses to deal with.

Farmers use artfact stool to fertilize field.

do any of you QSP your theftable artifacts? Have a dumb theory. Pitch um all in a doorless hole. Remove u/d stairs. Close/open retracting bridge over the hole. Secure, fortress Urists value stays high, for royalty visits.

In case anyone is wondering, proximity has nothing to do with these plots. My forts are near northernmost part of the map and the cave in question was all the way down south.

Was this a dorf warlord when you peeked in Legends? I am cutting my mtn caves # in half in my worldgens. Dont want an unreachable mtn cave, like that. Thank you for sharing this experience. Wierd it poofed.

I've not been getting any nice tamed pets from my last elf caravans. Overpriced acorns. bleh! I have interogated their 5 merchants, on last visit. I'd like to throw one in jail. Anyone try this? I know he didnt steal the artifact, I just wanna haul him off into jail. Will the elf-dorf relationship suffer, that they fail to return next yr, I dont want to start a war, just yet.

Thank you. Ive noticed some divine material on yhe elf instruments, Ill "createitem info" on one, to get the string required to change.

On a sidenote, I got a "boss" visiting and drinking in my All Visitor Tavern. I interogated him. He was cagey, what do you think, murder him in cold blood now?

Update: didnt murder boss, but here a couple days later, a displayed artifact got stolen in front of 9 witnesses. It was not him, but one of my performers, not a visiting performer. Will this crime boss keep corrupting my dorfs? hmm, Ive derailed this post. Sorry, bout that. moving on now.

You prolly know this. But for those that dont.. a good bedroom decor, is a terrarium, with a dorfs favorite, or most disliked vermin, inside.

Not sure why artifact creation says that, nowadays, about claiming, etc.. unless inaddition to crafter, all his family get sour stress from its theft, unlike just crafter with a mastercraft item destruction or theft.

Mooding dwarf creates artifact. Claims it as personal belonging. I make pedestal and put it on display in his (bed)room.
