And Im sorry if this has already been answered.
I have an adventurer with a few broken toes and fingers and bruised extremities and the like but I have no idea how to heal him.
So how do I heal in the new version, traveling around doesnt seem to be curing anything and neither has retiring.
Thanks a lot guys.

[Toybasher]

You just have to wait, healing is overtime now. The insta-heal on travel has been removed.

[Ivan Issaccs]

So his mangled hands and feet will fix themselves if I retire him for a while?
Thats okay, it just felt like I had been exploring long distances between citys without making any progress on the wounds, even minor bruises, and it got me thinking maybe its because theirs no doctor around to fix these wounds.

[Toybasher]

No No No! I mean just over time, you dont have to retire him. just moving around in game heals him EXTREMELY slowly. using the travel map has time speed up so traviling around a while will eventually heal him up.

[Ivan Issaccs]

I realised what you meant, however, hes travelled from one end of the earth and back again without progress so I retired him to play a doomed little fort, see if hes any better a year or two on from now and if not then Ill do it the long way.

[Toybasher]

hit Z in adventure mode then H then wounds and tell me what his injuries are.

[Ivan Issaccs]

His left ear cartilage is cut apart
His right ear cartiledge
second finger nail,
first toe right foot nail
third toe left loot nail are all smashed apart.

[Toybasher]

Are they infected?

[Peasant]

Oh yeah? I top those wounds with mine: His thumb, right hand is broken. His thumb, right hand is cut open. His second finger, left hand is broken. His second finger, left hand is smashed open. His first finger, left hand is broken. His first finger, left hand is smashed open. His right ear is broken, his nose is broken. And of course the yellow damage to my left and right upper arms, bruised left lung, liver and right shoulder.

Hopefully they will not heal, i like to collect wounds like i collect trophies. Every time a bolt/arrow hits me, i think to myself "Another trophy for my collection." Here's a quote straight from my description; His upper body bears the marks of numerous old wounds, the chief among them a tiny curving scar.

[Ivan Issaccs]

They wernt at the time of writing but I tried travelling back and forth across the world and would you believe that they are now.

The moment i go to wash myself in a murky pool, a smear and a spattering of dwarf pus come out, is that a bad thing?

[Cheshire Cat]

quick. that pus belongs to you. use g to grab it and scoff it back down fast before some elf steals it.

im getting hit in the chest by human hammerman, getting a flashing mortal wound, then travelling it off fine. although im yet to try this with anything that has had the time to get infected though. perhaps infected wounds do not heal? i seem to recall toady saying something about infected wounds in fortress mode never healing unless properly cared for. seeing as that cannot happen in adventure mode, the wounds may be permanent....

also, anyone found out how arrows/edged weapons simply dont work good on armoured foes anymore? and how hammers/flails/maces can seriously mash an armoured opponent where a sword wont, yet you often need to swap back to your sword once they pass out if you want to kill them anytime this century?

[Peasant]

I couldn't eat or take my pus, what a shame. Just like my own grease which i couldn't eat.. oh how much i wanted to gobble down that pool of dwarf grease.

[Dogmeat]

Will cuts ever heal on their own without the use of medical supplies?

[Cheshire Cat]

here is an epic post i did on this stuff from another thread.

new report - i have been able to heal bleading wounds after pulling out crossbow bolts through travelling, and have been able to travel-heal flashing mortal wounds to my heart delt by human hammernen (with silver mauls. seriously, everyone in my world has silver weapons. silver arrows, axes, swords.. i even started with them, its mental)

this is using the latest update toady put out, with the gfx pack from mike mayday. if the new minor update does not contain some kind of fix here, then it just might possibly be infections. people dont seem to be able to heal those in adventure mode at all... anyone got any new experimental data to add? im still collecting mine.

also, while cloth can be wrapped around wounds, the consensus has been it does not seem to stop bleeding or help much, but keep trying. we dont know everything about health in this release yet, specially in adventure mode.

EDIT: after a rather epic fight, a smashed thumb, which shows up as a compound fracture in the health screen, has not healed wheras multiple other stuff, including a bleeding leg from a bronze bolt, has. so... serious wounds normaly needing treatment dont heal? im guessing a bone sticking out of a thumb would require setting before it could get better.

EDIT EDIT: so travelling a lot more and sleeping in towns, the compound fractures and another bolt wound in my foot have healed to a point, then show as infected and will heal no further. i found a human surgeon and pursued every conversation option, but there is nothing do do there. bleeding wounds still seem to heal when i travel, although i have healed a lot of them without travelling. so perhaps really bad injuries, comparable to compoud fracture, will not heal with travel...
