New clothes
« on: June 10, 2009, 01:10:21 pm »

Is it possible to make dwarfs change there clothes? At the moment all my dwarves are running around in rages while i have a stockpile full of spider silk clothes, so is it possible to force my dwarves to put on sometyhing respectable?

Once the dwarven economy kicks in, they'll start wanting new clothes and you'll have to set up shops.

Before that, I'm really not sure...you could try dumping their clothes from their inventory and see what happens.  Aside from that, I'm not sure you can force anything.

I had a bunch of people running around in XX clothing. I also had the biggest shopping complex I'd ever set up- over 15 shops, all of which were owned and stocked by someone or other. And yet, even though this guy had over 2000 money, he never changed any of his clothes.

What if you decide to turn off the dwarven economy, will they still change clothes then?

Are you sure those shops were stocked with clothes?  As near as I know, dwarves pick what they want to sell.

Interesting question.  Let us know.  Like I said, if you dump their clothes from their inventory, they might go find new ones to wear, honestly never tried it.
