So I have this unconscious dwarf missing both of his legs and one hand, but otherwise unharmed. he got a fey mood, but he just lies there. I've already got cage traps build by his door if he goes insane, but I still have a few questions.

1: Will he EVER starve? he's been like this for over a season and hasn't gotten hungry yet.

2: Will he ever actually get up and go for the stuff he needs?

3: Would he survive in a cage?

4: Will he remain unconscious forever?

Are you sure, you have built his workshop?

[Heron TSG]

well, he's a planter, and I have one of every workshop. except a kiln and  a fisherdwarf's workshop.

[Tormy]

1. Yes.
2. Considering that he lost both of his legs + one arm, I don't think so.
3. No.
4. It depends on his injuries. Does he has any internal organ/brain injuries for example?

[Heron TSG]

well, his internal bits are okay. is it even possible to cage a dwarf?

Cage traps only spring on friendly units if they are unconscious. Cave-in smoke knocks everybody it touches out.

 I'm sure you can put it together from there.

He's already unconscious.  A better question would be, "How in the world did he lose both legs and an arm, in his room?  While unconscious?"

[Heron TSG]

he didn't. a huge set of four goblin ambushes charged through the front gate and, lacking an army, I equipped everyone with anything I had and told em to charge. he took the main beating, got carried to his room, and has been living like that for a while.

If he went insane (and if he could walk) could I trap him?

[zchris13]

Yes.  Hostile dwarves (tantruming, insane, yadayada) are trappable.

Or, if they are asleep or unconscious

[Jay]

If he went unconscious again after walking onto the tile with the trap on it, yes. (Or if he's hostile)
Otherwise, no.

[Heron TSG]

well, I'm going to build cage traps all over his room, and see if I can catch him for an... experiment. hmm... what showers gore more explosively? thirty kittens or a nutcase?

[Martin]

I've had wounded dwarves get fey moods and they definitely get up and do their thing. I had one with two red legs and a yellow arm get up and walk across the map about 8 times. Took ages, and I half expected him to go insane by the 3rd season, but he kept plugging away. If your guy were conscious, I'd expect him to crawl to the workshop.

[Heron TSG]

Well, any chance of him not dying of 'phantom pains' from his missing appendages? or is it time to pull the lever on him?

[Kanil]

A much easier way to cage a dwarf is to build a 1x1 room with a cage trap and lock him in there until he decides to sleep.

[TigerPlushie]

So, dwarves that went berserk count as hostile, since the guard/military attacks them... makes me think of putting a cage trap into every workshop entrance...
