<p>Hence why you occasionally get a red three star. He's good at the job, but hates it and won't improve. He'll also slack off and be a waste of space. Generally if I can afford to, I put three star slackers in other fields. (I had a three star slacker tech who lived in Oxygen 3, alternating betweeen playing his handheld, and putting out the fires on the o2 generators he wasn't maintaining.)</p>
<p>The slacker problem is an issue. Occasionally you get waste of space immigrants with 1 star in everything. The trick is figuring out the least catastrophic job to give to these yobbos (or leave them undefined).</p>
<p>Like you guys I'm collecting an impressive death count due to incompetence so I've seen some trends with 1-2 star dudes. This might just be me reading into the mysterious space incidents.</p>
<p>1-2 star security seem to be like Barney Fife armed with plasma pistols. They can't hit crap, have a propensity for melee, and I think they have a higher risk of parasitic infection. These folks also seem to like having fire fights in airlocks or res-sections.</p>
<p>1-2 star builders? Generally safe, except when they botch their job and 'forget' to build a floor, or bust into an adjacent section and suck everyone into space. </p>
<p>1-2 star miners. When I've had a lot of these, I start seeing ore pile up even with working refineries, I also think they might break the refineries faster but have no scientific evidence.</p>
<p>1-2 star techs ... hrrrrgh</p>
<p>1-2 star bartenders? So far they haven't killed anyone.</p>Green applies to aptitude, I believe.

But I had a few techs and one of my builders hit 4 stars in a skill. But they seem to need a natural knack to get that forth star. I think the color of the assignment background matters.

<p>Dunno yet. Might be tied to pub/sleep. My builder who hit 4 stars worked like crazy, drank herself into a near coma and slept. Woke up with 4 stars and started working like crazy.</p>Rare it seems. 3 Stars is good enough. But I had a few techs and one of my builders hit 4 stars in a skill.

However, if you take some time to read the wiki, you will almost be able to make sense of it. Then you have to bang your head against the screen for a while until your dwarfs start surviving.
<p>A nice alternative to DF is Gnomoria. Though not as incredibly deep as DF, it shares the same concept (plus the UI and graphics are more user-friendly).</p>My bad. The game is effectively at 24 USD; it seems I had it on a -20% because I owned another Double Fine game (no idea which one).
