Wounded organs
« on: April 18, 2009, 11:06:27 pm »

Do internal organs only show up on the wound list if they're wounded?

I've got a dwarf who's been unconscious for like a year now, with only a minor wounded leg, no apparent head trauma, and he hasn't healed or woken up yet?  Might be time to wall him off and write him off as a loss...

Yes, they only show up when they are wounded.

Since you had two pretty straight-forward questions you could have just made one thread..

If by minor wound you mean yellow (broken) that's not very minor. If you mean he's just bruised it (light gray, brown) then there's something odd. He should be up and about have you checked to see if you can scroll down on his wound list? If he suffers spinal injuries, brain injuries, knee, guts, lung, heart ... whatever y'know? It shows up down there.

Yes, it was just a broken leg.  I wasn't able to scroll on the wound list at all so there's no internal organ damage.  Oddly enough, he appears to have woken up when he was seized by a strange mood, and now hobbled his way to a craftshop.

They always do that. Even with a broken spine.
And as I understand it the healing of dorfs depend on their toughness or something and it basically means that the better they are they have a higher % chance to heal. I have a situation in which a legendary wrestler and a child got hurt during a cave-in. The child is on his way to heal but the damned wrestler is taking his time.

A roll of the dice .. your guy WILL heal. Especially now with his rise to legendary craftsdwarf.

Keep in mind that minor wounds (light gray) ook a lot like missing appendages (dark gray). The latter will cause your dwarves to be in constant pain because scarring isn't implemented yet.

Toady, how much of DF is inspired by Labyrinth? Is Armok actually David Bowie? Because that would simultaneously be disturbing and awesome.

That was my first question - important for anyone reading to remember to try that, scrolling to "the next page of injuries", parts that usually aren't listed.

There is no guaranteed time limit on healing - it's a % each season, so one terribly maimed dorf might heal in a year while his twin might take a decade or more.

Take the philosophy that he's lost - if he reappears one day, it's mana.
