Do pawns ever heal from fibrous mechanites?

[Brittanian]

I have a wimp who has them so he has been in bed all month... will he ever get up?

[Brittanian]

Oh it doesn't matter now. I lost 2 people to a doomsday rocket and then the last standing got incapacitated moments later.

Guess he's never getting up now..

it takes a long time to heal. from months to a year. but sad to hear about your loss

[RoboGerbil]

if you can decrease his pain with yayo, or increase his conciousness with go juice, you can artifically get him up. should it happen in a future playthrough. other implants that can help are joywire or painstoppers. or if you get really desparate, luciferium will increase his recovery time. otherwise mechanites takes 3-5 seasons to recovery from.

meanwhile that downed pawn is counting against your population limit and potentially preventing new colonists from joining due to the critical pawn lower limit. (4 on cassandra and the other girl, 5 on randy)

The problem there is not the fibrous mechanites, but the Wimp trait.
Mechanites cause significant pain, and the wimp simply cannot deal with it. He will have to wait until fully healed, which with treatment takes a couple of *seasons*

But don't condemn the fibrous mechanites as an all-evil disease. It actually comes with some very strong advantages. Your pawn with fibrous mechanites is stronger, faster, more accurate, and heals a lot faster than even before. He is almost a super-soldier! Admittedly one that has a permanent headache, and wants to sleep it off.
Just administer some mild painrelief, and something to help him stay awake. Psychite tea works like a charm for both!


But yeah.. Not for a Wimp.

Wait a pawn is a wimp and you still allowed him to have his organs?

What Rimworld player are you?

When you only have 5, you take what you can get.
I mean, one of them was even a pyromaniac, but they had a very good social and shooting skill soooo...

Click on the pawn.
Look where say "Health", there is "Operations"
Buy yayo or go juice and give it to him.

Only 5 pawns and enemies with doomsday rockets? Seems that something gone wrong long before...

[Malli]

I have a militia and 34 of them got this. It sucked to have only 16 of my 50 soldiers moving

[TwoTonGamer]

Pushing a probable, serious drug addiction on a "Wimp" colonist...you guys are incorrigible.

OP, sorry to hear about your loss. Every playthrough makes you better, though!

[corisai]

Yup, "Wimp" is among deadly sins or "may we borrow your organs please?" for me.

Suicide bomber vest mod + wimp = finally useful

[Schton]

Yes they do.
