Blind dwarf
« on: December 22, 2013, 10:12:27 am »
One of my starting seven is blind (the label didn't seem to be visible in the embark screen, which led to me hilariously assigning him military skills).  He generally works ok as a miner, but about 25% of the time he is in the hospital resting as though wounded.  He has no visible wounds, and the doctors don't do anything with him, though other dwarfs bring him water and food.  Any ideas about what is going on?

I'm guessing that whenever he falls asleep on his own, the game notices that there's an unconscious dwarf whose eyes don't work for some reason, and it generates a rescue job. Does he have a room assigned to him? That might fix it.

Might be a good golem?

It happened to me, too! His eyes appeared as yellow in the wounds screen and sometimes I would hear a report about him being red eyed. Nothing compared to my schizophrenic miner and my insomniac mason, but fun anyways.
