While clothing does provide some protection against the elements and damage, it does not provide the ultimate protection armor can.Īrmor can be worn over clothing and comes with a number of pros and cons. When you first start out, you will probably only have some simple clothing to give your colonists. It also seems that when you form your caravan, prisoners will follow you if you select them in the caravan screen.In Rimworld, pawns are often under attack by wild animals, robots, or raids from other factions. I did some more testing and the same thing happens when you are attacking. Healing the prisoner is still a good idea so I don't mind placing a bed.Īlso, I did not test while attacking an enemy base, only during ambushes, but I think that you can do the same thing.

It does not seems this is currently an expected behaviour in the game but it would be nice to have those few issues fixed or have some new system that do not force you to put them in a bed immediately. I did not find a workaround other than not waiting after healing him, or simply not healing him. Sometimes and after some time with the prisoner in the bed, you will not be able to carry him outside the area.This is fixed by marking and unmarking the prisoner bed. Sometimes, you cannot re-use the prisoner bed after carrying someone outside of the area.You should be able to capture him once again. It seems there might be a bug that drops him on the ground when the caravan enters an area. Once you bring the caravan to your colony, you have to be careful to capture the enemy once again (this is your second shot at thinking about the value of his life). You can make him move anywhere you want just like a regular caravan.

This will create a new caravan with the prisoner and his personal transport (aka your friend).

Once you did that or decided that his life is not worth that much to you (which you should consider since he wanted to kill your friends), you can right click on him and you will have an option to carry him outside the area. You will be able to capture him and put him in the bed or a sleeping area marked for prisoners.Īt this point, you can wait for your people to give him some basic heal. You then need to build a prisoner bed on the same map as that enemy. To capture an enemy, you first need to have a downed enemy in the map (duh!). I did some testing with the developer tools and here is what I found.
