Simple Helmets are one of the five main types protective headgear in the base game (the others being the [[war mask]], [[flak helmet]], [[recon helmet]], [[marine helmet]]), eight if including the [[Royalty (DLC)| Royalty DLC]] (which also adds [[cataphract helmet]] and prestige variants of the [[power armor]] helmets).

Simple helmets are a relatively cheap way to protect the head, a vital part of any pawn. They don't provide much insultation - if temperature is an issue, you may want to wear hats like a [[cowboy hat]] or [[tuque]] instead. In the early game, or when dealing with large numbers of pawns, the simple helmet provides a decent amount of protection for a small amount of resources.
  
They are significant improvement over the [[war mask]] in terms of protection - while they don't cover the entire head, many weapons have sufficient AP to nullify the protection of all but the highest [[quality]] war masks. Compared to [[veil]]s, only the rare and expensive [[hyperweave]] veils are comparable to even basic steel simple helmets in sharp protection (and significantly better in heat protect) - like the masks however, they do protect the entire head as well as providing a higher [[Pain Shock Threshold]]. Thus, there may be a niche if spare hyperweave is available or an already crafted example is acquired. Otherwise the simple helmet provides significantly better protection than non-hyperweave veils.

Protection offered by a simple helmet depends on its [[quality]] and [[material]]. It has a material effect multiplier of 50% for all types of damage.  
  
Flak, recon, marine and cataphract {{royaltyIcon}} helmets all provide superior protection, while the power armor helmets also cover the entire head. However, they are also significantly more expensive, requiring [[plasteel]] and either [[component]]s or, even more expensive, [[advanced component]]s. Switching to the more protective helmets, especially the full head ones, should generally be done in the late game. However in the early game or when dealing with large numbers of pawns when resources are tight, the simple helmet provides a decent amount of protection for a small amount of resources.

The simple helmet is the first available headgear that can be crafted from metal.

Acquisition[edit]

Simple helmets can be crafted at a fueled smithy or electric smithy once the Smithing research project has been completed. Each requires Stuff 40 Stuff (Metallic, 400 for SVMs) and 3,200 ticks (53.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material.

They can also be purchased via trading or looted from Outlander and Pirate raiders.

Analysis[edit]

Simple helmets are a relatively cheap way to protect the head, a vital part of any pawn. They don't provide much insultation - if temperature is an issue, you may want to wear hats like a cowboy hat or tuque instead. In the early game, or when dealing with large numbers of pawns, the simple helmet provides a decent amount of protection for a small amount of resources.

Protection offered by a simple helmet depends on its quality and material. It has a material effect multiplier of 50% for all types of damage.

Comparisons[edit]

  • A steel simple helmet can beat all but the highest quality war masks, and is on par with an expensive hyperweave veil, beating all other materials.
  • A steel flak helmet beats even a plasteel simple helmet. However, flak helmets require components (often in high demand) and plasteel (which may be hard to get early on).

Simple helmets are fairly heavy with a mass of 2kg - tied for the heaviest headpiece with the cataphract helmet Content added by the Royalty DLC. However, this is unlikely to be relevant in most circumstances.

  • Styles[edit]

    Ideoligions allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.

    Version history[edit]

    • Alpha 17 - Renamed from Military helmet to Simple helmet. Received a slight buff to protection and no longer requires components.
    • Beta 19 - it became cheaper, and materials now affect armor rating. It now also protects against heat.
    • Ideology DLC Release - Received styles via new Ideoligion style system.
