The '''veil''' is a [[clothing]] item that provides minor protection for the head and a minor increase to [[pain shock threshold]].

== Acquisition == 
Veils can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]], [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]] or [[{{P|Production Facility 3}}]]. They require {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. Unlike most clothing, they ''cannot'' be crafted out of [[leather]].

== Summary == 
In addition to minor head protection, a veil increases the [[pain shock threshold]] of its wearer by {{+|5%}}, allowing its wearer to take more damage before being [[downed]].

If the [[Biotech DLC]] is enabled, veils also increase [[Toxic Environment Resistance]] by {{+|35%}}, reducing the severity gain from [[toxic fallout]], [[rot stink]], and [[pollution]] {{BiotechIcon}}. It does not protect from [[disease]]s, which are not contagious between pawns in RimWorld, nor does it prevent [[toxic buildup]] from attacks such as the [[cobra]]'s bite. The veil's description will also be changed to reflect this change.

When worn by a [[slave]],{{IdeologyIcon}} a veil increases the rate that [[suppression]] is lost by 10% per day. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.

== Analysis ==
Veils don't increase the pain shock threshold as much as [[war mask]]s, and offer less armor when crafted with anything other than [[devilstrand]], [[synthread]], or [[hyperweave]], all of which are costly to obtain.

In terms of early game, fabric-based protection, the veil faces competition with items introduced with the [[Ideology DLC]]:
* The [[broadwrap]]{{IdeologyIcon}} is more protective and more insulative, and costs only {{Icon Small|stuff}} 10 material more. Uniquely, the broadwrap protects the shoulders and neck, in addition to the full face. However, the broadwrap does not help with pain shock or toxic resistance.
* The [[headwrap]]{{IdeologyIcon}} costs the same as a veil, but offers more protection and more insulation. Like the broad wrap, it does not protect against pain shock or toxic resistance. However, with the Biotech DLC, headwraps can be worn with a [[face mask]], which offers superior toxic environment resistance (for only {{Icon Small|stuff}} 10).
Note that both items require a [[hand tailor bench]] or [[electric tailor bench]], while veils are able to be created in a [[crafting spot]].

A hyperweave veil is competitive with a [[steel]] [[simple helmet]] of the same [[quality]]. The veil offers 8/9ths the sharp armor while also covering the entire head and offering significant heat armor. Veils offer some toxic environment resistance in the [[Biotech DLC]], though a [[face mask]] offers more protection and can be worn with a simple helmet. And while hyperweave is generally best saved for dusters, a small leftover stock of hyperweave could be used to make a decently protective veil.

In [[biomes]] where wood isn't easily accessible, veils can be useful early on. But war masks are generally better at providing a quick bit of early game protection for tribal factions, and both are outdated once better materials become available.
