Strip (and sell) dead man's clothes?

[The Man with No Name]

I know colonists don't like wearing dead man's clothes, but is it worth stripping clothes off corpses and selling them to traders, particularly early in the game when money is tight? What sort of trade value do they have? Will traders even buy them?

[Greep]

They'll buy at 1/10 price, it's factored into market value (I think) so they'll buy them at around what you see.  Unlike item_sell_multipler for weapons which is applied later.

As for worth it, not on an abundant map generally.  Unless they've got a personal shield.  Dead men's power armor helmet are also usually worth wearing, too.

[The Man with No Name]

Thanks. I'll probably leave it then, unless they have something particularly nice.

The time hauling the stuff could probably be better spent anyway by making another really awful sculpture about colonist Grill and his bond with his timber wolf - part of a series.

Alternative you could try a mod with reclaim fabric ability.
And recycle all dead man appearals to get some raw resources you can craft new own ones.

A proper setting up of the base would give you max revenue from the min effort. I use to have the crematorium next to an orbital beacon storage. Corpses get stripped before getting burned and their clothes dropped on the ground. Proper bill to burn low income clothes is useful alas the waste of space is not worth the income won you'll sell thos tattered toques

i prefer to burn corpses with molotov at a fire proof room (less pawn work)

On a pure vanila gameplay a good choise.
But with mods there are better things you can do with corpse.

I'd say it is probably worth doing early game but not late-mid or late game. The small monetary boost that selling the clothes gives you can help if you run short on small things to keep a new colony alive.
