dfhack/scripts/growthbug.lua

--growthbug: units only grow when the current tick is 0 mod 10, so only 1/10 units will grow naturally. this script periodically sets the birth time of each unit so that it will grow
--to run periodically, use "repeat -time 2 months -command growthBug now". see repeat.lua for details
