Does anyone, perhaps a developer, happen to know the default odds and/or the curves used by the storytellers?

One of my generators had a breakdown.

Paradoxically though it was still burning fuel!

I was asking what, not why.

I know that it's game balance

I'm just asking what exactly triggers it, and at what levels.

Ah, sorry. A random roll. Something like 2/3 or 3/4ths of all raiders just die, no matter what, when they go down. It's in the code. It does not depend on level or storyteller, at least from what I've seen written in these forums.

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know.  Do you happen to have a citation?

So what exactly causes raiders to die when I beat them up with fists?

Besides the obvious causes of death that would kill anyone of course (metabolism or consciousness to zero, loss of a vital body part, fatal disease, etc).

I double checked, lavish includes everything.  Zone restriction is not there.

Yes, chatting and doctoring both work, I just get the "no food" error.

I also would like to note I'm having similar problems with other raw type foods, like rice.

Warden is refusing to feed my starving malnourished prisoner.

I have a fresh turkey corpse in the fridge, and now in the same room as the prisoner and still refuses to feed the prisoner even though I can still force-consume the corpse myself as the colonist.

I confirmed that the prisoner had lavish food restriction.

I do have mods active but I don't think they're interfering with the food system.

Save file is too big to attach

The icons on the globe view aren't sorted properly.  Often times, especially at the edges of the globe, icons for colonies behind others Z-wise are drawn after.  The ones closer to the camera/eye should be drawn last because they should be the ones doing the obscuring.

Suggestion: Before drawing icons, sort them from back to front and draw in that order.

Plus if caravans can be ambushed and hijacked it's not like the game can safely count them as part of inventory.

Though I think that items in a colonist's inventory (as opposed to a stockpile) don't count anyway.  I'm pretty sure actually now that I think about it that caravans have nothing to do with it.

I currently run Pharmacist by Fluff, and am considering Smart Medicine as well.

Herein lies the problem.

Presently IIRC the medical API just looks at the worst wound and then grabs a bunch of medicine for it without even checking to see how much is really needed.

What if instead:

1.  When a doctor job is run, take the patient and iterate through all their wounds and do the "pick a medicine" hooks.
2.  When each wound has been tallied, add up all the results and pick up that much medicine.
3.  Go to the patient, and use the medicines as directed one at a time.  It's ok if the medicine is good enough to treat multiple wounds at the same time, but if this is the case then don't forget to skip medicine selections for a wound that has already been treated.  This implies that each wound needs to be tracked separately.

Presently, Fluffy's pharmacist mod is unable to tell the doctor to only grab one medicine to treat a patient that has just a single deadly wound but a bunch of simple bruises with it.  For obvious reasons I'd like to only have the doctor bring one medicine and save the rest for my other patient having a nasty case of malaria.

Also for the record I just found out this food selection thing was from a mod.

You should be allowed to specify what stockpile a work bill should pull its ingredients from.  The ingredient radius thing is nice, but its fixed shape (a round circle) interferes with my freedom, and if I want to retain flexibility it interferes with an "industrial" layout of packed kitchens that have specialties.

For example, it would make it much simpler to implement a "feed stockpile" by plopping a stockpile square right in front of the stove and then picking it as the stove bill's input.
