Are you sure, that you have a colonist assigned to doctoring in "work" tab? Also, does it have high enough priority?

I may have had this issue, it seems like injured allies do not get food, even though they have 'gets food' checked. I was able to force them to get food by right clicking on them.

does the injured npc have some wounds that stop him from being able to eat? maybe a completely damaged stomach or something else

I had two citizens as doctors with "1" prioryty.

I can  give food by force to my citizens and prisones, but not to ally NPC.

This ally don't have damaged stomach.


I can't give him drugs or food. When citizens go to hospital I can change this option. For ally there is no similar option.

ah, I guess I'm starting to understand correctly now.

So your patient is neither one of your colonists, nor a raider. Correct ?
Did you rescue him ?



//edit
I kinda solved your problem by making the bed where Diver was lying in into a normal bed. Then I assigned one of your doctors to rescue diver => he was put into one of the other beds. Afterwards I was able to assign the wardens to feed Diver.

A weird bug.

As far as I read your text, you did not rescue the NPC yourself, correct? Maybe this is the source of this bug. Could you perhaps provide a save file, where Diver was not yet in that bed ?

In my case, I had this happen after rescuing a downed ally who came to help with an infestation.

Yes.

Did you rescue him ?

Not manually. I just found him in bed. He must go there alone or somebody/something rescue him automatically.

It's really weird behavior of game. Unfortunately I don't have other saves.

In my case, I had this happen after rescuing a downed ally who came to help with an infestation.

In my case it was also guy who came to my colony to help with defense.

so the bug report would be something like

Friendly defenders use the colony's hospital beds on their own and cannot be fed afterwards (treating is possible).
After de-signing the hospital bed into a normal one and afterwards manually rescuing the friendly NPC, he can be fed as intended.

looking for a moderator now, who can hand over this issue to the devs ...

[Kusio]

Thank You for help and advice. So now we need to wait?

[14m1337]

I already contacted one of the moderators, but it seems it takes some time these days
Perhaps you should rename your thread to something like "[A16] Friendly NPC enters colony hospital bed on his own and is not feedable afterwards"
This would be a more exact summary of the problem.

[Kusio]

Done :]. Thanks again.

This happened to me to. Some allies came to help against some mechs. They didn't do anything until I thought the battle was over and released my colonist. But apparently there was one more that went the long way around my outer defenses. That's when the allies took over and took it down all by themselves. Later I noticed that one of them was in a hospital bed. I couldn't make any of my colonists do anything to help him so I assumed he would slowly heal on his own. But later he died of his wounds. I didn't think to change the bed and then rescue him. I'll do that next time if it happens again.
