They never go to recover them... even when it's the only job activated for them...

If the job does pop up, they just wander around for a bit before going for a drink or something...

What gives?

[Scruga]

are they allowed to go where the wounded are? If they need to stay in their burrow and the dwarf in need of help is outside it, they won't go I believe.

Urist McWorker cancels recover wounded: Is a jerk.

Do you have a hospital zone set up? Maybe they won't recover the wounded if there's nowhere to recover them to.

No bans on the area and yes, I have a working hospital and several doctors...

Hi!

So, they actually do "Recover Wounded" according to the unit list/unit view, but the task is never performed, do I understand that correctly?

If the job didn't show up, I would have speculated you had dwarves who simply see helping others as an imposition on their time (there are characteristics about whether they like to help others or not), but since the dwarf says "I will do it!", that shouldn't be it.

Alternatively, if the job didn't show up, it might be that the dwarf was considered able-bodied and left to walk/crawl/whatever to the hospital by themselves.

That does sound horribly similar to the traction bench bug I have witnessed, where the traction bench would not be used during treatment.

Yeap, the job showed up (though very rarely...) and then my dwarves would proceed to ignore the wounded when close...

I've had a similar problem.

All my wounded dwarves have managed to drag their own bloody selves into the hospital, where they proceed to lay there and starve to death. Nearly every dwarf have 'feed/water patients' or whatever labor turned on, and I tried turning everything else off except that. The worst part is these dwarves aren't even that wounded, they could just, you know, walk down the hall and get a drink themselves, but no, they have to die of thirst instead.

This has happened in two 31 forts so far, I think the first time was .02, but I know for sure the second time was .03.

First time: Urist McStonescrafter got his nose and shoulder broken by a troll before said troll got cut in half. This was early on and there was no hospital setup. He continued to work and eat and drink on his own just fine. Shortly afterwards, I set up a hospital. He then went to the hospital, laid down on the floor and died of thirst.

Second time: Two wounded dwarves walked back to the fort on their own, and laid down in the hospital doorway. I know at least one was given water/cleaned/something involving a bucket once. After that they laid there until one died of thirst. Immediately afterwards, the second one was cleaned up, and he recovered and went on about his business (or at least least he stopped laying in the damn doorway)

Why do the wounded deserve to live?

Why do the wounded deserve to live?

Because one of them was one of the original 7, whom I was fond enough of to give a nickname ('Chops' the Axedwarf). If it was a peasant or a potash maker or whatever, then I would agree.

Alternate answer: I haven't dug out a graveyard yet, and I can't be arsed with it, more important things to dig.

Why do the wounded deserve to live?

Because they may be necessary or important to you/have enough friends and family that everyone goes nuts when they die.

This happens with about 1 in 3 injuries for me. Dwarves will ignore the wounded, even though there is a hospital with beds, doctors, and i rarely turn off the feeding/recovery labors. They're usually awake and in no pain, often don't have any spinal/leg injuries, but will just sit there and wait till they starve to death, not even attempting to reach the hospital. It makes things so much more difficult.

I was under the impression that a grave yard of some sort was usually one of the first things dug out.

Doesn't matter, even if you do get them to the hospital, and do feed them (You need a backpack or something for this I think), the doctor will never diagnose them so they won't get fixed.
