Disable Clothing/Armor Degradation?

[Hyper]

Theirs a mechanic in the game that makes clothing (or armor) degrade either from passive use or taking damage. Is there any way that I can disable the slow but annoying degradation of clothing. I'm planning on starting a rather large colony and would appreciate not having to micro manage every single colonist apparel. I have the rimworld expanded ancients mod and in that mod you get a clothing repair station or whatever it's called that helps repair clothing only requiring a small fee of resources. But this doesn't make it easier as I have to go through each and every colonist's shirts,pants,and accessories once a year if lucky. What I want to know is there a way to disable degradation completely, thanks in advance.

Instead of disabling wear and tear, you can set up your colonist attire to where the default is non-tattered only. Select the clothing set called "anything" (or whichever one you're using, if you prefer they wear a specific set of clothes). Set the lower slider to 51% and leave the upper end on 100%. They'll take off the clothes right when it reaches tattered status, and automatically go looking for something in better condition to wear.

To avoid having a bunch of pawns running around half-nude, set your tailoring recipes as follows; Do until you have X. Set the sliders the same as you did your allowed apparel, 51% - 100%. I usually set the quality as normal on up, so they don't wear poor quality clothes. (usually after I've got the basics established in the colony, since it takes a while before you need your first set of replacement clothes) If you set the X number to 1, your tailor will create a new piece of apparel whenever you don't have any that are not tattered. This way you'll always have one pants, shirt, or whatever in stock. If you have a lot of colonists maybe up the X number to 2 or 3 so your reserve pile is a bit bigger. (1 works just fine for me, but I usually run less than 20 colonists)

If you want to see this in action, feel free to check out my YouTube channel called "RafeTizer". If I remember correctly, setting up the apparel is in my Early Game guide video.
