How to Get More Migrants in Dwarf Fortress

Are you tired of not having enough dwarves in your Dwarf Fortress? Do you want to expand your fortress without the hassle of manual labor? Look no further! In this guide, we will show you how to request for more migrants in a specific way.Having a steady stream of migrants is important for the growth and development of your fortress. With more dwarves, you can increase production, defend against attacks, and delve deeper into the caverns. However, waiting for migrants to arrive randomly can be frustrating. That's why we'll show you how to request migrants in a more targeted way.

To start, you'll need to open the Locations Menu. The Locations Menu is where you can view all of the sites and locations within your world. To open the Locations Menu, simply press the L button.

Before we can request for more migrants, we need to assign a dwarf as a messenger. A messenger is necessary to deliver the request to the outside world. To do this, highlight the Messenger line in the Locations Menu and press the Enter key to assign a dwarf as a messenger.

Now, we need to select a Hillock on the world map. A Hillock is a small dwarven settlement that is not a full-fledged fortress. This is important because only Hillocks can request more workers. To select a Hillock, open the world map by pressing the C button and navigate to the desired Hillock.

Once you've selected the Hillock, you can request workers by pressing the R button. This will bring up a menu where you can choose how many workers you want to request. Keep in mind that this method can only be done with Hillocks.

By following these steps, you can request for more migrants in a specific way. This allows you to target areas that you want to expand or improve on, rather than waiting for migrants to arrive randomly. With a steady stream of migrants, you can take your fortress to new heights.
