I wish to create a survivalist themed game where you are controlling the last dwarves in the world.  You will never receive immigrates and traders will never come.  How can I do this?

[LegoLord]

Set the population cap in the init.txt file to 1 and ignore the caravans.  This way you don't have to generate a new world.  Seriously, if you don't want to use them, just don't. 

Everyone wants to solve it with modding instead, like the real-world obesity problem.

Or generate a world where all the dwarves have died. There are a couple of topics about those.

Or, if you want a modded world, change the dwarf entity to start with only one breeding pair and a maximum population of 2, and let history run for at least 300 years. That way, Adam and Eve can't have children, nor can they survive world gen, so you're guaranteed to get an "extinct dwarf" world.

Remember that you only get one fort like this, though. If you abandon a fort, future forts will get immigrants (though no caravans. Or nobles, I think).

It seems that if you do not trade, goblins and kobolds will never come after you and your stuff. I did some testing, but I'm not sure yet, though that [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE] tag certainly isn't just for show...

I will continue my experiments, but is someone perhaps able to provide more accurate information already? And if the sad fact is confirmed, can removing the tag be a workaround to that?

[Zaranthan]

Toss some crafts near the edge of the map. Successful kobold thievery might work (and will definitely cause kobold ambushes, at least).

The [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_TRADE:?] tag does do something. A possible workaround would be to change the tag to [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_POPULATION:?] so that they show up when your population gets large enough, or to [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_PRODUCTION:?] so they show up when you have generated enough wealth, but you don't have to trade it.
