Dup won't use the med bed

[kamhart]

I have assigned an ill dup to the med bed, made sure it is temperate and has all the necessities as well as making sure he is assigned to nothing else, he still refuses to stay in the bed. He walks there, then leaves and the bed is unassigned. He is at 44% health.

Set its priority to 6, double check the bed is connected to the food and toilets. Remember that beds follow line of site rules for connected food and toilets. I do find this interesting because I have had no troubles with my own med beds at 5 priority.

I had to set my med beds to P9 in order to get the dupes to stay in them, but I make heavy use of the higher priorities. Another option would be to remove mosto f that dupes Jobs so it is encouraged to stay "idle".

On theu pside if you check out the oil update preview they have solved this issue by adding a "Room" system so the dupes will stay in the designated medbay unless you go to red alert.

Thanks for both replies. I have a toilet and washbasin for the bed as well as food storage. I have the bed set at 9 priority and nothing else is set that high. Additionally, I have assigned the bed to that dupe and I have already removed all of the dupes jobs. The issue is resolved as the dupe ultimately died. :(

The message is too late but it may help someone with the similar issue.
Still there is something weird and I'm curious.

He died from what already? Or if he died of an illness was he using the bed at some point.

If not it was a real bug...

First 44% health is not supposed to be sick. It mean he has 44% left before he get sick and need to use the medical bed. It's one of the reason why he did not stay in the medical bed. At least at first when you wrote the original post. At this point he was not sick.

You said you removed all job. Maybe massage too ? If you removed it he may had too much stress to get a cure when he got sick for real.

I noticed that some dupe do not want to get proper cure if they are too stressed. So we need to relax them too. But the bed stay assigned they just do not use it long enough.

Usually once they are sick we see how many cycle before they die and how many cycle before recovery and know the name of the sickness. . We need to keep the recovery cycle bellow the death one. And pretty sure it say 0% health.
0 % is when they become sick. Before that they do not want to use medical treatment.

It's not need anymore for the med bed to work. Place it wherever you want, it will work.

Untill oil upgrade is fully out its best not to assume that people are using it. That is why I cover the old mechanic.

I have a dupe at 28% immunity.
I have her locked in the Med Bay (the room has all amenities to make it a Med Bay, even food and meds in a refrigerator).
I have both Pharma Chambers & Med Beds, both at 9 priority.
I assign her to either (one at a time). She walks to them, then unassigns herself from them - at night she prefers to sleep on the floor.
Her immunity is crashing and I can't get her to rest & heal up in a Chamber or Bed.
Any ideas?

Wow necro post from a year ago lol

As to your actual question, The medbay won't do anything for falling Immunity. You need an Apothacary making Vitamin pills for that.

The Medbay only does something when they have low health or actually catch a illness (not just carrying germs). Though after they recover they do get about 10% of their immunity back but they have to hit 0% and actually get sick first.

+1 on the Vitamin Pills; don't forget that you can stockpile them a bit ahead of time in the fridge, and then un-check Consumables for all dupes until specific Dupes need them.

If they do get an actual sick status, you can X out all their priorities and unassign their job. Then click the Med-Bed and assign it to them. Bonus if you have built a sick bay.
