Can they even change clothes

[Kleppo]

Ugh, started playing in the desert world. And so frustrating, cant they even change clothes? Or do I have to do that twice every day, with them complaining with chilly or sweating. Talk about micromanaging...

make synthetic armor or carbon armor as soon as possible, in the meantime ignore their complaints, just keep an eye for heatstroke or hypothermia

They will change their clothes if they are available.

And if the AI is not sheer stupid and you have to "instruct" someone to put on clothes.

I think they can only change clothes if 1) clothes are close to "zeroing" out, or 2) they are "naked" status (i.e., their clothes have zeroed out).

I did witness a colonist run to a wardrobe that I had clothes in and she auto changed.

I also did have synthetic shirts that I found in a wreck and one girl auto changed after awhile.

The AI characters do change clothing depending on their schedule, you can even lock the clothing pieces if you don't want it to happen.

As long as there's no lethal hypothermia or heatstroke, you should not worry about it...

By schedule, you can have "anything" as a full 24-hour set routine, a full wardrobe full of summer and winter clothing, and the doofuses can still get severe hypothermia. Ahh, wonderful cold snaps.

perhaps the issue is the anything schedule and a huge queue of unfinished tasks

Or. . .the issue could be that a desert doesn't work that way temp wise. summer = 100 to 140 during the day and down to about 60 to 70 at night, seemed like that all year round with varying degrees with in those ranges, at least in iraq. And no, wearing long sleeves and heavy thick body armor while working didn't guarantee heat stroke . . . and though it felt cold at night, it wasn't. . .and we didn't run any risk of hypothermia. But, I imagine the devs have never seen or been in a real desert.

cause all deserts are the same right??

No, they're not, but it looks like a hot sandy desert, not a tundra. I'll guess you've never been to either.

Yes they will strip cloths off if they get to warm and if there summer out fit they put it on. i also set thermo stat on 57. that helps with shelf decay slow down till winter.

Would be nice if lock worked.. also if you could set a temp for them to change at, if clothing is available.

I don't need to, there is this fantastic thing called the internet and it has all the collective knowledge of humanity, it works so well that you even agreed to my statement

[Martin]

I've been to the beach.. there's sand there and sometimes it snows outside.. that's my tundra ;)

I had the opposite problem in a heatwave, I kept taking off all their clothes so they didn't overheat but they kept putting them back on!
