Storing old clothes

[Fusha]

Is there a point in hauling and storing every piece of tattered clothing from raiders, or are they just a waste of space? Is there any way of turning clothes back into textiles?

You cannot turn clothes into textiles. Old clothing from raiders should be kept in a separate room with a beacon so when bulk goods traders and exotic traders come you can sell all that old garbage to them!

Note that there are mods that change this. There is one that allows you to reclaim a portion of textiles in an item based on the durability it has left and the skill of the tailor. Another allows items to be repaired.

Pax post the mod here please for others to see.

The Problem is, there are at least three that I know of ..

I generally just bury victims in their clothes unless I'm desperate for parkas.  Once I research electric cremation I burn them all, except for the ones in good shape that are wearable.   I'm running an interstellar suicide cult, not a thrift shop!

Synthread and Devilstrand clothing are usually worth scavening if the quality and HP is decent. For basic cloth and leather clothes, don't bother unless your colonists need warm/cool clothes or you have an excess of haulers. The time spent dragging the stuff to your base is usually not worth the price you get.

er.. i usually have a freezer/stockpile/trade beacon room (around -9 celsius) to haul all the corpses in.

once the corpses are there, i strip them of clothes and keep the dogs there.
the dogs eat the corpses, while the clothes i don't want/need gets sold to traders.

just haul once, no more need to make/use an incinerator, it keeps my dogs well feed, and i get a few extra silver while getting rid of clutter.
