If you're only getting thread and cloth, you've forgotten to kill all the elves. Honest mistake.

Has anyone tried a hospital with the thread and cloth limits set to 1?  When it runs out of cloth, 100 dwarfs may respond, but then you are over the limit and the jobs should stop -- should stop -- with 100 cloth.  I haven't had any containers in my hospitals for a long time, precisely because of this bug.

Then, of course, the main concern would be candy cloth.  With the bug of dwarfs ignoring the ownership of cloth to stock the hospital, the candy may not be safe.  I avoid candy sutures now by using stockpile giving/taking, so the thread is not available for general use (which is what the hospital currently uses, since it is not stocked).

I will run the experiment to completion anyway, however. Even if the only reason why there is a punctured equilibrium in the fortress is because I have been brutally butchering babies
EDIT: I just remembered that dwarves can't equip halberds. That might explain why the squads that use them always die.

You say that like candy sutures are a bad thing!

King has issued a new decree: use candy sutures, and not those cheap pigtail sutures!

I don't build hospitals, since all my dwarves have an 3x3 personal room, I just bring a doctor and then all the stuff he will need to the room of our injuried. Note: Never use any type of containers on your hospital(and remember to assing the stock limits to 0).

I don't think that hospitals even need containers, doctors can just take stuff from stockpiles.

yes, they will take from anywhere if there isn't some of what they need in the hospital.
