I cleared the hospital, then ran around checking containers in my usual kleptomanic fashion, then shift-m'ed. Now the doctors say they can't help me because "Someone ripped off our supplies" (oops). They won't take med kits from me or anything. Will they get supplies on their own, is it a lost cause, or is there anything I can do?

I learned that the hard way myself. If you steal any of the med supplies from the outer warehouse then your chances of getting healed up are slim. You can take everything you find from inside the hospital ok, but not the warehouse.

I have not a clue if those supplies "replenish" after a while. If you take them.

First time I came to the hospital I picked the warehouse clean before talking to the staff. I still had three severely wounded mercs after using most of the supplies but my finances were great so I thought I could afford it. I was so disapointed when they couldn

It's a lost cause,unless you have an earlier save.

I remember my first time......It was a relief when I discovered that I still could receive med. treatment,cause I only had taken goods from the hospital,not from the warehouse outside.
But only realised that much later,when Ira was already a pro doc...... Very Happy

It's a lost cause,unless you have an earlier save.


I just browsed the portion of the source code about that and saw that you can theoretically resupply the hospital: if you drop in the sector the same amount or more of medical supplies (medikit, 1st aid kit, regen. boost and energy boost) than what you stole, doctoring should be enabled again.

"Ownership" might be an issue though, because the code looks if the medical stuff belongs to "the doctors" group. I know nothing about ownership in that game, but I remember I dropped several weapons in one of the smith's crates in Grumm and he insulted me like a thief when I took them back later.

So, maybe if you drop enough medical stuff in the crates in the warehouse ...

I don't remember ppl being able to recruit him after stealing medical supplies....

At least the guide,says you can't.Although by the little test I could make,after more than 1 day that I've stolen a med kit,Vince only said something about employees stealing supplies,but didn't refuse to give treatment.And I suppose you could recruit him,but haven't tested it out.

What now? :whoknows:

I prefer to keep the warehouse full just in case.I don't need THAT quantity of med supplies anyway.

Ownership is invisible & in the box or crate. It covers everything in the box and is not tagged to individual items. Just place some spare medical stuff back in the boxes or other "junk" like alcohol or x-ray tubes and I'm sure your error will be forgiven.

just adding:

- there was something about the girl in Tony/Hans's shop: don't kill her.
(at least not untill you recruited Vince, I'm not sure what happens if you kill her afterwards.)
- Joey the kid-quest had to be solved before the doctor joins.

No need for that...Just raise loyalty to >=80%.

I tried and it worked :cheers:

I had to do it twice, maybe because the first time I dropped 1st aid kits, regeneration and energy boosts in piles of 3 or 4 and they may have been counted as one item only.

You have to reload the sector (leave and come back) to trigger the medical supplies check function.

If your loyalty in Cambria is very high, you can get your mercs healed for free.

Haven't tested it yet......I always talk with that cutie little thing........ :naughty:

Then Vince charges a little fee....Not that I need that though.And it's not THAT high either.I just do that for fun.

I don't use the services of Arnie either.How will I raise Barry mech that way? :blah:

in stomp, it is as you say


but that is totally irrelevant as he can't be and never could be hired

someone (sandro?) played a practical joke on you - if you need more scouts, get them with your imps

Unless something has changed with 1.13, "medical supplies" were always strictly defined as med kits and first-aid kits - I have always been able to steal whatever else is in the crates in the warehouse (energy/regen boosts, gasmasks) without ever incurring any penalty receiving medical treatments from the docs or being able to recruit Vince.

"Hand tailored"?

No, I'm no modder. Until last year (or maybe 2009) I played 1.06 or 1.07 and was always able to get Vince/get medical treatment so long as I left the med kits and first aid kits in their crates. Anything else I could take. Don't think I've got far enough with a 1.13 game yet to test out whether this is still the case, but it certainly used to be.....

It is question of sequence. Vince will even steal the med supplies himself AFTER being recruited.

It was always so that the greyed out stuff was a nono if You wanted med. treatment.
I never tried stealing only particular greyed out goodies, since I neither use the hospital nor doctoring (in regular games). But others reported that they had (German forums) and that greyed out was greyed out.

My 1. squad are normally the 6 fittest (6/32).

Hmmm, this is not my recollection - I'll give it a test. Maybe not all of the stuff in the warehouse was grey in 1.06? I am certain that I was able to get treated and recruit Vince after taking the energy/regen boosts though - never recruited Vince and then half-inched it.

I do so hate being wrong - but on this occasion, I'm right.

Have just fired up a previous iteration of v1.13 (3042, build 09.06.28) and loaded up a save - I have Vince on the team (recruited day 69) and have robbed the Cambria hospital warehouse of all gasmasks and boosters, leaving only med kits and first aid kits in the crates. The robbery would certainly have happened more or less as soon as I took the sector (day 49) so it's definitely not the case of using Vince to do the stealing. As the actual medical supplies have not been touched, there's no problem getting medical treatment, either.

Happy to provide a save if anyone wants it.
