Tailoring; Do they ever repair clothing or do you just destroy it?

[Treveri]

Like the topic says ... I tell survivor X to get a new shirt cuz the one he's wear is down to almost nothing ... and he puts it in the wardrobe ... will my tailors ever repair that shirt or do I just right click it for destruction?

And another thing I thought they were supposed to change automagically if their clothing breaks ... but my guys will run around naked forever until I tell them to put on the gear in the cabinet! What did I misunderstand there?

They wont get repaired. Select them for dismantle.
On the topic of them changing clothes on their own, i reckon their tolerance level ( in the equipment screen ) determines if they grab new clothes perhaps.
I am not sure about that though as i usually try to manually make them change clothes when i see them worn down.

When you're telling them to remove clothing, just tell them to put on something else. If they're wearing it until it falls off, they will usually replace it themselves, but it won't be at the top of their list of things to do. They might think about it after cycling through their work queue. I've never seen them put on a new hat without being told though. Maybe they don't bother unless it causes a mood or temperature problem?

Anyway, you can let them wear that shirt until it falls off if you want to. They might complain about old clothes, but it doesn't actually give them a mood debuff to wear it out. Just depends on if you want those few scraps of cloth back or not. Might want to make sure they're dressed before a raid though.

The complaint about old/dirty clothes causes a -5 mood debuff in the character who heard the complaint. Similarly, the X felt sorry about Y's old/dirty clothes causes a -5 mood debuff in character Y who has the old/dirty clothes. Both debuff's are the 'was irritated by' type

I never noticed that. An advantage of playing with solo survivors I guess.
