How to heal Injuries

[goldlife]

how can you heal injuries?

I have a settler with a sprained ankle and one with a broken foot. I built a clinic and assigned a settler as a doctor. Although the doctor is working, the injured go in only briefly and do NOT come out cured.

hm okay, after a couple of time the injuries are healed. It was weird because the settlers went many times into the clinic before they were healed.

You need to produce a bandage to heal quickly. Before that, the treatment will take longer.

this make sense.
But it is confusing because it is not apparent or not explained. You could show this as a tooltip for injuries.

I second some sort of tooltip or something, I had to come here to look for an answer because it looked like it wasn't working at all.

Its deep in the health tree. Unlocks with pharmacy. Takes a ton of resources to produce in volume and its also consumed by medicine production.

I third the recommendation that there needs to be some sort of tooltip stating that the Clinic is ACTUALLY working/showing a Healing percentage bar or something for the patient. I've had a single colonist sitting in the Clinic with a Fractured Ankle Injury for 4 ingames months, the whole time the Doctor has been "Hard at work", but I'm seeing absolutely no improvement in the affected settlers stats and they're still injured. As far as I can tell, they aren't getting better, and I've spent the last 30 minutes pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to actually heal injuries.

Edit: After reading comments, I decided to speed up time. Beatrice got the Fractured Ankle Injury in Month 4, year 1. She wasn't healed until Month 11, Year 1.

7 months to heal a fractured ankle?!? That's insane!! Especially when the doctor can presumably only work on one patient at a time. This needs some serious balancing and a better explanation ingame.

Ahhh I see, I played it in german and the pharmacy point just tells me they can only produce cream and medical ointment. Maybe they forgot to include bandages in the German translation.
