I've a dorf that took on a Hydra by itself, and had his leg snapped off for the trouble. Before said Hydra happily trundled into my elite crossbow dorfs and was torn into pieces by a hungry populace.

Said one-legged dorf is still sitting in the hospital, years later. Will it ever grab a crutch? Will it ever stop 'resting'? Or should I make a monument to his (soon to be) sacrifice involving magma and poems?

He'll never walk again, and for some reason (read: bug) doctor's can't give people crutches.  The best thing you can do is give him and epic death and a magnificent tomb.

[MiserEnoch]

Drat. Magma tubin' it is. I'll fill his tomb with treasures untold, brought up from the depths of heck, and mount the totems made by the hydra's seven skulls as praise to his afterlife.

Don't use magma if you want a corpse to put in a tomb, cuz' I'm pretty sure you need a corpse? Or does it work even with no body?

I'm pretty sure it works without a corpse, as I've had drowned dwarves "Put" in coffins despite not having access to the bodies.

Maybe you could build him a giant tomb and just leave him in there. I mean, don't even seal it. Just dump him in a bed where the coffin would normally be. He isn't going anywhere.

[MiserEnoch]

I've dug through the developers notes a bit, but. Any word on when that bug'll be fixed?


I think I might just keep him in the hospital for now. If the bug fix is comming soon, it might be applied retroactively?

THIS, unless you really care if some feeding/watering labour goes to waste

There are serious bugs that have been known for months, and have not been fixed yet.  This is one of them.  I wouldn't hold my breath.
