I'm sorry. In my experience, DF's early months in-game are usually around five or six idlers, then a burst of activity when I get my food stockpiles and stuff set up, then back to five or six until I get my indipustry rolling by summer. Besides, why is the current system's tying up of labor inherently better than only having one dwarf do stuff, why is the fact tat you like low idlers proof that ideas which result in low idlers are bad, and why couldn't you just...not have the embark wagon pushed?
Well, I must say that's interesting - never thought of it that way before. I like my forts to be prepared for the migrants, which leads to lots of activity for my dwarves early on.
And it's not that I dislike generating low idlers.. it's more along the lines of "these dwarves could be put to better use than just standing around".

Anser for the quatum storage wagon- W8 limet
W8 limet? Do you mean some kind of limit? What is a W8 limet/limit?
I think that means "weight limit".

My forts usually give migrants plenty of stuff to do, usually in the wall-building, clay-gathering, hauling, and cannon-fodder fields.
