I've got to ask: what is with the thread title?

Personally, I think nerve damage needs the least work out of all the parts of the combat system.

I think Sx is the term used for severe nerve damage.

[Korgus]

It means "Ability to stand lost"

[SalmonGod]

I would like to see some option for repairing severed nerves, personally, even if it's a cheat option.  I think it would be cool if they could be stitched together with adamantine thread.

[Korgus]

It'd probably make more sense to make nerve damage rarer.

[Zanielyene]

If crutches will alleviate the problem with Sx in the future, then I'm okay with nerve damage as it is.

Now my biggest cripe is setting a squad to attack multiple units, and they only kill one unit and then sit on top of the corpse D:

[Noble Digger]

I usually station them at a fixed location near their target. Dwarven military are pretty hostile, and they'll engage and kill anything they see while patrolling or moving to a station. That is, they will about 85% of the time. Sometimes for unknowable reasons they don't acknowledge a creature's presence even when standing close to it, they just need time to think harder. Usually when the game's very busy with pathfinding.

A surgery mood that requires adamantine, and replaces one nerve damaged part with an adamantine limb. Would be rare for it to happen, rarer still that you'd have adamantine ready, but awesome to have the dwarf back on the front line with an artifact limb.

[SalmonGod]

Prosthetics involving a complex production process requiring tons of masterwork mechanisms would be awesome.

But simply spending a thread of the precious fun metal for the repair of a severed nerve would make me happy.  Should also probably require a high surgery skill.

In the situation where there is no metal, layer the crap out of everything. You'll still have casualties if you commit your military though, so either go with the flow of the grimdark world you're in, build elaborate traps, start digging for HFS, or regen in a world your parent civ isn't dead.

As far as the adamantine nerve repair, I feel it breaks the aesthetic of the game a bit, but would be appropriate (and awesome) for high magic mods (or, one day far away, worldgen options.)

[Makbeth]

As annoying as it is to lose skilled dwarves to freak occurrences in combat, I'm going to strongly disagree with the idea that nerve damage should be recoverable.  Nerve damage is supposed to be permanent and debilitating, or there wouldn't even be nerves in the game.

And I still think that 7 years should have been enough time for the OP to find metal.  That's more than enough time to find, mine, and process spoiler tubes.  Did the OP try using prospector or dfreveal to check if there is any metal?
