Skill Scrubber scrubes free skills from traits

If a duplicant has a free skill from a "skilled: XYZ" trait, they lose it when they use a skill scrubber. If the skill is tier 2 or 3, then it is impossible to restore the scrubbed duplicant to the state they were in prior to scrubbing, making them potentially objectively worse than before scrubbing. A non-farmer dupe with "skilled: Critter Ranching" for example will be permanently worse after scrubbing, as they must now skill up farming to regain their innate skill.

If this is intended, there should be some sort of warning. Alternatively the skill could just be restored after scrubbing.

I expected scrubbing to restore the dupe to how they came out of the printing pod, not a worse state...


Steps to Reproduce

Pick a dupe with a "skilled: something" trait, then scrub them in the skill scrubber. The free skill is removed, even though the dupe still has the "skilled: whatever" trait.




User Feedback


Still waiting on a fix for this and I can confirm it happened today.  Seems like the fix would be to add code to check for free skills when a skill scrub completes, then add the free skill back.  It would even work for existing saves, just have to scrub the dups again to add the free skill back.  Please look at this one.
