Disabling clothes rotting?
« on: January 04, 2011, 04:43:01 am »
As clothes can rot, I've read that Dwarves will not put on new clothes when their originals has worn out, permanently running around naked.

Is there a fix you can mod for this? Perhaps making clothes never wear out?


Edit : Did some more searching, seems a lot of people ask this question.
Disregard this, I suck socks.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

all clothes wear out. The only alternative is making them armors and manually assign them to your dorfs via military. However, due to bug #3838, this'd leave npc creatures without pants or socks, including sieger. A walk around for this is to make all non-dorf races different size of dorfs and assign special combat-class "clothings" for them.

You can try using the entity and armors raw of my mod, since they are made to do the stuff above.

EDIT: I have some smelly XXGiant Cave Spider Silk SockXXs, would you want some?

According to this, removing [soft] from any and all clothing should result in it not wearing out. I haven't tested it, though I'm meditating about modding this in for my next regen (doing it now, even if it worked, would do nothing, since all my dwarves' original clothing has already decayed).

[SOFT] no longer imply no rot. instead it means the item can be made from clothes or silk. Whether something rot is determined by its armor layer status. If it's an armor, it wont rot, simple as that. I've done some testing and [HARD] iron socks still rot so ye...

OK, that's good to know, as well as disappointing.

Thread necromancy, I call upon thee!  I didn't want to clutter up the forum, so I necroposted.

Has a solution for rotting clothes been finally found? I remember we had some serious !SCIENCE! done on the subject, but it eludes me if we had everl solved this problem.

Just delete all clothing from the entities in question, leaving armor, and imagine that people are still wearing clothes.  Only way to prevent the clothes from rotting.

I like fortresses because they are still underground.
