Water.

I'm in a badlands.

There's no flooded caves.

It's made of clay, so no aquifer.

No rivers, or pools.

Or rain.

There's just no water anywhere. This was fine, untuil I got "Urist McDoctor cancels clean patient: No water source"

Huh, how am I supposed to get past this?

Have you checked all three cavern layers?
If you have no water in any of them, and no water in murky pools, then there's not a whole lot you can do about it.

Well, other then maybe digging through the dfhack toolkit (dfliquid?).

You are sure the caverns have absolutely no water? If they have any plants in them, then you just aren't looking hard enough.

If you do indeed have no water, then just assign dwarves that heal quickly and resist disease to your military. These are the only attributes that cannot be improved over time.

You can make "river source" squares with dfliquids, i haven't really played with that but I assume they pour out water like a river edge square.

It depends on personally how "cheaty" you are happy with being. I alway embark with at least 1 river tile so I never bothered. I started playing with Tweak only last night, it's old but Tile Edit still works. If it rains in your biome you might be able to copy the tile info from a Murky Pool (you'll have to load another game where there's murky pools), and create an artificial murky pool in your new map, to collect rain.

Dwarven rum should be better than water to clean wounds.

Dwarven rum should be better than water to clean wounds.

Dwarven rum kills not just bacteria, but the bacteria, the cells around the wound, whatever gave you the wound to begin with, it's family, and anything that looks like it.
