Arming the populace with created weapons

[Chaosphere]

Am I missing something? It seems no matter how many slings or other upgraded hunting tools I make, my people will continue holding onto inferior options. Or, when tasked to hunt an animal, wont bother to go pick up a better hunting implement if it's available (a sling, over a wooden spear for example), before going on the hunt. I find half of my slings / bows / etc, end up sitting in storage.

Is there a way to force everyone to arm themselves with whatever hunting tools are available?

They should equip the best tool possible but also check their stats as some are the same. Bone = Flint = copper ; bronze = iron.

They won't upgrade their weapons until they ran out of the obsolete version because it decayed.

Quickest way to upgrade the weapons of your people, is to sell the obsolete versions to a trader and by making sure you won't create the old ones.
That way you leave your people no choice but to use the new and improved model.

Ringing the bell for battle stance will force villagers to return to settlement and equip latest weaponry! Do this every so often when you craft new weapons. :)

After this start selling old one and don't forget to turn OFF autoproduction for old stuff!

Nice to know, thanks Vrtni.

Your people will also switch tools if they need one for a different task.
So if they have no sickle and get a harvest task, they will go and grab the best sickle they can find.
Just sell your old tools to the trader and they will slowly be phased out. You don't really need to create 100+ new items at once when you unlock a new metal. You may kill your settlement with that as everyone would be too busy to bake bread.

Build some totems and monuments. Religion is opium.
Also, there is beer.

I bet there will be mods with psychedelic plants. Archeology shows weed, mushrooms and ayahuasca were consumed in the stone age.

Haha Draken! I build skullpoles from the start, and now I have totems and all megaliths. Not gotten to beer age yet. I know Hemp-marijuana has been around since the beginning and would be easy to grow and can also be used for food. The recreational stuff is different then hemp. Be nice to have both options. BEER! that's a good thing too. Peyote!

Jokes aside. The spiritual buildings and the beer IS important in keeping your peoples moral up.
