Are grave illness and care houses broken? NEW HOME SPOILERS

[Trambolikus]

Tl,dr: Have plenty of heated care houses open, but the gravely ill keep dying form "lack of treatment", before getting treated at the infirmary.

For a bit of context, I'm trying to get the iron savior achievement, and by the time the three waves of sick refugees before the storm arrive, I'm unable to prevent my people from dying like flies. I have plenty of medical posts and more than enough care houses, but deaths from "lack of treatment" keep happening, I got like 17 in 3 days. I don't know if care houses are broken or they just don't work as I think they do (based o the game's words). Do they just not have time to get to the care house, or from it to the infirmary? The UI doesn't even show any "red alert" from ill people, they all are supposedly under treatment. Thanks in advance.

This is the health interface right after two of my people die and a refugee wave arrives, as you can see - despite obvious spanish- there are lots of empty patient slots open, and all citizens are being treated.

damn. maybe ur in hard mode where peoples needs are much "harsher" ? or ur carehouse and infirmary is at "on" status right?

Do NOT mix Sustain Life together with Faith.

[Hope is beautiful]

yeah. I always choose radical treatment. then research prosthetics and make them later on for those limbs taken out.

Yeah, double checked everything. Max level heaters and warm zones, same for houses and medical posts-infirmaries. That's something the UI shows fairly well luckily.

It's full hard diffculty, yes. I uploaded a screenshot of my health buildings, none of them paused or anything.

ALRIGHT this game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ crazy but at least the bugs compensate each other: I got the iron saviour achievement in the end, so the salt is washed away, hopefully they'll fix these issues eventually.

The thing is that the gravely ill are being in the carehouse. And carehouse is far enough from medbay. They go out to go to medbay and to be treated and die on the road. They are too sick to survive the trip to get healed.
I had the same thing going on and that's what I figured. When I placed infimary I got a bunch of dead people. I reloaded the game and placed it as close as I could to the carehouse and nobody died.
Hope this will help you to resolve the problem ^_^

Because sermons. When these happen, gravely ill people in the care house walks to a house of prayer, and since they are now technically untreated for being outside a medical facility, they die while praying. At least with Radical Treatment amputees can survive this journey just fine.
And if Demonic Blight is right about the move to Infirmaries as well, then simply don't pick Sustain Life ever because ironically this kills all your gravely ills. At this point this has to be a bug.

Okay that makes a lot of sense, guys. I had made a similar deduction based on distance, especially when they arrive en masse from the frozen wasteland, but I hadn't actually thought about sermons killing them. Seems like it could very well be an unexplained mechanic more than a bug, as it makes sense and puts more depth to ctiy layout, but I doubt it. Thanks a lot, guys. Guess i'll never get golden path in the end XD. It's cripples a'plenty now.

fyi, when it happened to me, the care house and the house of prayer was right next to each other and they all still died.

Do they treat gravely ill in house of prayer?

[erneiz]

nono, Sustain life put gravely ills in care houses and house of prayers are where sermons are done. When the sermon is taking place they walk right next door and die.

No bugs.
It's result of:
1. Hard mode
2. Bad city infrastructure planning
3. Religious laws backside
