Assign Racks and List Racked Equipment

    If racks could hold clothes, I think this could help streamline the problem of equipping everyone with parkas without implementing the AI-intensive solution of auto-dressing. You assign as many racks to a colonist as you need to hold everything you want them to be able to equip. Everything in their assigned racks shows up under a new category called "Racked"min the "Gear" screen. When you right click things under the "Racked" category, three options come up: "Equip," "Information," and "Stockpile."

     The first causes them to go to the rack containing the item and equip it, replacing and racking what they already have if it's a weapon, for example, the second does what it already does, and the third takes it off the rack and puts it in a stockpile. All equipped items get a "Rack" option, which prompts the colonist to place the item in an empty space on their racks. If there are no empty spaces, the action is cancelled and the player is informed of the lack of space.

     This could help lessen the somewhat tedious process of tracking down an available parka for each colonist and the equally tedious process of putting them all back when you don't need them anymore. Plus, should you need the colonists to change up their loadout to better suit a certain combat situation, you need only go to the gear screen and pick out what you want them to use!
