Modded caste won't wear clothes
« on: February 11, 2020, 05:23:17 am »
I've recently merged two much larger creatures as castes within an existing one (trolls and ogres for goblins) to create a sort of federated entity. However in fortress mode they don't spawn with clothes despite modding them to be intelligent nor will they accept clothes from other creatures of similar size despite complaining about the lack of clothes.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Is this a body tag issue or is there something else at play beyond my hamfisted method?

Probably due to their Body size being much larger than dwarves Body size...

PTW - I was under the impression that clothes made for a creature somehow fit all castes - even if body-sizes don't actually make sense.

My only suggestion would be to put [EQUIPS] further up,before defining details of the castes - it will apply to all of them.

Ahh, that was what went wrong. Going back over the entry it looked like I forgot to add an equips tag to the trolls. Thanks.
