Medical Care
« on: March 05, 2012, 12:12:28 am »

I'm pretty sure you can't get medical attention in adventure mode, but I wanted to be sure, as my current character has a couple mangled arteries which, while not dangerous at all, are rather annoying as they've left seemingly permanent splotches of yellow on the health screen. Ah, I'd hoped to not go supernatural at all on this one.

Nope, no chance. No healthcare.

It was rather strange; bleeding had stopped and I wasn't feeling any pain, but they were still red on the status screen. I'm guessing it was because I had built up pretty high Toughness and Willpower, but had average recuperation.

Recuperation Stopped your bleeding.

Toughness slightly lowered the initial dmg.

Willpower tried to keep you conscious.

I always pack max recuperation so if shit goes down I can crawl away and hopefully not bleed to death. With 34.xx as long as you survive and gain were-status you can regen so you don't have to be Stubs_McLegendaryBiter. Pack a crutch so if you lose only a leg you can toss the crutch in an arm and hobble away.

Well, you could retire your adventurer, make a fort, retire a fort using dfhack, take the adventurer to yhe fort, synch civ values, and switch back to fort mode to have the fort doctors take care of him.

Too much work for a mediocre adventurer that is already two games old.  :P

I don't know about arteries but: one of my adventures had it's whole body torn open, broke ...)(Had Mortal wound tag) but with sleeping a bit, he was almost fine( couldn't really walk but hey)

Dwarves use their beards to influence the adamantite to change form. A dwarves beard is specialized in his job, therefore a legendary miner has a much better mining beard then a legendary weaponsmith, who has a beard that influences metals to make armor much more.
This also explains why dwarves can have a city on just a soap pillar, the beard of the soapmaking dwarf causes the soap to become rigid.

Mudcrab, press W from time to time and read the detailed moon description (only there if the moon is actually visible) - waning moon means you missed the full moon, waxing moon is good, waxing gibbous moon is the time when you should start looking for werecreature-lairs if you want to get infected - or else think twice about entering if you want to kill them.

who needs medical care when you can just go catch a nasty disease that transforms you into a vicious man eating monster once a month but the transformation allows you to regrow lost limbs and organs?

beh, the worst injuries ive ever had are usually fatal. I dont think ive ever lost anything greater than a few teeth, and maybe a kidney back in 31.25
