Styling station

A styling station is a station used to aesthetically edit your pawns added by the Ideology DLC. It allows the styling of hair and beards, as well as the dyeing of apparel, hair and beards.

To use the styling station, select the pawn then right click on the styling station, selecting the "Change style" option.

Acquisition

Constructing a styling station requires 80 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 800 for SMVs), 30 Steel and 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work.

Summary

You will need to grow tinctoria to get dye to change the color of your pawn's apparel and hair. Some pawns have a favorite color, and ideoligions have an associated color - dying more than 60% of a pawn's equipped clothing items in either of these colors will give them a mood boost of +1. Which specific items are dyed is not important, only the total number of items equipped and how many of them are dyed.

If a pawn has the same favorite color as their ideoligion color, they will get both buffs for a total of +2.

Apparel made from materials that have a similar color to their desired color(s) will not satisfy them. For example, elephant leather clothes will not give a buff for pawns desiring dark grey. This is because colors have to be nearly identical in shade to be considered indistinguishable by the game, and no material in the base game is indistinguishable from the available desired colors. ^{[Confirmation needed]}

Analysis

Outside of its obvious aesthetic benefits, use of styling station is of questionable mechanical utility, providing at most +2 mood with a minor but not negligible investment of time and resources. However, it can be helpful to make specific pawns identifiable by the player without having to make suboptimal apparel or material choices.

The styling station gains a bit more use if the player regularly converts prisoners. If the pawn's hairstyle does not match one approved by their ideology, they will gain a −2 mood penalty until they can change their hairstyle. Pawns will automatically attempt to change to a valid hairstyle when possible, or the player can manually order them to do so.
