Slave collars are a form of clothing added by the Ideology DLC. It covers the neck and provides additional slave suppression.

Acquisition

Slave collars can only be made at electric or hand tailor benches which require Complex Clothing to be researched in order to be constructed. Each collar requires 25 Stuff (Metallic/Leathery, 250 for SMVs) and 1,800 ticks (30 secs) of work.

Summary

Increases the suppression offset of the wearer by 0.15, equivalent to, and stacking with, the slave body strap.

Pawns with the Masochist trait get a +2 mood boost from wearing this item.

Notably, the slave collar occupies the Headgear layer but only the neck body part. As covering the neck is relatively rare for headgear items, this means that the slave collar can be worn in addition to almost all other items. Currently, it only conflicts with the Broadwrap.

Analysis

As it offers no protection or insulation and doesn't take the place of any other item with the sole exception of the broadwrap, which itself has many viable alternatives, there is no reason not to outfit all slaves and all masochists with this item besides the initial small cost of 25 stuff.

Meanwhile, the constant slave suppression it provides is highly useful, making it a keystone in most slaver colonies. The masochist mood boost of +2 is admittedly minor, but it lasts until the collar itself deteriorates and costs practically nothing, making it a very cost effective choice.

If the Slave Collar is made from Human leather, colonists that wear it will get the corresponding mood effects. This can be a cheap way to give a small +1 to +2 mood buff to pawns with the Bloodlust or Cannibal traits or with a cannibal Ideoligion.

For all other pawns, the collar is essentially useless. It offers no protection, even when made of materials that logically should such as steel, nor any insulation. It doesn't weigh much nor does it harm the user in anyway but there is simply no reason to equip it.
