Robes are a form of clothing added by the Ideology DLC. For the solemn look.

Acquisition

Robes can only be made at electric or hand tailor benches which require Complex Clothing to be researched in order to be constructed. Each robe requires Stuff 80 Stuff (Fabric/Leathery) and 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work.

They can also be purchased from traders.

Analysis

Like the duster, the robe is an outer layer garment covers all but the head and extremities, and is compatible with the flak vest. This places it in direct competition with the duster, cape,Content added by the Royalty DLC jacket, parka, and burka.

The primary determining factor is insulation - in hot environments, the robe is almost entirely inferior to the duster. Offering worse insulation and armor, with the same material cost and coverage. Its only advantage is a faster crafting recipe, but that is almost negligble. The duster, or the largely equivalent cape, should always be prefered in such environments.

In cold climates, there is more interplay. The parka, with over double the insulation, still remains vital in ultra-low temperatures but once it is warm enough to no longer necessary, the better coverage of the robe does provide an advantage. This "cold but not enough to require a parka" niche is a similar to the jacket, which instead offers the same coverage as the parka and the same insulation as the robe but offers superior armor to both. That said, the relatively low armor rating of robe and the jackets preferential coverage of the important body parts means that the robe covering the legs is not sufficient to make up for the armor loss in most circumstances. This niche is futher restricted by the fact that the duster, which has the advantanges of both the jacket and robe, offers 75% of their insulation of the robe, meaning that the niche they occupy is only the temperature range where the duster is insufficient but they are not - a difference of, at most, 12.24 °C (54 °F).

Although it provides less protection than a duster, it does not have any negative association to slave suppression offset.

The most ideal use of the Robe seems to be as a part of an extreme biome prisoner outfit, as an insulating garment, with equal coverage to the duster (but is also less insulating).
