Can you set outfits somehow?

[Footman Connaisseur]

I want my colonists to wear matching stuff , but everytime i kill raiders and clean up the map they carry all the stuff back and sometimes wear it, is there any way to prevent this? I don't like the item clutter till it vaporizes itself and especially the tainted gear is a pain in the ass

In the assign tab you can define outfit rules your pawns will follow for what clothing\armor they will wear (ie. not tainted\condition\quality\type\etc)

Adding on to what twilight said. Once your at the assign tab there's a manage button that lets you finetune what each outfit allows.

It can be a bit technical and overwhelming so don't be afraid to look up a clothing guide video. I'm sure there's plenty that can better explain what everything does than we can here.

turn off them wearing tainted clothing in the assign tab. bloodlust pawns like to wear tainted clothes for some reason.

thanks for the answers guys, is there also a way to tell the game to only cremate tainted gear?

Set a bill on the crematory to burn all clothing and uncheck clean leaving only tainted checked.

To add to it further: Outfit management is technically useable. That's all I can say for it. I don't bother with it myself, It's just tedious setting it all up. Is one of a couple aspects of the game that desperately needs a proper overhaul. You really shouldn't need guides to figure out how to properly set up outfits, but the reality is the system in place is pretty bare-bones and more complex then it has any need to be.

If you have a bunch of mods that add clothing and materials, it's even more tedious.

when you select a pawn, then right click on an outfit (on the floor) and let them wear it, they will wear it (you see a "forced" entry in the outfit tab) - as long as you don't "clear forced" - till it falls off.

with outfit managment (as the pre-answers suggested no tainted clothes, also the quality filters poor to legendary, 0 to 100% etc) you can pretty much define what to wear

-> and there is a supportive mod that lets you even select the material:

it's not perfect and a bit finicky, but you can manage winterclothes, summerclothes - my pawns wear only devilstrand shadecones during a heatwave and I let them change to sheepwool dusters and stuff, when it's cold.

they even can change worn out clothes by themselfes into newly ones. a bit tricky, but there are a few options with outfit management, you find that in the "assign" tab under "current outfit" - just in case you missed that ;-)

with mods you can go even further and let a proper taylor mend worn outfits:

hope this helps a bit;
no pun intended, ever
