Skill Atrophy: How do I eliminate it?
« on: September 05, 2010, 12:20:30 pm »

In my creature_standard.txt file I put the line
   [SKILL_RATES:100:NONE:NONE:NONE]
under the Dwarf entry. As I understand it, this should give them skill experience at 100% the normal rate, and set it so that their skills do not degrade under any circumstances.

However, In the spring of my fort's second year, I began to setup my first military squad, and the starting dwarf that I brought with military skills had (rusty) tags on his hammer, armor, and shield skills.

Did I do something wrong, or does the tag not actually work as intended? If eliminating skill rust completely isn't possible, Is there a way to make skills simply take "forever" to rust instead (say 10+ years or whatever)?

According to Toady that tag doesn't work properly, and he is considering adding an init option to remove skill rust.
