The club is a neolithic melee weapon that does a moderate amount of blunt damage and has a moderate-long cooldown. As a blunt weapon, it doesn't cause bleeding (unless a body part gets destroyed), and generally do more damage against armor when compared to sharp weapons.

Acquisition[edit]

Clubs can be crafted at a crafting spot, fueled smithy, or electric smithy, each requiring 40 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 400 for SMVs) and 1,200 ticks (20 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 from any combat supplier or war merchant, or obtained from melee raiders drops.

Analysis[edit]

Clubs are generated without a quality level - in essence, all clubs are "normal." This makes them worth considering if you have no competent crafters yet. With underwhelming damage output, clubs only make sense as melee options in the early game; once you have craftsmen capable of reliably producing better than normal quality weapons, there is little reason to ever build a club again.

Although uranium clubs are effective weapons for use against armored foes, maces are clearly superior weapons, especially when high quality, for only 10 more material.

Styles[edit]

-The club is a neolithic weapon in RimWorld that can be crafted out of any material and at a crafting spot. Commonly used by tribes, but can also be seen on bog standard pirates and outlanders too, the club deals blunt damage meaning it's generally slightly more effective when put up against armoured foes. It does the same damage per hit as its more modern descendant - the [[Mace]], but has a slightly longer cooldown time.
+They can also be purchased from any combat supplier or war merchant, or obtained from melee [[raider]]s drops.

-As a neolithic weapon, Clubs can be made out of any appropriate crafting material in the game. All five rock types are equally effective in terms of raw damage output, with the only differences being durability. The table below displays figures of raw damage, cooldown and DPS of all materials this weapon can be made out of. These figures assume Normal quality and full durability...

-DPS figures that are '''bold''' are those that are viable as they are greater than the base unarmed DPS (3.279), meaning those that aren't bold should generally be avoided as weapons.

-It is arguable that a Jade Club could beat out a Plasteel Mace, but that is highly situational dependent on the type of enemy and the level of armour they have. This table goes more in depth about it (figures assume Normal quality)...

-As the figures in the table show, a Jade Club trades blows when it comes to overall damage output - Plasteel Mace has a miniscule advantage, but this will diminish against more protected enemies and the Jade Club will most likely take the lead as armour levels increase. The Silver Mace was thrown in the mix too because of Silver's slight advantage in damage per hit with blunt weapons. Silver is clearly outmatched by the other two weapons though by quite a margin.
