The title says it all, if a bit derp-aly. Is there a way to make a medical reaction that uses the butchery byproduct nerves to do nerve grafts on dwarfs?

[scamtank]

Without DFHack? No.

I'd also like to point out that your dwarf succeeding at this should be about as possible as this forum learning to get along with elves

There is. It fully heals the dwarf though.

Make a custom materials template which is used by nerves. Give it a REACTION_CLASS:Y. Make a reaction that calls for NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE REACTION_CLASS:Y as reagent. It will now only accept items made of nerves, which is the butchery product.

The reaction transforms the worker (yes, the injured dwarf has to do the job, otherwise the game AI doesnt know who to target) for 1 tick (or how long you want it to take) into a "dwarf in surgery". An immobile dummy creature, just there to transform to for a little time. After that the dwarf transforms back into who he was before. Fully healed due to the transformation.

Done, nerve damage healed using nerves as reagent. If you want to get more fancy, you transform the worker into a "surgeon", who uses interactions to transform a nearby dwarf, then make a 1-tile buildings (OP table), which you need to build next to your injured dwarf in the hospital. Then the doctor can do a reaction that heals the dwarf next to him, although that might not have a 100% success rate, because he might move away a few tiles before doing the interaction. But its possible. He might target any other healthy dwarf next to him, so best to do it in the hospital only.

PS: Thats all without dfhack.

Thats all without dfhack.

Assuming you accomplish the transformation by creating a cloud of "surgery vapor" - performing a custom reaction cannot trigger a syndrome or interaction directly.

Right. I forgot that this would require AutoSyndrome. I am way too used to it.
