The path blocking problem does seem to be much worse in 39b than the previous version; resting dwarves now seem to almost always end up dead from thirst/starvation rather than just occasionally.

I think I will go back to playing 38c until this is fixed.

It will just be neccesary to build a watersource + bucket right next to the hospital.

for now.
caring for ones friends should have higher prority than f.i. clearing up the dwarfchunks littering the front portal.

Health care tasks should be as important as, say, "Remove construction".

Although it's wishful thinking, having the priority based upon relationship with said dwarf would be nice. Then you might wanna have some friends, since those acquaintances might decide cleaning up a small mess on the other side of the map might be a better use of their time, while a family member or a lover/good friend might put off doing their current job/task to go tend to said injured dwarf.

Edit: Doah, i got off track with what i was gonna say again. Have you tried making a hospital room and locking a dwarf in there with the injured? With some food/booze/water in it so everyones happy, and the only possible thing they can do it help the injured?

Hmm, even with that, I think many dwarves prefer to wait with "no job" next to the door rather than helping the injured.

if you make a channel that run right next to the beds, will the wounded dwarf be able to drink himself since he is on a square just next too water?

Lets hope that a new version of Tweak comes out so we can heal wounded dwarves, then.

Lets hope one day Tweak stops using the .NET Bullshit, so we all can use it :)
Oh, so you want him to rewrite a fairly hairy project to scratch an itch that isn't his? Charitable of you.  ::)

Does Tweak use P/Invokes? It should run under Mono if the answer is 'no'.

Let's hope that Toady will fix / re-write the health care system, above all.

The big problem right now is resting dwarves have the same falling unconscious problem sleeping dwarves had. Deconstructing the bed will help a bit, but it's still a bit hairy. Also, if Tweak doesn't work for you due to .NET, Dwarf Companion is done in Python. Sadly, it's also a bit on the not liking to work side.

New user here.  This is the best game I've played in a long time.  I just wanted to contribute to this topic.

I've been playing 38c for a while, and I've never run into healthcare issues like this before.  Sure, it's annoying how low priority the job is, but I was still seeing tons of give water/food before 39b.  I've got 6 dehydrated/starving dwarves, and no one will lift a finger.  If I go back to 38c with the save, the nurses will get off their butts and help them.

Here are some steps I've tried:
1.  Activating/Deactivating dwarf from military
2.  Deconstructing bed
3.  Building new buckets
4.  Locking dwarf in room, removing all jobs but healthcare.  He just sits with no job.
5.  Removing all jobs but healthcare from 10 dwarves

It would be cool to have a nursing/counselling/medicine profession instead of something like Alchemy.

I just got a double ambush so I got 4 injured dwaves, so I thought I'd upload a save, since they arn't getting any attention from the other dwarves.

So does that mean it's fixed for 39c, or for whatever the next release will be?
