'''Clothes''' are items made out of [[cloth]] or [[leather]] which are worn by sentient [[creature]]s to protect them from the elements, from damage, and to cover themselves. Articles of clothing work similarly to [[armor]], but are distinguished by the fact that they are ''owned'' by your dwarves, and [[wear|wear out]] over time. Technically, clothing is simply [[armor]] with an armor level of 0. In particular, boots (low or high) are armor, and not clothing. | '''Clothes''' are items made out of [[cloth]] or [[leather]] which are worn by sentient [[creature]]s to protect them from the elements, from damage, and to cover themselves.

In theory, clothing provides less protection against attacks than "real" armor, but some players claim that leather cloaks and hoods offer significant protection from attacks. Also, there have been humorous bugs in the past where animal teeth were not hard enough to bite through silk shirts and artifact glass serrated disks could not pierce [[goblin]] clothes. | In theory, clothing provides less protection against attacks than "real" armor, but some players claim that leather cloaks and hoods offer significant protection from attacks.

− | Currently | + | Currently dwarves need no protection from cold environments, but get bad [[thought]]s if they are naked, or wearing old or tattered clothes. Babies do not wear clothes, but all adult and child dwarves will claim, and wear, clothing automatically. Dwarves may incur several different clothing-related bad thoughts: |

− | + | Clothing thoughts are quite strong, and they stack with each other. [[Tantrum spiral]]s are likely unless you produce shoes (not boots) and upper-body-covering items such as shirts, tunics, dresses, robes, or whatever else the kids are into these days. | |
− | + | Another use for clothes (besides selling them to [[caravan]]s) is keeping your dwarves from stepping barefoot in the [[syndrome|poisonous]] blood left by some [[forgotten beast]]s. | |
− | + | Clothes are stored as [[finished goods]], and may be stored in [[bin]]s. Dwarves will store their personal unworn clothing in their rooms, either directly on the floor, or in [[cabinet]]s. | |
− | + | While in a stockpile (or a dwarf's personal quarters), clothing is usually safe from being damaged, but as soon as a dwarf puts on an item of clothing, it begins to degrade, and will [[wear|wear out]] eventually. Clothing that is owned but which is not worn and not in a dwarf's quarters will eventually revert to unowned status, eligible to be picked up by some desperate, rag-clad (or unclad) boor. Clothing which is in a [[stockpile#Refuse|refuse stockpile]] is supposed to degrade quickly. | |
− | + | Make sure to add some sort of clothing footwear (shoes or socks) as well as a shirt to the equipment list for your soldiers. Otherwise they may become unhappy when they drop their civilian clothing. | |

Long ago, socks were plentiful in dwarven kingdoms across the land, and the bearded ones paid little heed to what adorned their feet. But after the proud citadel of Nogrithog destroyed itself in a terrible civil war over a dispute concerning sock shortages, the production of which they were completely and utterly ignorant, the entire dwarf race everywhere in the universe vowed to never let this happen again. Dwarves made sure to stockpile woolen, silken, and even cloth footwear against the unthinkable happening ever again. Children were frightened with the story of the Great Sock War even before they stopped suckling at their mothers' breasts, to indoctrinate them in proper sock hoarding behavior, and to frighten unruly children into better behavior: "If you don't stop pulling Catten's braids, Sibrek, all the socks will disappear!" So great is the dwarf's fear of a sock shortage that they will sacrifice their own well-being and even lives to make sure that even one single sock will not be overlooked. It is unknown how such an utterly primitive race such as dwarves could possibly know how one dwarven civilization in a remote and utterly important continent on a forgotten minor world destroyed itself on every other world that dwarves live. Most believe that this is once more the touch of Armok on their sodden and constantly intoxicated brains. |
