The hood is a clothing item initially added in the Royalty DLC but now part of RimWorld core. They provide a +20% increase to Social Impact.
Acquisition[edit]
Hoods can be crafted at a hand tailor bench or electric tailor bench, each requiring 50 Stuff (Fabric/Leathery) and 6,000 ticks (1.67 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material.
They can also be purchased from traders, and a red hood can be found on every Bestower.
Summary[edit]
A hood offers a +20% increase to Social Impact. Note: Social impact predominantly affects the Opinion bonuses and maluses pawn interactions can create, the success chance of Speeches and some rituals.
It does NOT affect trade prices, as that is instead dependent on Trade Price Improvement. Nor does it affect prisoner recruitment, beyond slightly hastening how quickly the prisoners like the warden, as that is instead dependent on Negotiation Ability.
Analysis[edit]
Without the Royalty DLC, hoods offer the highest boost to Social Impact. The actual value of Social Impact is limited. The most practical purpose of a hood is to boost the quality of rituals. It does not have an impact on trade prices.
Hoods are inferior to almost every other type of headgear for any other purpose. Bowler hats are cheaper, have the same physical protection, same cold insulation, and better heat insulation. For combat, hoods should be switched for a helmet unless you have no other alternative. If only fabrics are available and the Ideology DLC is installed, then broadwraps are cheaper and offer more physical protection (though they can't use leather). If no DLC is available, then bowler hats are cheaper for the same protection.
With the Royalty DLC, the hood has several competitors with the same Social Impact stat. The top and ladies hat are mostly identical, with the same social impact and same cost. The key differences are:
- That the hood only requires Complex Clothing to be researched, not Noble Apparel.
- That the hood can't be used for nobles
- That the hood is unisex, and doesn't give either gender a mood debuff
- That the hood has the exact inverse insulation, offering better heat while the hats offer better cold.
The hood also offers some amount of physical protection, but for the reasons stated above, it does not have a big impact. If you require the hats for your nobles anyway, then you might as well use them. Otherwise, unless cold insulation is likely to be relevant, then the hood is superior.
