Tending bug?

[miitzabataie]

...where my pawns assault the person they are tending in my latest run.
Weird happened a bunch of times, where downed enemy pawns were assaulted by my medics.
Cant confirm it has happens when healing my own pawns.
I got simple sidearms mod, a bunch of others but only simple sidearms is newish in this run.

any1 has had similar issues, where the medic hits the pawn they are tending when a tend finishes?

What may have happen is that it wasn't a bug. It might have been that the pawn was downed because of an injury, and once the injury was tended it was enough for the pawn to get up again and became hostile right away. This means the pawn will attack the medic that was the closest. Which means the medic will defend itself.

If your medics are treating while drafted, they'll attack enemy pawns who stand up. Tends to happen when they've lost a limb or digit and that is tended to, since it cuts the pain substantially.

With the Imprisonment on the Go mod, you can simply arrest the downed enemy before tending, which should substantially reduce the risk of injury to either party and avoid unnecessary further conflict.

You may have been lucky - or unlucky - before. I have this happen all the time when tending on the field, since that's usually how I skill up all my non-primary medics. It's good to give all your soldiers at least a little medical skill on the side if they're capable of it, not just for missions but you never know when your primary caretakers may come down with the plague or malaria or an ax in the back.

They'll be out tending those hapless raiders when someone who was at like 81% pain and had a pinky shot off has that stump bandaged and suddenly they feel like they're okay to just limp off the field leaving a thick trail of blood as if they're not surrounded by armed enemies and the person tending them decides to riflebutt the jerk until they stay down. If they're lucky, none of the others have enough time to aim their weapons and fire.
