Well I've created what I call an "emergency button."

It's a smelter reaction in the raws that creates armor of various types for one last decent fight before my fort goes down to those goblin hordes (and I mean multiple ambushes with leaders).

The issue is that it only creates large items my last dwarves (who are screwed anyhow) can't use.

How do I make it create smaller armor they can wear?

[Vattic]

You cant unfortunately. If you need to create armour I'd suggest you use a reaction to make bars and then craft the armour. Not ideal given the emergency  but its better than making dwarves able to wear large items.

[Truean]

Sounds good. Thanks for the info.

The fort's been running years and is about on the brink anyhow .
