Anyone have experiance with crutches yet?
« on: April 12, 2010, 03:05:43 am »

So, about 5 seconds after I take my axedwarfs off their training axes my number 1 guy loses a foot.  Now he's resting in the hospital with "Ability to stand lost."

I have crutches in the hospital, but he's not using them.  Do I have to change a setting to get him up and about?  Should he be picking up a set of crutches automatically?  What gives?

I had this yesterday...

You nay need a splint, make one in the carpenters workshop.

Then you need to build a traction bench at the mechanics workshop (needs rope, a mechanism and something else, I cant remember)

Then you need to build it through the build menu in your hispital.  After that the doctor will use it.

Sorted  :D

I don't think traction or a splint are going to help a missing foot.

I ran into this situation too just today, a blind cave ogre grabbed my best fighter and ripped his left leg off at the hip. Unfortunately he also got a compound fracture of the wrist, and given the bugginess of surgery and hospital zones in general right now I expect the resulting untreated infection is going to kill him before I get a chance to experiment with crutches.

Fair point, my guy just had a crushed leg.  I may be wrong.
