A dwarf can only gain strand extractor skill from, emh... procesing sugar canes to make sugar, which later another dwarf will use to make candy, right?

If a dwarf with Great strand extractor arrives at my fort, is it because my civ has been making candy, or because he's a so called "void dwarf"? (first year, first autumn)

Void Dwarf.  Skills are randomly generated on arrival to try to fill in either skills you're using a lot of or skills that aren't available in your fort yet.  You won't see candy coming from the caravan.

awww.

Sorry Urist mcstrandextractor, you're a thresher now.

You know, the workings of a thresher probably aren't too different to that of a strand extractor.

Also, how old is the world your fort is in? I think you can get Strand Extractor dwarves that aren't void, but world gen has given them skill in their labor from nowhere.

True void dwarves can sometimes have labors that cannot be gotten in conventional means, like Military Tactics. So that's a sure sign.

Yeah, I once had a civilization that had only settled in freezing biomes so far bring me a grand master wax worker.
