I need clothes!

[rtiger]

What sort of skill/material is it to make clothes(parka), cause nobody is working at my tailors bench and I can't order them to either.

I have leather.

You probably need more of it. Check out a bill on a tailor table, click on "config". It says how much do you need. For example pants take 50, and that's one of lowest requirements.

Anyone could craft anything, just not in the best quality.  I believe a parka uses 175 or 200 of a material, so you'll need that much of the same leather.

Yeah, parka is 120... now if I can stop having eclipses and brownouts, maybe my cotton crops won't keep dying.

Batteries, my friend. Lots and lots of batteries!

In my latest game, I have banks of batteries set up so that in a time of need I can disconnect my hydroponics and freezers from the main power grid and run them on emergency battery power for a time. Yay switches!

[rtiger]

Not this simple I fear. It is a bit easier just to have high power gen compared to lots of batteries, which has a very dangerous side effect(Explosion) if things go wrong. Of course, exploiting geo power gets around batteries. As for my freezer? I put a heater in it cause it gets too cold. Artic deploys tend to do that.

The FREEZER is too cold? Say what? What madness is this?

[rtiger]

It means, that at all times, it is cold enough outside that nothing spoils. Right now, it is the start of winter, and I have seen the temperature outside reach -54C. I rather those that go in my freezer not risk frostbite, so I raised the temperature to -5C

I have leather.

Also if you have leather you need that amount of the same leather you cant mix and match leather to make any clothes

[Kaballah]

You can expand the inventory status treeview in top left and see exactly how many of each type of leather you have, once it's stockpiled.  That's probably what it is, winnsanity suggests.
