Amazing dog
« on: November 24, 2007, 08:26:00 pm »

i have this war dog which got wounded, im not quite sure how but i think it may have got caught in the spike trap when i used it on the merchants (spike traps ftw no chance of sticking) anyhow it is running around with a red lung wound and continually fainting, yet no-one does anything for it i have people with the animal care labour and i figured they were supposed to care for it but they are just hanging around in my meeting room with no job, will my dog ever heal it lung and is there somethign i need to build before my animal carers will do something for it (i have neither kennel nor barracks)

Check the skill levels of your animal caretakers. In the old version, if the animal was too severely wounded for the caretakers to fix, they'd simply take one quick glance at the hurt animal and say "nothing I can do" - but since they did it every time they saw the animal, their skill would skyrocket. I've also never seen animal caretaking or feeding caged animals generate a job visible on the unit list, so it's not easy to notice.

As for the dog, a red wound to a vital organ is probably never going to heal, and if it's only one lung injured then the dog might not die on its own - in other words, it's probably going to limp around fainting constantly for years to come, until either you or the goblins put it out of its misery.

I've never seen animal caretakers actually affect wounds at all. They just seem to gain skill fast from wounded animals. A good way to skillup I suppose.

Free skill is better than a free meal, provided you aren't starving yet.

I enable animal caretaker on all my dwarves, so everytime they walk near a mauled wardog, they become more agile/tough/strong.
