One question:

Do hauling stone makes dwarves stronger? I think it makes sense, of not, Toady should implement this.

[Jacob/Lee]

I know operating pumps builds stats, but I'm not sure if we confirmed or disproved the hauling theory.

[Loud Whispers]

Never noticed it in .31 or .34.6, I think it has to have a skill attached to increase atributes-hauling needs no skill

[Connal89]

Yea attributes increase from skill level ups, hauling has no skill attached therefore no skill increase and no attribute points.

A strong/agile dwarf will haul heavier objects faster but Urist McScrawnyClutz won't get any better unless you send his ass to the gym.

So as an idea if you manage to work out everyones positions, removing a few of your dedicated haulers and putting them on full time air pumping duties would give them a stat buff then you could just cycle through them a few at a time. Probably a waste of time seen as wheel barrows/mine carts are probably just as fast.  Too bad pumps don't increase agility too

[SharkForce]

could've sworn i saw someone do a bit of testing and found that the attribute increase from pumping was negligible.

Tell that to my legendary pump operating militia recruit who crushed a trolls skull with his hands because he was still waiting on a weapon....

if you get lucky enough on that, even the poorest recruit with no skills can pull that off. doesn't mean that recruit got stat upgrades from pump operating (though likely killing a troll gained some from improving wrestling).

I got 50+ Strength and 250+ Endurance from training Pump Operation to legendary+5. It was worth it.
