Flophat
Last updated 21 days ago

Flophats are a form of head clothing added by the Ideology DLC that provide exceptional cold insulation but lack the protection of helmets or the Social Impact bonuses of other hats.

Acquisition[edit]

Flophats can be crafted at a hand tailor bench or electric tailor bench once the Complex clothing research project has been completed. Each requires 20 Stuff (Fabric) and 1,200 ticks (20 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material. Leathers cannot be used to craft flophats.

Analysis[edit]

Flophata are statistically identical to tuques, down to the same stuff choices. Selection comes down to aesthetics, availability, and any ideoligious preferences.

Flophats, like parkas, significantly improve minimum comfortable temperature, meaning they're designed for colder biomes, especially the more extreme ones which can drop below -30 °C (-22 °F) in Winter (sea ice, ice sheets, tundras, boreal Forests). Flophats are limited to fabrics only - this makes a number of low cost, high insulation materials such as the wools available as an option, but also makes it so it cannot make use of the best warmth textile, guinea pig fur with a value of 38 °C (68.4 °F). The warmest valid choices, starting with megasloth wool 34 °C (61.2 °F), can be compared on the table, below.

Compared to cowboy hats and bowler hats, flophats don't offer any heat insulation or social impact bonus, but provide identical armor (which varies only with material) and much better cold insulation. Even a common cloth flophat of normal quality would provide 5.2 °C (9.4 °F) better cold protection than an elite guinea pig fur cowboy hat or bowler. If you expect your colonists to experience both hot and cold extremes, having both types of hats on hand would be wise.

The tailcap is essentially a flophat made with leather instead of fabric, to the point where it is largely statistically identical. Thus, the differences between the two pieces of headwear come primarily from the materials that are used to make them rather than items themselves. Thus, when deciding between the flophat and the tailcap, it largely comes down to that stats of the textiles are available. For ease of comparison, see the table on the Textiles page, as well as the material table below and on the Tailcap page.
