Dwarves won't recover wounded
« on: January 02, 2014, 12:15:31 am »

Hey guys...for some reason my dwarves won't recover wounded. Haven't had this problem before so I'm not too sure why they won't do it. I have a hospital with spare beds and so on, but they just refuse to go out and get the poor bastard.

Any ideas

Recovering wounded tends to be a low priority for most dwarves.  It helps to have a few medics with all labors turned off except the medical ones.  While all your other dwarves are busy hauling and crafting, your medics will get around to helping the wounded.  The "likes helping others" trait is a good one, since it will give the medic a happy thought for rescuing wounded comrades.

Well I've got dwarves around with "No Job" and recover wounded enabled, but they don't seem to do anything. I'll hunt through and see if I can find some more compassionate ones and see if they'll bring him back.

I had an alert on when the wound occured, which would have prevented him from being recovered. After the alert was turned off, still no one recovered him.


He did eventually get to the hospital, unfortunately it happened when I wasn't paying attention so I don't know if he struggled in by himself or if someone grabbed him.
