Tribalwear is the only neolithic garment in RimWorld, and covers the torso and legs. It is worn in place of a shirt and pants
Acquisition
As a neolithic garment, tribalwear can be constructed at a crafting spot, which has a speed penalty but does not require any research or materials whatsoever, or at a hand-operated or electric tailor bench. A piece of tribalwear requires 60 of any textile, and 1,800 ticks (30 secs) units of work.
Tribalwear can also be stripped from downed Tribal pawns, which are quite common for most colonies.
Analysis
Tribalwear removes the 'Naked' thought debuff from colonists of both genders, replacing both a shirt and pants with a single item.
Compared to a combination of pants and a button-down shirt, tribalwear is superior in almost every category:
- Tribalwear has identical armor values, but less coverage (tribalwear doesn't cover the arms and neck)
- Tribalwear has better insulation from cold (55% vs. 46%)
- Tribalwear has much better insulation from heat (55% vs. 18%)
- Tribalwear has lower materials and work cost (60 textiles/30 work for tribalwear vs. a total 85 textiles/72 work for the pants + shirt)
A bit of extra neck and arm protection is seen by many players as valuable enough to merit the lower insulation and higher crafting cost of pants and a button-down. However, colonists in ultra-hot biomes may prefer the better insulation, especially when first starting out.
Prisoner Clothing
Tribalwear is ideal for prisoners, since it offers essential bodily coverage, it's cheap, and offers little protection. This makes prison breaks easier to deal with as prisoners can be downed easier (especially important through mid-late game when enemies frequently spawn with flak vests). You can force prisoners to wear tribalwear by stripping them before capturing, and then ensuring there's a stockpile of tribalwear in their cell/barracks.
