Tips and tricks

  • Unconscious wounded dwarf ignored by hospital and doctors
    I had a wounded dwarf in his bedroom that required healthcare, but was ignored by the doctors. To solve this, I assigned an hospital zone on his room, de-assigned the bedroom and removed (claim back) his bed. At that time, the doctors came and brought him to the hospital.
    See also bug tracker entry for more information and tricks.
  • Animals starving to death.
    Grazing animals must be assigned to a pasture zone, otherwise they won't eat and starve to death.
