In the Loadouts window, there's a little gear that says "Top-level settings." When clicked, it opens a vanilla-style apparel-selection interface, identical to what you get if you select a pawn and attempt to change its vanilla "outfit" directly.


At the top, it says: "Be advised: Settings here take precedence over those of apparels in Loadout window."

What on earth is this for? I've tried to use it to prevent a pawn wearing an item from a different outfit, but I can't seem to make it work.

An example: I have a pawn carrying a Recon Helmet, that is configured to don that helmet when I instruct them to use their "Armor" costume. Their main/everyday costume *does not* have a helmet.

If I unselect "Recon Helmet" in this 'top-level settings' window, then the pawn stops carrying around his helmet - even though he's configured to carry 1 Recon Helment around in the loadout ... but if I *don't* unselect "Recon Helmet" in the 'top-level settings', then he wears it all the time, refusing to take it off when he's not in his "armor" costume. How am I supposed to configure the top-level settings for a loadout??
