One of my soldiers was injured fighting, and was brought to the hospital, but no one is feeding, watering (Is that the right word? Sounds like a plant), or diagnosing her. Can I fix this or is the soldier essentially dead?

[greycat]

I've also noticed that hunters won't do their jobs if you don't have ammo for them to use. Try setting one of your craft shops to make some wood/bone bolts and make sure to go to the military screen and set you hunters up with the right ammo. (Should be already done by default, but it never hurts to check.)

Also make sure you have enough quivers.  A hunter can't work unless she gets a crossbow, a quiver, and some bolts.

Also, as for shearers and milkers... Sometimes, they will be doing there jobs and taking animals to the workshop to be shorn/milked. But if your herd animals are set to a certain pasture and the rest of your dwarfs have animal hauling enabled, they will drag the animals out of the workshop causing a tug-of-war situation.

That bug was fixed (I don't remember precisely when, but it's not present in 0.31.25).

The most common cause of "no shearing is going on" is that none of the animals are ready to be shorn.  Each animal only gets shorn about 1 time per year, so you'll need a whole lotta animals to keep a shearer busy year-round.

I've got everything the hospital is asking but there is still no crutches, splints, powder, buckets or soap in my hospital. I tried patience but its been seasons. Why wont they store the stuff?

Diagnosis is performed by the Chief Medical Dwarf. Have you assigned a dwarf to this position? Does that dwarf have the "diagnosis" labor turned on? Is that dwarf free from other tasks and able to access the hospital?

Do you have a water source available to your dwarves? (Patients can only be given water, not booze.) Is the hospital stocked with buckets that a dwarf could use to water the patient? Are there dwarves with the patient care labor turned on, and do they have nothing else to do?

Have you built some containers in your hospital zone? (It needs boxes and bags to store that stuff in.) Have you set the hospital to keep some of each of those items in stock in the activity zone properties?

[jovian]

Containers are in there yes and as for the stocks they are as they were, worked fine for threads and cloths. Ive made 10 crutches and splints and the hospital still reads 0/5. Same for powder and soap and buckets.

[FuzzyZergling]

Are they all filled with thread and cloth? That happens if you build all your containers at once.

[Stormfeather]

Also make sure that a) it's zoned as a hospital using (i), and b) you don't have any offices/bedrooms/other "claimed" rooms overlapping the containers. That'll keep them from getting filled.

Snip

I've got everything, and all my other wounded people have been treated and discharged, but all my medics are wandering around either doing other stuff or being idle.

[Fredd]

When you adjust the hospital settings, all the stuff you specify is reserved for the hospital. The coffers and chests just make the supplies more handy for the docs

You need to create a noble position for a doctor (it's on the list) and assign the diagnose option to them.  It would probably be best to remove all other jobs from this dwarf's responsibilities, including feed/water and retrieve in the health options.

Assign a couple flunky dwarves for cleaning duty and retrieve & feed & water tasks and remove all their other tasks.

This is assuming you have a fortress that's not population challenged.  If you have a sherriff, you will want to have them have no jobs at all, ideally, but I typically assign them to feed/water so they take care of any prisoners they might imprison.

The recent fixes to medical stuff might mean it is no longer necessary to remove the feed/water job from your chief medical dwarf.  Unsure.  It became a habit to never assign that job to my chief medical dwarf.

I recently had a goblin siege that only left about 13% of the population alive because my military sucks. I guess I'm still getting used to the military system because I'm stupid. Anyway, I'm in the process of entombing the fallen and I'm trying to train a war wolf. I bought a caged wolf from elves before the siege, but the animal trainer that didn't get slaughtered in the siege says that there's no trainable animal anywhere. What's going on?

[Niccolo]

Sadly, wolves are not trainable into war animals.

I was most upset when I discovered this.

You can edit the RAWs (I'm not sure how, sorry) to make them trainable, though.

[jovian]

I had a bunch of marksmen practicing and all was well until lately, they now cannot follow orders. disbanded and rebuilt the squad. They practiced for a few weeks and now, yet again, they all cannot follow orders. Any idea?

[El Payaso Malo]

That sucks. That was literally the only reason I purchased said wolf.
