In an effort to reduce lag, I try to keep my pop relatively low. Right now my population is in the mid forties, and I'm wondering if it's possible to mod the arrival conditions of nobles.

Minding the context, I specifically mean their population requirements. I can't even get the DM without at least 50 dwarves. If I now upped my pop cap I'd probably get 20-30 fugies in one wave, which is way more than I need.


Another thing: cave spider venom appears to have permanent effect, i.e. a creature will get randomly stunned even years after being bitten. Do I correctly assume that this is due to the tag called [EXTRACT_STUN_INTERMITTENT], and that it could be made non-permanent with [EXTRACT_STUN]?

There is currently no way to do that as far as I know. It should become possible in the next version with the entity position raws, but that doesn't help now.

It should be the [EXTRACT_PERMANENT] tag, actually, but I can't guarantee that.

Incidentally, the extract modification suggested in the OP would make it so that affected dwarves would NEVER MOVE AGAIN

OK, looks like I'm going to remove the [EXTRACT_PERMANENT] tag then. The fact that I won't be able to get my DM with fewer than 50 guys is disappointing, but I'll manage.

Thanks for clearing that up.

You could always just raise the cap to 50, and assign all extra migrants to the military, in a special position under a lever linked support held up roof, then change your population cap back.

That line is fucking excellent.

Anyway, I'm thinking about upping my cap and just leave the extra dwarves be, because I could use a couple more haulers and/or soldiers. Also, I think my improved performance is due to having just a tiny bit of river on my map, and to having a magma pool instead of a pipe.
