I never paid much attention before, but it doesn't seem like the colonists are using the medicine. I have 4 of them incapacitated right now and only food is being brought to them by the others, who have Doctoring enabled. The medicine is in the stockpile, and definitely not forbidden.

Yeah, medicine, shells, and uranium don't actually do anything right now XD I think theyre getting removed for alpha 4.
Check out BetterPower+ and all its derivatives by clicking the picture below.

It adds many new methods of power generation and uses for it, as well as other things such as incidents.

Oh, thanks for the answer. I actually did a forum search before posting and it's kinda weird that nobody had asked this.

It's a pity if they are removed, I like the idea of spending resources to heal your colonists faster.

They were implemented without an real use atm, so they will likely come back if Tynan has given us some ways to use it, besides of trading.

I assume they were added currently just as trade goods; Though they'll be added in later for more advanced buildings and tools I believe is the idea

One of the mods uses medicine to make a medical bed (search for MedBed, I think) that works as a bed and heals colonists extremely quickly, so that's useful :/
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here

Uranium is usable with some mods medkits for the MedBed mod but shells and missles are totally useless and only tradable for money. Unless you find a mod for it
