Did You Know: Equipping your companions is A Thing now
« on: July 27, 2014, 11:22:43 pm »

Yep, get the items (armor/weapons), trade personal items - mark all the items yours will replace on their side and mark all the items you want to give to them, press the "t" button - and voila, they should rearrange their equipment.
If they drop anything then it's likely because they couldn't equip it.

My game is slightly bugged as they do not rearrange their equipment any longer. They keep what I give them, but that's pretty much where it ends.

Not sure why this is so.

I would assume that you're using 0.40.05?
Because it didn't work for me back in 0.40.02 (and I haven't tried .03/04), but it sure worked in .05.

couldn't or WOULDN'T?
I took the cap off one of my buddies once and gave him a helmet to wear but he always thanked me and dropped it :\ (yes it was his size)

Tecnically, that's always been the reason why we have companions, since the beginning.

Companions are not weapons, they are shields.

Technically they're neither in vanilla at the moment, since they run for the hills at the slightest sign of danger.

(And then the game thinks they're trying to fight you when you speak to them again (cease hostilities? Never!), fortunately it goes away after a while.)

They aren't thrown weapons?

Does it works for zombies you reanimate too? (asuming they are in shape to wield the equipment)

No, because zombies don't react to anything said to them, and they don't reanimate with their equipment. (This last part is rather silly.)

Yes, I'm using 40.05 with a save folder from 40.04. My companion doesn't reorganize. He just hoards.
