recover wounded
« on: October 27, 2010, 05:14:51 pm »

Recovering wounded seems to occupy a lower priority than burial. No one likes death around, but let's help a fellow dwarf not die before putting the ones past help in the ground, n'kay?

Couldn't this task extend to getting obviously sick or injured to hospital beds, whether they attempt to or not? This could cover unexpected bugginess and intentional quirks of behavior. If someone falls out of bed, fails to realize (or admit) that they're injured, or refuses to go to a hospital out of sense of duty or fear of hospitals or pure machismo, then another dwarf could still attempt to get them to help. More emphathetic, observant dwarves would be more likely to try, and depending on personality could try gentle encouragement, persuasion, nagging, or straight-up dwarf-handling.

Although recover wounded having a low priority does have it's advantages e.g. not being "rescued" when they are on the traction bench for surgery, when that bug is fixed, this would be good thing to have.

Did you know that if you write 3.14 on a piece of paper and hold it in a mirror, it will say pie? And if you divide 42 by 3.14... you get 13.37!

It is incredibly satisfying to kill a man with a butterfly.
