Medical beds issue?

[Catashe]

Anyone else having issues of actually getting survivors to use the new medical beds even if the beds are powered and stocked? to me they'd just rather go to their regular beds and wait for someone to heal them.. its kinda annoying considering the cost and power drain of the medical beds

They don't have the activity to go to the bed assigned to most of the schedule options.
It may also not be prioritized highly for anyone except Hope (I didn't check that).

Using it to treat humans is more costly than treating them in their beds in most cases, because it uses medkits for all healing, even if healing balm or anti-biotics are sufficient. So my guess is the behaviour may be intentional.

If you want people to use it you can give them the order manually. I use it for emergency treatment (people bleeding out), and let them do their normal thing for everything else. Hope seems to go to the medical bed on her own quite reliably though.

Yea but by the time you get the beds your probably swimming in med kits anyway so being more costly shouldn't really matter.. it just feels like it should be their first option so you basically don't have 2 people not really doing anything(yea i get ones doing the healing but they could be doing something else)

Works fine, in my game ken always runs to the automaton bed :D,
just make sure the drones didn't fill it with only repair parts,
i keep half health kits, half repair parts on that just in case.
The automaton doesn't fail but it is slower than the humans at healing as far as i could see.

Well, it may be more expensive in a certain sense, but consider that if medkits cover everything, it does simplify treatments; you no longer need so many glittercaps for balm, for one thing. Especially in the guardians scenario where burns are EVERYWHERE, only needing to get cloth and grain (for bandages and antibiotics) can be nice.

Can you still make healing balm from glittercaps? In my game that recipe is gone, and now it is made from silicon and fats (after researching it). Should I still have the glittercap option too?

I was pretty thorough about making sure that all of the mods I use were properly up-to-date for the game patch, but I could have missed something.

@jaggid find glittercaps first probably, in my desertum game i got 3 recipes silicon one which is as u mentioned, juiceleafs and glittercaps which requires 10 to make 2 balms

That's a very good point, I haven't discovered shrooms on my current playthrough yet. And on my last one I didn't get them until so far into the game that I didn't look for it on the workbench.

Good lookin' out.

shrooms are around those ponds in desertum and usually in forests in the other areas
