The gas mask is a piece of apparel added by the Biotech DLC.

Acquisition

Gas masks can be crafted at a machining table once the machining research project has been completed. Each requires 20 Steel, 20 Chemfuel and 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter.

Summary

Gas masks increase Toxic Environment Resistance by +80%, causing tox gas, toxic fallout, rot stink, and pollution to be 20% effective. 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. Quality does not affect this resistance.

The gas mask does not count as clothing for pawns with the nudist trait or with pro-nudity ideoligions. Despite this, it does still count as clothing coverage for pawns who prefer not being naked

Analysis

For many purposes, such as against rot stink, a face mask's 50% toxic resistance is sufficient. Face masks also do not cover the head and so can be worn along side simple and flak helmets, unlike a gas mask.

On the other hand, gas masks provide superior protection against toxic buildup and prevent the immediate irritant effects of tox gas on sight, breathing, and pain. That is, a gas mask completely blocks the "Tox gas" hediff, in addition to significantly reducing toxic buildup from the gas.

Unlike Face mask, Gas mask can't be worn with helmets. What seems strange - since, in history, gas masks were often worn under helmets. Meaning, it would be more realistic if Gas Mash had "Skin" layer - but we have what we have.

Version history

Biotech DLC Release - Added.
1.5.4062 - Armor and insulation bug fixed - previously gas masks had armor and insulation values defined as stuff effect multipliers but as the gas mask is not stuffable, this resulted in the gas mask offering no armor or insulation at all.
