Field Hospitals: WW2 Style!

[LouisTBR]

Rather than having a downed colonist bleed out in the crossfire, you would seek your doctor and pull him off of the defensive line to go treat the casualty. This often involves the two trekking across the map to your hospital. I think you should be able to build a portable field hospital. This way your troops could carry one and make treatment much easier on the battlefield.

Description: A tepee-looking white tent with a medical cross symbol on the side.
Size: 3x3
Materials: 120 Cloth, 8 Medicine, 20 Wood
Use: Wounded colonists can be sent/carried here. Depending on their injuries, they will stay in the tent (No need for doctor) for a certain amount of time. A doctor can be present with medicine which will speed up the treatment, but also uses another colonist.
Other:Can be carried by a colonist, and placed in any spot on the map (Except non-explored).

Interesting idea.

However, why not just set up a sleeping spot nearby (assigned to medical), when you have a colonist bleeding out? It's worked well for me in the past.

the idea sounds like that, but allows for more perks, like the colonist can survive longer without treatment or it allows battlefield triage (batch up the critical wounds so they can make it safely to a proper medical facility.

Bleeding is usually slow that it doesn't matter. If the bleeding rate were increased then there would be some incentive.

Yeah, I do this more-so for injuries that are likely to get infected
