Rimworld | Tip #5 | Self-tending | How to Treat Injuries in a Solo Survival Scenario
Your pawn is bleeding out, but instead of patching herself back up, Rimworld merely tells you that self-tending is disabled, or that your character can't self-tend. You're probably playing naked brutality for the first time, and you haven't got another pawn to do the doctoring. This video explains how to solve this common newbie obstacle.
A disabled feature by default, it's very easy to overlook it on the pawn's Health tab. There's no shame in not knowing how to enable self-tending on your Rimworld pawns. Not only useful in solo survival, but any time you have a character with a few scrapes and bruises that don't warrant the full doctoring experience.
Honestly, despite its drawbacks, I use self-tending all the time regardless of the number of characters I have. If it's just a few scratches from a wild hare or something, there's no point in bleeding all over the floors of your compound, leaving a trail of gore all the way to your medical bed. Because you just know that one of your other pawns is going to see that, be grossed out, and it will become the nail in the coffin that finally pushes him over the edge to a mental break!
There's clearly a drawback, though. Longer to heal, and potentially a greater chance of infection.
