Clothing
|
Clothes are wearing gear that provide cover of nudity for those who feel shame, as well as protection from weather and climate. Tribalwear can be crafted at a crafting spot and every other piece at the tailor's workbench. These items can be assigned and managed on the Outfits screen from the Assign screen which provides a way to exclude colonists from wearing damaged apparel that causes mood debuffs. Armor, is another kind of item that offers protection from harm. Clothing can be sold to traders at 70% market price.
If you don't have enough warm clothing for every colonist, an alert letter will show up "Need warm clothes". Non-nudists that don't have sufficient coverage will result in an alert letter saying "Unhappy Nudity". Items left exposed with no roof will slowly deteriorate until it disintegrates without a trace. Once a piece reaches zero percent, it will wear away to nothing.
Damaged apparel
Clothing when worn suffers wear and tear and loses hit points over time. Apparel becomes damaged when the wearer is injured from violence, and takes the damage it absorbs as armor.
A colonist wearing badly damaged apparel will have one of the following thoughts. These debuffs do not stack, only one is given based on the apparel with the worst condition.
HP | Thought | Debuff |
---|---|---|
20% - 50% | "Wearing worn-out apparel" | -3 |
below 20% | "Wearing tattered apparel" | -5 |
Nudity
Colonists whose legs are not covered by clothing will be considered naked and will receive the appropriate mood penalties. Colonists not happy about nudity will cause an alert to trigger prompting the player to seek suitable clothing.
Dead man's apparel
Clothing stripped from corpses is considered dead man's apparel and is noted with a D. Dead man's apparel status applies a 10% multiplier to its market value, greatly reducing its sell cost.
Colonists wearing dead man's apparel gain a persistent mood debuff as long as they're wearing it.
Clothing Values
Clothing can provide all kinds of armor. While not nearly as effective as proper armor in this regarding, clothing can offer a modicum of protection for all body parts, without affecting movement or workspeed and often while adding to armor worn above/below. However some of them can work like a light form of armor, including providing armor associated penalties.
They can also provide Heat Resistance and Cold Resistance.
The material and Qualtiy also affect the values. Quality has more effect on Armor values then on Thermal Resistance.
The formula of every value before Item Hitpoints is (ItemValue + Material Offset) * Material Multiplier * Quality Multiplier. Picking the right base item with the Right Multiplier is often more important then any offsets.
A number of Items have Positive Social Impact. These are irrespective of Material and Quality.
Material
If clothes make the man, materials make the clothes. Picking the right material for any piece of clothing is far from Arbitrary and the default setting will just have all materials checked. The algorythm by wich the crafter picks the material to use is unkown.
Cloth
Cloth is the most "boring" Material of all. It has no offsets or multipleirs of any kind. That makes it suiteable as a baseline to compare everything else against. It also can be easily farmed.
Leathers
Leathers offer pretty good and easy to aquire. On armor values they are mostly interchangeable. In Thermal resistance however they are highly variable, going from x0.5 to x2.0 with no apparent rhyme or reason.
Wools
Wool can only be aquired from Domestic Animals, and has high Thermal Multpliers. That can make them both the best and the worst clothing for Thermal Resistance.
Advanced Fabrics
Sporting both Offsets and decent Multipleirs, these are often the best material to make protective nont-quite Armor from. It's Thermal resistances however are on par with Cloth.
Protection
Sharp and Blunt Armor
Most Items have identical Armor values for Sharp and Blunt protection and most materials have the same offsets and multipliers against both. See [Armor] on picking the right amounts.
However there are a few Exceptions Like Dusters and Parkas, wich work more like Armor and thus provide better Sharp Protection. In the same way, advanced Fabrics tend to offer more protection by adding a offset and high Multiplier.
Heat Armor
Not to be mistaken for Heat Resistance, this provides protection against fire Damage, including natural fires and fire based weapons.
Materials that have high Heat Resistence also tend to have high Fire ones, but the best ones are actually leathers.
Electric Armor
Electric Armor is no longer in use by the game. Electrical attacks now Stun applicatable targerts (like Mechanoids), rather then dealing Physical damage.
Cold Resistance
Practically all clothing has some level of Cold Resistance. A deeply negative value is often the goal. Even Normal quality Cloth Jacket, Pants and Button-Down Shirt easily provide -22°C Cold Resistance, often being enough for most biomes with plantgrowth if added to a pawns base value. And all that without interfering with movement speed or armor. But Wool can be used as material and easily tripple that value to -66°C.
Only for really extreme cases, specialized clothing like a Duster or even Parka might be nessesary. And a wool Parka can easily offer -120°C on it's own, but at a cost to Workspeed, Movement Speed and -9°C Heat Resistance (see there).
Heat Resistance
Not overheating is a lot more tricky then staying Warm, as there is often a lot more heat sources then cold ones. Generally a high positive value is preferable with a low positive being a big issue even with normal indoor temperatures.
