v0.31:Skill

xTATTEREDx  · +FINE+  · *SUPERIOR*  · ≡EXCEPTIONAL≡  · ☼MASTERWORK☼

Skills are used by dwarves to accomplish almost every task. Higher skills allows dwarves to accomplist tasks more quickly, but also more effectively (for example mining and crafting). Using a skill will grant experience in that skill, allowing the dwarf to reach higher skill levels.
Skills now become rusty and eventually very rusty after a certain period of time. The exact effects of this are yet to be discovered, but it is safe to assume the effect is negative. ^v0.31.11

Skill levels are as follows:

• Dabbling
• Novice
• Adequate
• Competent
• Skilled
• Proficient
• Talented
• Adept
• Expert
• Professional
• Accomplished
• Great
• Master
• High Master
• Grand Master
• Legendary

Skill penalties

Dwarves that are Template:L will work slower and produce lower quality goods. For some tasks like wood cutting or furnace operating this is unimportant, but you may wish to halt construction of Template:L Template:Ls, or remove the designation on those diamond or native aluminum clusters if your Template:L or Template:L are famished and hollow-eyed from lack of sleep.
