My fortress is starting to grow, just under the 80 mark with my last migration wave. And, well, I'm getting a lot of unskilled dwarfs migrating in that I'm simply designating as "peasants" to do all the menial jobs.
Essentially, I really only want to assign labors to these guys where by the only thing that changes at higher levels is the speed of the job. I don't mind having lots of slow peasants, but I don't want peasants wasting my metal making low quality goods, if you see what I mean.
Many of the pages on the wiki seem to say what the skill affects, but I wonder if there's an overview somewhere as there's a lot of labors to trawl over…
Or maybe, what labor set do you guys allocate to your "peasants"?
Best Answer
Some labors may or may not fall into this category, depending on what actual tasks you tend to run in your workshops, and your personal play style.
EDIT: separated "only affects speed" labors from "affects quality but you probably won't care" labors.
Labors that only affect speed
Labors that affect quality (but you probably won't care)
