"03/12/2012 Toady One Next up I'm going to mess around with clothing a bit. There are a few obstacles to getting them to pick up clothes, and I've fixed the easy one. I stopped people with injuries from obsessing forever over unusable objects, but I want to make that better so that they don't think about them at all after one initial check. Getting it all to work together with uniforms, current inventory, injuries, available items, modded bodies and layering restrictions is always tricky, but that's the project. I'm also going to handle owned items that just sit out on the floor forever and deal with damaged clothing."

Toady posted this today. This is one fix I've been eager for for a long time. It seems that finally it will come to pass. No need to mod out clothes anymore!

I wonder if this will uncover some of the other long term slowdown issues. Like the items that no longer exist still causing fps drop.

Anyway, Hurray for upcoming bugfixes!

I am happy to see some work with uniforms and injuries in there as well...the two most annoying bugs for me are non functioning (properly) militaries that result in unnecessary injuries only to have that injured dwarf transported to my hospital while all the docs just look at him and dont help him in any way

Yes, this is great news. The clothing fixes alone will be worth more to me than all of the new features in 0.34 combined. Managing a population of 200 nude beardies on a mountain of moldering XXSocksXX is far less interesting than it sounds

At last the end of nudity!

Could this also mean an end to greedy little brats who claim several cabinets worth of clothing.

I think it does. After all, at leas as I understand it, the claiming is caused by the naked dwarves. Dwarf notices he/she isn't wearing any clothes, claim new one, is unable to wear it, notices he/she is still missing clothes...

But yeah, HURRAY FOR BUGFIXES!!

So, no more: Urist is caught in ambush. Dastot rushes out to get Urist's socks, dies in ambush. Mistem rushes out to get Dastot's socks..

I am honestly saddened; this is the end of an era. Soon the sock-claiming spiral of doom will join Elephants and Carp as an almost-forgotten terror of the past.

Forbid on death, default in game from at least 31.25.

No it is not. It's deafult with invaders and merchants, but not with dwarves.

And yeah, that bugfix will be awesome. There's clever reason for clothing industry!

Actually, I can still see this happening. From now on they don't claim the sock to themselves, they just try to bring it to stockpile. At least that's what 90% of my haulers who die in annual Sock Rush are doing...

If you have an ambush you should be setting your alert burrow on anyway, surely.

I think I'm going to like this bugfix release more than .34

I doubt he'll do anything with doctors, as they work pretty well right now.  I think he means dwarves with injuries that prevent them from moving/storing items or doing certain jobs i.e. dwarves wtih no hands.

That said, I'm THRILLED.

[Gizogin]

Yes, this is something I'm really excited about.  Ever since I learned about the impossibility of replacing clothing, I've just completely ignored the entire clothing industry.  This bugfix will add an entirely new level of stuff to my gameplay!

I read it that he currently has a problem with dwarves missing a hand trying to put on a gauntlet...

It's really nice to know that toady does listen to our whiney, bitchy, never-ending complaints and is sorting out the two which gets the loudest complaints.

So what else do you think he'll fix out of the great old bugs?

Same here.  I was disappointed to find out that the clothing bug existed, because it made a large industry only useful as caravan fodder, which means I didn't care about it at all.

When this fix goes in, I'll download .34 and give it a try, since I still have a nice fort in .31.25.

I could have sworn that Toady said he already fixed the bug with soap, lye and buckets, but I've read others are still having the problem.  If it still exists, I'm pretty confident it will get fixed since it's been around forever too.
