Solstice Initiative 16 May, 2020 @ 5:34pm 
You forgot the Moosehide Satchel and Astrid's set.

Very interesting, it doesn't look like it will update with astrid's clothes or rabbit's cap for example, but it is still very useful. Thank you.
SPOOKY_ 22 Sep, 2016 @ 2:16pm 
Wow, whole year since i commented here,exactly, time flies fast, so could you put the animal clothes?
The Biggest Boy 11 Apr, 2016 @ 5:43pm 
wolf skin and deer stuff?
ron_wiggins 13 Mar, 2016 @ 8:40am 
thanks, Starting out I did not understand the repair mechanism. I thought what you see is what you get. Died alot with that mistake. Once I knew to repair and harvest drapes clothing is simple.

I have rabbitskin mitts wolfskin coat and deerskin boots and pants! Fuk da enviroment. (By the way if you want all animal clothing when you sleep you should take the animal skin clothing off so it helps keep it in good shape.)
