Clothing and Uniforms
« on: June 10, 2013, 08:54:52 pm »
I dislike having to fiddle with clothing that constantly wears out, but I also don't want to have to set up 250-odd dwarves in squads and fiddle with those to get them all to wear leather armor. So, I was wondering...

I know that certain jobs secretly assign a uniform, like miner is assigned civvy clothes and a pick as "uniform." How hard would it be to mod the game so that everyone who has, let's say, alchemy enabled is assigned a leather armor uniform?

dfhack has two tweaks
Code: [Select]
tweak military-color-assigned
tweak military-stable-assign
that make getting everyone into a squad super easy.

I'm curious about this as well. I've got a 400+ Dwarf Fort, and I'm trying to get all the males in to squads, but still have the females equipped with some basic armor so they can defend themselves too. Best I've had so far was to make *everyone* a Trapper/Hunter and hope they picked up some leather gear.
