Seemingly no attribute gains?
« on: September 07, 2016, 02:00:11 am »

So I started playing again just recently(43.03), something I noticed in Dwarf Therapist and later when checking my dwarfs in game is noone seems to be gaining attribute stats like I remember.  I remember before I could grab my Legendary Miner and he would be super strength, bulging muscles, super tough and all that. But now it seems to have no affect at all. Is this no longer a thing? Is it a bug?

When did you stop playing?

Attribute training is still in game, but it takes a while - there's only a chance to get +3 or +6 attributes per job. There's also attribute rust. I'm not sure, but I think it was like 1,5 years of sitting in 4+ water for maxing out strength? (Legendary swimmer would arrive in less than third of the time)

For instance, I find legendary dodgers tend to have maxed out agility, but not necessarily spatial sense, which has much higher cap.

I've played on and off for a while hard to say exactly when. But its kinda the fact my miner is 1465/2798 strength while he has 54k mining experience(raw level 26) so well past +5 legendary. The other stats are roughly the same if not a bit worse off 966/1901 for endurance, which means I started out at 901(your max is double your starting or starting+average for race whichever is higher, dwarf average is 1000), so after mining for ridiculous amount of time he got just +65 endurance experience.

Just seems waaay too low.

Yeah, mining doesn't train stats much, looking at my miners. It probably depends on job, I'd guess that endurance was perhaps gained by some other way.

im playing 43.03 too and have similar experience. Is it known which version got this nerf first? Or is this a bug?

I don't know what other tasks do comparatively, my legendary carpenter seems to be about the same, even creativity has only raised about 100 points on him but my soldiers most definitely get decent stat increases, it just seems off to me, like I don't expect all the stats to become monstrous but after mining for 3 years straight you'd think they would gain a bit more muscle mass then they do.
