What the title asks, I hate how clothes rot over time, and normally clothes last for YEARS, while in DF, they seem to last for only a month...

Any way to remove the clothing rot?

[dennislp3]

to be fair the wear is accurate...wearing the same articles of clothing while doing lots of manual labor every day would only take a short amount of times before more clothes are needed....as for removing rot...no clue...you could always remove the [clothing] tag from a civ to not have any clothes when they spawn

Rot is hard coded. No fix.

To me the issue is that you can't replace the clothing.

I have tons of clothes for my dwarves, high quality even. Do they wear them? No.

They shuffle around in rags....

Clothing needs:
1.) Proper storage in cabinets.
2.) Actually having dwarves change into and out of them.

They don't seem to wear that fast. It's my 8th year in the current fort, and the worst pieces of clothing, the ones used by my starting seven, are at XX level, which means that they'll be completely destroyed in a short time but are still in one piece. No naked dwarves, yet. It seems fair to me. I agree that the use of new clothes requires a fix, but IMHO the wear is good enough as it is.

Toady switched off clothing-change. He will fix it later. To me it seems fine. Thx Toady DF isn't 3D game))

Actually it is, with a full DirectX support.

if you want clothes you can draft everyone into military as uniformed while off duty (make a clothes uniform)...then when the clothes rot they should replace em...

Wait what? Really? I'm going to have to try that. It's too bad I really don't fully understand the military system.

[Lord Vetinari]

It won't work for miners and woodcutters.

Once you get the hang of it its really easy

And yeah....leave the woodcutters and miners alone...

Switch out the [SOFT] tags in clothing to [HARD] tags, so I'm told.

Actually, as long as you set them to wear their uniform while off duty and don't specify any weapon at all with the "civilian" uniform (clothes) I would expect woodcutters and miners to still use their tools as they should. 

... just don't activate them and expect them to pick up a weapon (or is it "pick up their tools after being activated" ?  ).

[dennislp3]

if i remember correctly the bug is that they will never pick up civilian tools again if activated

I don't think that bug exists anymore. My milita commander dug out most of my fortress after she was inducted into the military. In fact, I remember having my militia commanders being my first miners since .31.10.

Switch out the [SOFT] tags in clothing to [HARD] tags, so I'm told.

Any confirmation on this?
