Medical attention in adventure mode?
« on: April 01, 2010, 06:54:48 pm »

Hellow, My adventurer has a broken bone that needs setting and just cant seem to heal up. (yet compound fractures do?) How do I get the bone set?
He also has a light blue heart injury? What does this indicate?

I know blue organs means organ damage, though it may be minor.

Anyway, I've only had an adventurer bruise his hand so far, and that healed up during 'T'ravel, but if that doesn't work I'm not sure what to tell you.

Travel doesnt heal wounds instantly now like before, all wounds in adventure behave like in fortress mode (havnt played it yet) as in you just have to wait for it to heal up.

I second this question. My current adventurer has several broken limbs that won't heal, as well as an infected head wound and some nerve damage. Since the health/wounds menu has a "treatments" and a "medical history" tab, it seems reasonable that there's help to be found somewhere...

I discovered a human "surgeon" in one town and a "diagnoser" in another, but both of them turned out to be regular shopkeepers as far as I could tell - when I asked them about their professions, they claimed "I was once a surgeon/diagnoser." I got all excited when the "surgeon" said "Visit my shop sometime.", so that was a letdown. I'm in the process of trying to find a doctor that isn't retired.

General input and knowledge-questing on this would be helpful.

Apparently, you can wrap cloth over body parts. I have no idea what this does, but you might be able to use it as bandaging.

Time to find some medic only items such as plaster crutch etc etc. So time to make a small fort just to get you some supplies and abandon it

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Wrong, you do it with W for wear, and you can only wrap around hands. (Like how hobos wrap scarfs to keep warm),

Even then you only do it on hands and it dosant do anything about bleeding.

I guess if you were a dorf you could theoretically retire somewhere, embark there with a doctor, treat yourself then abandon.  Would that work?

Only if doctors treat friendly units, as well as dwarves.

The wiki says you can use bandages.   I don't suppose it'd be a far stretch to assume you can use splints aswell.
