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 Crafting spot, Hand tailor bench or Electric tailor bench. They require Stuff 20 Stuff (Fabric) and 1,400 ticks (23.33 secs) 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 Content added by the Biotech DLC. It does not protect from diseases, 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,Content added by the Ideology DLC 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 masks, 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 broadwrapContent added by the Ideology DLC is more protective and more insulative, and costs only 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 headwrapContent added by the Ideology DLC 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 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.