Clothing here can swing into any of 3 directions:
- Neutral. This clothing provides no positive or negative heat resistance. The material multipliers are irrelevant at least for this Metric. This is very common.
- Keeps Cool/Positive Heat Resistance (+X °C). These clothing keep cool/increase the upper thermal treshold. Mostly these are associated with the more "Western" attire, but some odd cases like Helmets provide it too. Cowboy Hat and Duster provide +22 °C. If you have such a Item, you want to maximize the value using a high Material Multiplier using Wool, in particular Alpalca or Camel wool.
- negative heat resistance(-X°C). This one makes a character more prone to overheating and should always be considered a negatvie value to be avoided. Items with exceptional Cold Resistance tend to have this too, so for this case the material becomes a tricky question: If you want to maximise Cold Protection, that usually involves also ending up with a high Heat Multiplier.

Clothing Layers
Each item of apparel or utility gear is worn on a specific location of the wearer's body. That location is determined by two things:
- The body part groups it covers.
- The layer or layers it occupies.
Apparel combinations are limited by layer and coverage - an item cannot be worn with another item that covers the same body parts and on the same layer. Thus, items covering the same parts but on different layers are compatible, as are items on the same layer but with no overlap in coverage. Items that cover multiple layers conflict with items on all layers.
Layers are also used to determine the order in which armor calculations are performed, with the outermost layer's armor applying first, and progressing through the layers until the attack is stopped or there are no more layers.
The layers, from innermost to outermost, are:
- Skin: The closest layer to the body, and mostly used for apparel below the head.
- Middle: The second closest layer to the body, and mostly used for apparel below the head.
- Outer: The third layer from the body, and mostly used for apparel below the head. Note that it will be displayed on the pawn's sprite above all other layers, even though it is considered below the following layers for actual mechanical effects.
- Belt: Technically the fourth layer. A distinct layer for utility items to allow them to be worn alongside any other apparel but not with each other.
- Headgear: The fifth layer, and used for headwear. There are several items that cover body parts typically covered by the other layers however, in which case this will be above them.
- Eyes: The outermost layer. A distinct layer only used for the blindfold to allow it to be worn alongside headwear.
Which body parts currently have items that occupy each of the layers is shown in the table on the below; layers and body parts which are not currently used by gear were omitted. As such, the hands and feet which are not covered by any apparel or any layer, are omitted.
Examples
- You can't wear pants as well as tribalwear, since both cover the "skin" layer and cover the legs.
- You can wear pants and a button-down shirt, since while they both use the "skin" layer they don't cover the same parts.
- You can wear pants and a duster, since while they both cover the legs pants use the "skin" layer while a duster uses the "outer" layer.
On Skin Layer
Pants
<ul><li>The symbol "[[" was used in a place where it is not useful.</li> <!--br--><li>The part "]]" of the query was not understood.Results might not be as expected.</li></ul>Boring old pants. Not visible on humans.
T-shirt
<ul><li>The symbol "[[" was used in a place where it is not useful.</li> <!--br--><li>The part "]]" of the query was not understood.Results might not be as expected.</li></ul>Most colonists start with this or the button-down shirt.
Button-down shirt
A nicer and slightly better formal shirt.
On Skin and Middle Layers
Tribalwear
Resource-cheap and practical. The neolithic raiders are usually dressed in these. Offers more warmth than a button-down shirt and pants combined despite using a third of the materials, but it leaves the shoulders and arms vulnerable and can't be worn with armor.
Shell Layer
Duster
<ul><li>The symbol "[[" was used in a place where it is not useful.</li> <!--br--><li>The part "]]" of the query was not understood.Results might not be as expected.</li></ul>The stylish and tough duster, with a small but notable amount of heat protection. Currently one of three pieces of clothing which keeps cool making it useful in deserts.
Jacket
<ul><li>The symbol "[[" was used in a place where it is not useful.</li> <!--br--><li>The part "]]" of the query was not understood.Results might not be as expected.</li></ul>Very slightly better than the duster in sharp protection and a slightly smaller move speed penalty,.
Parka
<ul><li>The symbol "[[" was used in a place where it is not useful.</li> <!--br--><li>The part "]]" of the query was not understood.Results might not be as expected.</li></ul>The key to domination of the arctic circle. Makes winters, tundras and megalomanic walk-in freezer projects survivable.
Over Head Layer
Cowboy hat
Obvious throw-back to the Western-esque themes of RimWorld. Laugh at the sun while the harmful UV rays harmlessly bounce off your beautiful hat.
Tuque
<ul><li>The symbol "[[" was used in a place where it is not useful.</li> <!--br--><li>The part "]]" of the query was not understood.Results might not be as expected.</li></ul>In the decision between winter survival and style, some lesser souls will ditch their cowboy hat for a tuque.

To calculate the final value of an attribute:
(<base value> + <material base value>) * material multiplier
e.g. The blunt defense value of a Devilstrand t-shirt (5% + 3%)*1.3 = 10.4%
