i have heard alot about dwarves been to lazy to feed prisoners and patients but i have found a whole new bag of fun...

a message spam reading "Urist McDwarf cancels Give Food: No food available"

so they want to feed the starving patients but for some reason cant. any solutions?

You might suffer a case of military dwarfs hugging food items, check your food stockpile if it contains an unusual amount of owned food. Check the details of the various items with (k).
I've also had problems with patients not eating prepared meals. So try producing some raw edible stuff (plump helmets, meat, cheese) and not cooking those.

I know that was just a typo, but the notion of military dwarves actually hugging, rather than hogging, food is somehow terrifying.

Although, it *would* explain all those engravings of cheese....

Although hugging their flasks seems reasonable. And as a side note, they will always fill the flask with their favorite beverage.

[Lex Talionias]

im not sure if they even fill their flasks with booze, how do i check?

[Fredd]

metal/glass  flasks get filled with the booze, if assigned. the elf cursed leather water flasks, get filled with water. to see what they are carrying, view a military dwarfs inventory, then view the flask's contents

[Lex Talionias]

huh, i know why they arnt being fed anymore. my cook is dead. so i have 3 store rooms of flower. 1 of raw meat, a pile of booze and no-one to turn it into meals

[Lex Talionias]

hmmm, well i decided to check out what to put in my hospitals. apparently the minimum thread count is 15000 and cloth is 10000, im hoping it's just a glitch and it means 15 thread and 10 cloth...

[Fredd]

Lex, remember, its the amount stored in it, for convienance. they still will get some, from stockpiles outside it. The major thing to store there, is any soap you make.

[Lex Talionias]

ok, what if you have a hospital basement? i want to be able to keep supplies in a downstairs room, it that possible?

[Fredd]

Actually, it should work. A wounded dwarf gets carried to a hospital bed, which even if your basement storeroom, is designated as a hospital zone also, he/she will be carried to the upper level, with the beds. Since masons will use any shop, open to anyone, guess the medics will too

[Lex Talionias]

yeah, but what im asking is will they use the supplies kept in the basement?

[slothen]

yeah, but what im asking is will they use the supplies kept in the basement?

probably, since if they don't have supplies in the hospital they'll just grab the nearest ones available.  But a basement is probably unnecessary. 5-8 coffers/bags will probably hold more than enough medical supplies, they don't take up too much room.

[Lex Talionias]

that is not the point. having an awesome basement area that keeps all the supplies is the point.
