Healing with no water source?
« on: June 26, 2009, 12:10:17 am »

Hello

I don't have any water on my map  :'( Is there anything I can do to help my injured dwarfs recover? Alchemy maybe?

Thanks

DEAAAAATH

Seriously. They're gonna die.

Unless you have magma and ice, in which case you can make an ice stockpile on a constructed "basin" above magma, which will melt the ice for you into water. Use the "i" key to designate the resulting pond as a water source; boom, victory.

If you have no water, then wounded dwarves have until they die of dehydration to recover from their wounds.

You may be able to keep your dwarves alive by keeping them from trying to rest; some injuries can be "worked around" (e.g. a broken hand does not require bed rest, though the dwarf will do so if there's a spare bed available). As long as they are up and about, they'll drink booze.

disassemble all of the dwarves' beds, they can sometimes stay up and about and go to the booze stockpile.

Didn't the OP already say that he has magma and ice?

I think this thread is ready to be derailed

Or not, since this is the questions area.
