Temporary fix for surgery/traction
« on: June 11, 2010, 09:51:20 pm »
For those of you who don't read the bug tracker, Toady has fixed surgery and traction for .07. The problem was for some reason the doctor kept picking up and putting the dwarf back down trying to carry them to the table/bench.

As a temporary fix till .07 is released you can simply forbid all your tables and traction benches, I just tested it and the doctor actually does surgery and everything seems to work fine. I've not tested traction, but it should work too.

Bonus: the doctor, patient, and a 3x3 square centered on the bed were absolutely covered in blood since it was a dabbling surgeon. The patient seems to have made a full recovery anyway.

Sorry if this is common knowledge, I don't know how many people read the bug tracker.

I wasn't aware of this workaround, and I imagine most players don't keep a close eye on the bug tracker either. Thank you for sharing.  :D

O.O
So I've been hanging on to a few invalids years into my fort, all for no reason at all. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

DO you have to forbid all of your table in the entire fort or is just the hospital enough?

Per Toady's description in the bug, all tables.

Does this mean that dwarves won't eat at the tables forbidden in your dining hall?

Presumably.  So it comes down to choosing which unhappy thought you want your dwarves to have: from not having a table to eat at, or from losing a friend :)

[And of course once surgery is over you can unforbid all the tables again]

I'm confused.  I have a dwarf requesting traction but not surgery.  Do I need to forbid tables for him to be brought to the bench?
