I've been reading around a bit about changing skill exp gain. Specifically, I want to reduce the rate at which dwarves gain military/mining exp, and remove skill rust completely. I saw in this thread:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=61016.0

that to remove rust you change values like this

Phys/Ment rate default: 500
   [PHYS_ATT_RATES:STRENGTH:50:NONE:NONE:NONE]
        etc.


   [MENT_ATT_RATES:ANALYTICAL_ABILITY:50:NONE:NONE:NONE]
   etc.

This can be done for running fortresses/existing worlds too, by editing it into
df_folder/data/save/region/raw/objects/creature_standard.txt

If you wish to turn of skill decay too, add this:
Skill rate default: 100
   [SKILL_RATES:100:NONE:NONE:NONE]

However, that thread is 6 years old at this point, and in creature_standard themselves I can only find this:

Attributes for dwarves are still described in terms of the median value below, but the actual game effects are altered according to the raw numbers.  The numbers are different percentile values.  1000 is the human median for all attributes, so dwarven strength, for instance, has a higher median of 1250, although they suffer from their smaller size.

[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:STRENGTH:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250]
etc.

Are the rates displayed? And does that advice still work? And lastly, can I pick and choose which particular skill rates I want to change?

Those tokens are all still the same.

I was curious about where those tags are, but I figured I'd just try putting them in creature_standard and that they just aren't displayed normally. Seems to be working.

Thanks!
