Dead bodies broke my doctors

[Zukaro Travon]

All the remaining dead bodies in my prison say "Todo: Heal Prisoner", and as a result all my doctors just sit there freaking out, and don't heal anyone.


My prison has a lot of dead bodies. ಠ_ಠ



How do I fix it?

[Rinnsanity]

Your Doctors must have gotten a bad case of PTSD if those dead bodies "broke" your Docs.

lol am I right? right?......... guys?



Okay so you arn't the first person to get this problem but its mainly because of the Alpha 31 update, it pretty much broke everything. the Todo: Heal Prisoner has to do with the fact that taking dead bodies to the hearse or morgue used to be the guards thing to do, now Doctors have it, and I think its conflicting with what the doctors already are programmed to do.

You might search the dead bodies, that sometimes gets them going, or even taking down a nearby wall sometimes "opens" new "options" for the doctors.

Some people have said to try and edit your prison files, but, I'm not going to lead you down a rabbit hole on that one. :)

I've tried pretty much all of that. :V

Also sort of tried editing the prison files, but since I had about 200 prisoners that wasn't gonna go anywhere so I gave up and just made a new prison. :p



In the new one I'm just keeping the prisoner count super small so none of them murder eachother. ._____________.

This issue only seems to impact prisoners though, it doesn't seem to happen to guards or workers.

Yeeaaaahhh..... Lets hope bugbash comes around soon :3

yeah same thing happened to me i have 300 prisoners now all the doctors do is shake their needles and don't move. The Todo is for these bodys to get healed and need to be moved. So it is like they do not know what to do.

I opted into beta, ran my prison for awhile and saved it again. then opted out of beta, loaded the save. they are acting normal again

[Zukaro Travon]

So I made my new prison, and everything was going well. I had enough cells for every prisoner, and a lot of work for them to do. All the programs were running etc. I had about 50 prisoners.

Then one of the cell blocks caught fire out of the blue and a bunch of people died. Then I called in the firemen, and sent them in; one of course ran directly into the fire and died. During all this the prisoners of course, started to riot. And then a bunch started escaping out the hole in the wall from the fire. And then I had no money left to repair the damage.

And now there's two or three dead bodies which the doctor wants to heal (I don't hire more than two doctors cuz they just break; one of the doctors died in the fire though).

On a side note, I assume maximum security prisoners make your prison more dangerous/likely to riot? Since I figured this was likely, I disabled intake of max security. Yet for some reason I now have 5 or more maximum security prisoners (I've assigned them all perminate punishments to keep them out of the way :V).

Yeah anyway i think opting into beta reverts to a previous version. So do this make a new save then Opt out of beta, load the save u made. The doctors go back to normal, but you will have to unlock lawyers again and i had to build a chapel and parole room again, and reception room (old version turns these into Cell rooms), the opt in dosent have this stuff. But it fixed the doctors so i guesse it was worth it- they pick up bodys now

I imagine if you sack your doctors, the Heal Prisoner job will be erased. Not sure what job they'll get then, but maybe the workers will dispose of them, and/or then hire new doctors.

This doesn't provide a real solution.

Yes, you can revert to the beta, but the problem will arise again when you go back to your old prison sooner or later. This bug has ruined an entire prison for me, it's gamebreaking. The doctors walk around like complete idiots, don't dispose of bodies, occasionally work but mostly not. If you can't dispose of bodies, you really cannot play the game without going into beta everytime somebody dies.

it is not everytime someone dies, takes quite awhile for them to start acting up again, a few game days at least. do you have a better solution?

I've tried this, it doesn't work.

Personally I haven't had dead-body problems ever since I got rid of my Morgue.

Yeah that works, remove your mourge--- then tell the glitched doctors to go some place they will return to normal and begin taking the bodys to the Herse's. Dont build a morgue

Helps anyway they still glitch out but at least stuff gets done-- might be better not to build one in the first place, i also kill 30 prisoners a day on a good day and have over 350 prisoners--even in that after removing the moruge some have begun moving bodys again and treating injured. Best thing to do untill a patch.

I removed my moruge in the opt in then saved and opted out. Just had a 100 man riot doctors are doing their jobs.

I was able to solve this by editing the save file and removing all of the "Heal Prisoner" entries from the job queue.
