Doctors evaluating, nothing else
« on: July 16, 2012, 06:00:53 pm »
Usually when I play DF I play the old 40d version, because I didn't want to learn all the new things in v31. Well now it's v34 and I know even less, wanted to fix that.

I've already learned a lot of the new features but I cannot for the life of me get hospitals to work properly. They always seem very finicky. My current problem is that I only have one injured dwarf, laying in his personal bed outside the hospital. The Chief Medical Dwarf and even some normal doctors just keep going into his room to clean and evaluate him but nothing else. They don't set his bones or treat him in any way. They don't even move him to the hospital.

What do I do to fix this? Do I need to get plaster before they'll even begin fixing him?

Sounds like you need plaster and/or a splint. Perhaps also thread and a crutch. They need something to set the bone with.

I've got everything except plaster. Will I be able to ask for gypsum or plaster powder when the next caravan comes?

Yes, if your civ has access to it.

Check if he has arrows/bolts stuck in some body part and remove them (claim - dump).

Not sure if it's relevant here but I had a patient not getting sutured/dressed until the arrow was removed.

Do you have a traction bench? It's required for treating compound fractures.

and ofcourse, your doctors need the required jobs enabled (surture, bone setting, etc)

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Hey all, update. I bought a metric-crapload of gypsum powder from the last caravan and that did the trick.

I've never had problems using splints for everything. It'd be a touch unfair if they were necessary, unless traders bring plaster powder whether or not they have access to the relevant rock types.

Traders will bring them even if they don't have the stones, same thing as with steel, coke or bronze and other alloys: If the civs has the reaction for it they will have it no matter if they have the materials.
