Title: How to save a colonist that requires treatment during a mental break?
Post by: Sola on February 22, 2019, 01:54:27 AM
If I have a great unit that's in the middle of a daze, but also has an infection that needs treatment, what do I do about this?

Last time I arrested one of my own pawns to heal them during a break, it took well over a week to re-recruit them.  Just now, I waited for it to go extreme with pawns at the ready to rescue and treat, but it was too late.

Tips and tricks?

Incapacitate them.

I melee them until they're downed.

You don't have to re-recruit your colonists them, just release them.

Beat them unconscious with your other colonists' fists / pistol-butts. Then you can haul them to a medical bed for treatment, and you don't need to re-recruit them.

Yup. 

As an aside, you can banish without the mood penalty by capturing a colonist, then "accidentally" leaving every door between them and the map edge open....whoopsie doopsie
