Work-around for the Apply Cast
« on: July 25, 2010, 05:30:43 am »

Hey all,

I don't believe there's a work around posted anywhere.
Neither is there an official fix yet.
Apparently, increasing your dwarves' speed works, but I don't wanna mess with their physique. Who knows what effects can acceleration have on beards? Do YOU want to find out?

Either way, when you have a patient who "requires immobilization"...

The bug is that medical dwarves cannot collect water into buckets.
You will need at least 1 bucket, some cast powder (from kiln), a water source, some fabric at the hospital.
Also, a dwarf with the Bone Setting skill.

- Forbid ALL buckets but one (or a couple, in a busy fort with several patients)
- Wait for a dwarf to initiate "bring water" job
- Once the bucket is filled, forbid it.
- Wait for the dwarf to drop the bucket
- Un-forbid the bucket; make sure all empty buckets are forbidden
- Your medical dwarf will dutifully grab the filled bucket, and apply the cast to the dwarf. Voila!

Cheers for Dwarven Medicine!
