Hey friends,
Just wanted to let you know I won't be putting out an update today as I'm still working on the new uniforms feature. It's actually very close to being complete but, as you'd expect with something with so many complexities, there are a lot of edge cases and UI feedback tasks for me to tackle first.
Here's a breakdown of the feature:
The Uniforms window is a brand new overlay where you'll be able to create gear loadouts for professions, control groups, and individual settlers.

Settlers that fulfill the requirements of a uniform will automatically equip the items that are a part of the uniform's gear set. For example, you can create a gear set for your Miners which has them automatically equipping pickaxes. As well, within these uniforms, there is a priority level which you can edit. So, you could have two uniforms for your Miners, one with Bronze Pickaxes and one with Iron Pickaxes. The Iron Pickaxe uniform can be setup with a higher priority so your settlers will try to equip items for this first and then fallback to Bronze Pickaxes if no Iron ones exist.
Keep in mind that you'll still have the ability to setup individual uniforms like before. Individual uniforms are of a higher priority than profession and control group uniforms, so your settler, in this case let's say, Jeffrey, will first try to equip the Blade of Brian before falling back to a uniform that's set up for their profession or control group.
I'm going to try to push this new update to the BETA branch once I finish off the remaining items on my task list, sometime early next week. Then I'll push to the PROD branch on Friday.
Anywho, sorry for the delay. Hope you have an excellent weekend.
