Food / clothing question

[Davetiger]

Ok what does it take to actually not have a full time clothing person and a fulltime cook, no matter what I do they can't do anything else just trying to keep up with food/clothing/weapons for my people, by the time they create a shirt, it's gone, they finish a bow someone used up theirs do I have to have 2 or 3 tailoring dedicated people? I am having a hard time keeping up with fuel usage and food.

EDIT: And then my cook gets sick of cooking so have to find something else for him to do while giving someone else the job..

Vivien! She tialors at 4x speed and also likes to cook (interested). For me, she can fill both roles if she has a backup cook while she's tailoring (unless you have around 10-12 survivors, then turn it over to another cook while she tailors clothing).

[Davetiger]

wait 10-12? I thought 8 was max LOL that changes everything :)

on my current play through I do no not have Vivien. I have Ken and Nova full time tailoring just to keep up with clothing decay. Occasionally I have them break off to turn some manure into fuel. Either the time it takes to craft has to be decreased or the rate at which clothing and electronics decay has to be adjusted.

I was thinking it would be nice if you could "repair" weapons and clothing and it take half the time / materials would be a pretty fair way to go

I start with 4 pairs of every thing at start of winter and at end off fall they get there new stuff. Sure they wine about the grub rags but takes to long to make them and they even start to decay before they put them on and wear out fast.

I only dismantle clothes/weapons/armor when they hit the red line. But yes, it would be great if we could repair them.. considering I have a sh*t ton of useless leather lying around.

I have not played a game long enough to get many of the upgraded clothing items but I am hoping at least the carbon armor has a really good lifespan. Otherwise, they really need to adjust something. I mean...i'm not stranded on an alien planet but my shoes last me like 10 years.
