Tailcaps are a form of clothing added by the Ideology DLC. They provide very good cold insulation but don't provide heat insulation nor a Social Impact bonus like many other hats.

Acquisition[edit]

Tailcaps can be crafted at a hand tailor bench or electric tailor bench once the Complex clothing research project has been completed. Each requires Stuff 20 Stuff (Leathery) and 1,400 ticks (23.33 secs) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter and the work to make factor of the material. Fabrics can't be used to create tailcaps.

Analysis[edit]

The tailcap is essentially a tuque 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.

Leathers generally provide better armor and worse insulation compared to fabrics. Typically however, the low base armor of the tailcap means that even with the leathers' higher armor, it is still too low to provide meaningful protection, thus a key advantage of leather is negated. There are exceptions to both generalisations however - a thrumbofur tailcap provides almost as much protection as a steel simple helmet while also providing exceptional cold insulation. Guinea pig fur, chinchilla fur, and heavy fur also buck the trend by providing top tier cold insulation.

Thus, when deciding between the tuque 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 Tuque page.
