Summary0003036: Dwarves losing all skills after squad station cancelled
DescriptionCertain dwarves have been losing all their skills after a squad station has been cancelled. Not entirely too sure what skills they had before they were activated, but after they get deactivated, they revert to Peasants

A long running fort carried over since around 31.03, I believe it's close to 10 years in.

Damn, accidentally submitted this as I was researching the problem. Curse this laptop and it's over-sized enter key!

Anyways, majority of the skills are getting bumped to Dabbling. I thought it might have been the natural skill loss (it is a very old fort after all), but one of my secondary miners has been afflicted by this, and I'm pretty sure her mining skills weren't rusty in the least, as she's been tasked with expanding bedrooms and such for quite awhile now.

Anyways, I've got 12 fully manned squads in this fort, so keeping track of all the military dwarves is going to be tough, but I'll be more vigilant in the coming game years to see if this is just natural skill rust, or something else.

You didn't by chance hit the 'c' key and hide their combat skills, did you (have to ask)?

Are you able to upload a save demonstrating the problem? http://dffd.wimbli.com/

Also, "Peasant" is a profession for civilians who have no civilian skills -- Peasants may still have military skills (as Dwarfu said, make sure you didn't hide those).

I use Dwarf Therapist to monitor my dwarves, and I constanly see military dwarves losing their civilian skills. They just get turned off. Therapist cannot turn them back on either, but they can be re-activated manually through the in-game menus. I have no idea what causes it, although I have used station a few times and then cancelled it. I will attempt to track this better for you also.

KahunaGod: you're confusing skills with labors, and the behavior you're seeing is probably explained by 0003100.

With no reply from the OP, no save to test, and no other reporters supporting this report, I'm going to assume it was user error.

DarkerDark, if you are able to supply more information on this report, please reopen it and post your findings.
