x(Item Name)x
« on: April 14, 2009, 04:55:49 am »
What do the "x's" mean in that situation? I have quite a lot of clothing with this before and after it. IE x(Pig tail left mitten)x
I was thinking it has something to do with possession ( because all of the items with this belong to someone) or that it had something to do with wear. As in it has gotten old and is therefore unusable. I couldn't find anything on dwarf wiki.

It's getting worn out. Worn out clothing can give your dwarves unhappy thoughts.

A list of those can also be found in-game by under one of the headings in the ? menu.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.

Just let their clothes go to ribbons and never get any more, they're quite happy as nudists.

 And I believe items with ()'s around them were not produced on site, and thus came off-map.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Yeah, I read that somewhere on the wiki.  There's a way to turn that off, since it's hard to tell a ( ) from a { }.

Wiki article on Wear

IIRC, worn out clothing does not make dwarves unhappy in this version.
