Dread leather

Dread leather

Thick, tough leather taken from some monstrous creature. The surface is covered in ugly scars and whorls, and smells faintly of rotten meat. Most people will be unhappy if made to wear apparel made of this.

Summary

Wearing stuffable items made from dread leather inflicts mood penalties on human pawns, proportional to the number of items worn:

• 1 item: −2 Dread leather <APPAREL NAME> mood
• 2 items: −4 Dread leather <APPAREL NAME> (+1) mood
• 3 items: −6 Dread leather <APPAREL NAME> (+2) mood
• 4+ items: −8 Dread leather <APPAREL NAME> etc mood

These mood penalties stack with all other apparel related mood effects and are nullified by the psychopath trait or the Inhumanized hediff.

Usage

Dread leather can be used as a material for stuffable items with the Leathery stuff tag.

While Dread leather can not be sold directly to any faction, it can still be indirectly gifted for Goodwill via Transport pod

Dread leather can be used in the following recipes:

Analysis

Dread leather is joint sixth for most Hit Points Factor, fifth for Sharp Armor, joint sixth for Blunt Armor, and joint third for Heat armor. Dread Leather has average Cold Insulation, and poor Heat Insulation. If the mood penalty is not an issue, most likely due to Inhumanization, butchering entities for their leather can be a cheap way of securing access to a relatively good material for clothing, especially in cold climates where the majority of better insulating materials offer worse armor values.

It also has a fairly low beauty factor. Thus it should only be used when there is no alternative or where its stats have little effect on the utility of the resulting item, such as in clothing production quests or armchairs whose beauty rarely significantly affects a room's quality.

Dread leather is not a reliable material to obtain in bulk. Of the four entities that can drop it, only one of them is a Basic entity that can be discovered prior to powering up the Monolith, three of them are Advanced, and none of them can be summoned at-will by way of psychic ritual. By the time it's plausible to butcher vast quantities of the entities in question for dread leather, it's unlikely that a colony will still be using leather clothing for protection, on top of the mood penalty associated with wearing it for most pawns.
