[Gameplay] Linking Outfit-system with a Storage-structure

[Kegereneku]

Abstract :
We have multiple sort of clothes with different stats for all seasons, temperatures and some combat-oriented clothes.
Colonist will opportunistically try to match various "outfit profile" from clothes lying on the floor, and abandon the previous outfit nearby.

Problematic :
IN SHORT : We can't easily change outfit for combat, events or store clothes.
- Storing a few clothes take a lot of space.
- Auto-change take some time, the colonist must check often and run all around.
- Auto-change is too slow to respond against immediate event.
- But manual-change is a click-festival.
- Keeping combat-clothes can have penalty.
- And setting a stockpile in colonist room require to manually filter it like the outfit profile.

I've read this...

But anyway, I have ideas on how to handle clothing AI but they'll have to be independent of any object (e.g. wardrobe).

Suggestion :
I'm still going to say "Wardrobe".
Because this one should (hopefully) blend with the "outfit-system".

It's a "stockpile", filled with an outfit-profile, that stack.

How it would work :
- You defined an outfit-profiles.
- You select outfit-profile for the Wardrobe.
/!\ Hauling-job are automatically created to fill it with clothes that match outfit-profile.
- If a colonist check for clothes, the wardrobe come first.
- When you change a colonist outfit-profile, he will check the wardrobe(s) right away.

What the point ?
- a colonist will find everything at a single place & change everything at once.
- if you change profile setting, all wardrobe update, colonist check.
The wardrobe would contain 2 outfits-profiles.
- to automatically store previous outfit in if it match said profile.
- more clothes per case.

detail to solve :
- deconstructing/emptying a Wardrobe is like stripping body.
- the wardrobe will need update as new clothes are available.
- Wardrobe's content might not be able to appear for selling.

Opinions ? Did I missed a critical details ? Failed to cover a problem ?
