I get why we have the clothes the colonists wear degrade over time, but it's adding a lot of tedious busy work to the game. In games like OpenTTD I can set it that vehicles will go in for repair if their reliability falls below a certain point. What I would like is if the clothing were to degrade below a certain percentage the colonist will take it from the stockpile or storage is a better piecing of the same type of clothing is available. Or at least make it so I can say stockpiles and storage racks will not accept clothes that are below a certain percentage you can decide. I find it really annoying to have to look through each colonist to see if they're pants are about to fall apart and then have to look through all the salvaged pants I took from the bodies of the last raiders to see which ones are still more or less okay.

I'd also like it if we can tell the colonists that if its a certain time of the year they should put on warm clothing if available. I know there is a mod that does this, but its not clear to me how it works like do they wait for a cetain temperture or for winter to start. I really hope to see this address in Alpha 10.

Aisde, I also would like a sort of dresser to switch into combat clothe with one direct order.

Thank god. I eagerly await Alpha 10 then

I'd also like to see something like that with the combat. Seeing this game seems to be trying to be a user-friendly sci-fi version of Dwarf Fortress I wouldn't be surprised if they did that. Hopefully they will be in the next update too.
