Behavior very similar to earlier reported and solved bug: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=27933.0

I think this may have to do with modifying the default Anything outfit, which is something I normally don't do but I was lazy this game.

What the circumstances were and what happened:

First time assignment in new colony of non-default outfits.

All but one of my pawns was in the Anything group, this one pawn was in Worker. I modified the Worker outfit to accept 50-100% hp. This change took fine, the pawn didn't strip and kept his > 50% clothes on (notably, all his clothes were >50% at the time)

But when I modified the Anything outfit, I seem to have corrupted something:

1. Manage, edit, and rename 'Anything' outfit to 'Militia', allow only military helmet, tshirt, armor, pants, duster, buttonup. 50-100% hp allowed only.

2. pawns strip at next free time, regardless of clothing conditions (many > 80%) and do not pick up any perfectly suitable clothes where they dropped off their old ones.

3. Change Militia outfit to allow 0-100%, all apparel types and quality, no change.

4. Make new outfit 'blah', which allows any/all apparel , put 'Militia' pawns in this new group, no change - pawns stay naked.

5. Make new outfit "Anything" with all allowed, per default - this fixes the pawns and they return to clothe themselves.

6. Make new outfit "Tier1" and assign as I had the prior 'Militia' outfit with filters I wanted, notably leaving the 'anything' outfit alone - voila, this worked

So it seems like it's a bad idea to modify the Anything group, but I haven't tried to determine how reproducible this is. Maybe this is common knowledge and I've just been lucky these past many months because my habit is to use new outfits only, but i got lazy this time.

I'm just happy that I can recover this colony because the next raid would have surely caused a death spiral.

EDIT: prepare carefully is the only mod i have

No repro here. I think this is a holdover from an old savegame (a known issue).

Will watch for reproducible cases; thanks.
