Downloaded 0.C 2992, fresh start, survivor, evacuee, with “more survival tools” mod.

0.C b95bcaa  
curses  
debian linux x64

First I made a wooden needle (with fabrication level 2), and then I collected some rags to make a balaclava.

But when I tried to put the balaclava on, the message said: “You can’t wear a helmet!”, while at the same time, I got no problem wearing a knit hat found in the underground basement, just the balaclava.

I don’t know if other helmets got the same issue.

Is this a bug?

Oops, looks like my fix broke something else. Checking it out now. In the meantime, you should be able to wear anything that isn’t (fit)-ted.
