| Summary | 0010340: Soldier visitors, ignore visitor cap and act strangely | ||||
| Description | Created a fort and soldiers have been pouring in since day one. Despite having a visitor cap of 20 for a year (triple-checked init file to make sure), they keep arriving and there's about 50 of them. Furthermore, when I order the military to kill one of them, the rest of the visiting soldiers get weird and start meandering around interrupting citizens, chasing them for a second but then walking away without actually attacking them. Most of the soldiers are locked up in the former tavern (hotkey f2), but there are a few escaped ones around hotkey F6 displaying this behavior with citizens. | ||||

Can confirm this happening to me as well. |

For the visitor cap, relevant thread: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=168313.msg7625565#msg7625565 Orkel "The visitor cap doesn't work it seems, tavern keeps filling up with people even though it's set low." Toady One "I believe questers ignore the caps now. There's a gray area there and we'll have to deal with it somehow." |
|
|
While in my fortress they didn't appear until I built a tavern, after that they just don't stop coming. There must be about a hundred. Forbidding the tavern to outsiders doesn't work, though they stop socializing. |
|
|
Yes can confirm. The questers never leave the fort, keep piling up more and more until FPS death. |
|
|
Yeah, it is pretty game breaking. |
|
|
Happening to me too. I am in year 1 of the fort. Just built a tavern, I don't have many buildings yet. I've got 77 visitors, all warrior types, just piled into the tavern. They are all asking questions and seeking information. I have got VISITOR_CAP set to 25 in d_init.txt. They gradually started to leave all by themselves, but I still have about 40 left. |
|
|
Relevant info: I've had these fuckers show up even WITHOUT a tavern. Also, screenshot of early winter, second year, in a fort deliberately kept at 7 dwarves: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/173888543419006976/384398426197983244/unknown.png At least it's not as extreme as 77 in year 1, but sweet Armok. |

I had 148 visitors before the end of year one. Most were elves with a few humans scattered in. All types of visitors have been showing up. I have no locations active yet so I put all my visitors in a meeting zone right outside my fort's entrance. They are an absolutely epic meat shield... |

Anecdotally i have also experienced a dwarf soldier listed as 'friendly' not a visitor entering & leaving the map with a 90% turn west entry to north exit, seemingly pathing through my site. I currently have my eyes peeled to see if i can experience it again and get more info. Is this related to civilisations sending out artifact questers who use the road connections/travel through your site to another location? |
|
|
Another note, I've noticed if I leave the questers as a meatshield for the nearby tower, every dwarven visitor out there who dies seems to be treated as a citizen, demanding burial in MY catacombs. |

Cap-ignoring questers can also freeze out cap-respecting visitors (0010412). |
