The '''simple helmet''' is the first available headgear that can be crafted from metal.

== Acquisition ==

Simple helmets can be manufactured at a [[fueled smithy|fueled]] or [[electric smithy]] with a [[Skills#Crafting|crafting]] skill of at least 5. Requires 40 [[metal]]lic materials and {{ticks|3200}} of work. Usage of different materials enhances protection offered and durability.
Can be purchased via trading or looted from Outlanders and Pirates.

== Analysis ==
Simple helmets are a relatively cheap way to protect the head, a vital part of any pawn. A steel simple helmet can beat all but the highest [[quality]] [[war mask]]s, and is on par with an expensive [[hyperweave]] [[veil]] (beating all other materials). Simple helmets don't provide much insultation - if temperature is an issue, you may want to wear hats like a [[cowboy hat]] or [[turque]] instead.

[[Flak helmet]]s provide significantly better protection - a steel flak helmet beats a plasteel simple helmet. However, flak helmets require [[component]]s and [[plasteel]] to create - the former is often in high demand, and the latter may be difficult to get for newer colonies. The three power armor helmets (recon, marine and cataphract {{royaltyIcon}}) provide even more protection and cover the whole head, but are even more expensive. So in early game and/or when dealing with large numbers of pawns, the simple helmet provides a decent amount of protection for a small amount of resources.

Simple helmets are fairly heavy with a mass of 2kg - tied for the heaviest helmet with the cataphract helmet {{royaltyIcon}}. However, this is unlikely to be relevant in most circumstances.

Protection offered by a simple helmet depends on its [[quality]] and [[material]]. It has a material effect multiplier of 50% for all types of damage.

==Styles==
{{Ideology|No category}}
[[Ideoligion]]s allow the selection of styles which then change the texture of the certain items and buildings when constructed by the colony. These style variants can be crafted if the colony has the selected style, or can be looted from raiders from factions with the requisite style.

== Version history ==
* Prior to Alpha 17, it was known as the '''Military helmet'''. In Alpha 17, it has been renamed, received a slight buff to protection and no longer required components.
*In Beta 19 it became cheaper, and materials now affect armor rating. It also protects against heat.
