The '''simple helmet''' is the first available headgear that can be crafted from metal.
 
  
== Acquisition ==
+
==Summary==
 +
====Overview & Obtaining====
 +
Simple helmets offer cheap (albeit inferior) protection for one's head, but impose a move speed penalty of 0.04 c/s. The main pro of Military Helmets is the cheapness to manufacture and purchase, requiring little more than half of the materials that Advanced Helmets require, and also less than half as expensive when purchased. <br>
 +
They can be purchased via trading, produced at a machining table, or looted from Outlanders and Pirates.
  
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.
+
====Crafting====
Can be purchased via trading or looted from Outlanders and Pirates.
+
Simple helmets must be manufactured at a [[Machining table|machining table]], which in turn requires [[Research#Machining|machining]] to be researched in order to be constructed. A simple helmet requires 70 metallic materials (i.e. steel, plasteel, uranium, silver, gold) and 100 seconds of work (6,000 ticks) to be created, assuming baseline global work speed and no enhancements or hindrances to [[Consciousness|consciousness]], [[Sight|sight]], or [[Manipulation|manipulation]].
  
== Analysis ==
+
Usage of different materials does not affect the protection offered, but enhances durability.
Simple helmets are a relatively cheap way to protect the head, a vital part of any pawn. They don't provide much insultation - if temperature is an issue, you may want to wear hats like a [[cowboy hat]] or [[tuque]] instead. In the early game, or when dealing with large numbers of pawns, the simple helmet provides a decent amount of protection for a small amount of resources.
 
  
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.  
+
====Conclusion and Comparison====
 +
Simple Helmets are one of the three main headgear protections available in RimWorld (the others being the [[advanced helmet]] and [[power armor helmet]]), but also the least protective out of the three. While being the least protective, Simple Helmets do have a remarkable lifespan due to the inferior damage absorption, especially if made out of Plasteel. They also impose the greatest movement speed penalty along with power armor helmets, with a 0.04 c/s penalty, whereas advanced helmets only impose a 0.02 c/s penalty. Simple helmets are intermediate in terms of mass with a mass of 2kg, whereas advanced helmets have a mass of 1.2kg and power armor helmets have a mass of 2.7kg.
  
=== Comparisons ===
+
==Protection==
*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.
+
The following table is an hierarchy of the combinations which a simple helmet may offer with varying quality levels (and full durability):
*A steel [[flak helmet]] beats even a plasteel simple helmet. However, flak helmets require [[component]]s (often in high demand) and [[plasteel]] (which may be hard to get early on).

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

== 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 has a changed cost.

== Styles ==
 
{{Ideology|section=1}}
 
[[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 ==
 
* Alpha 17 - Renamed from '''Military helmet''' to '''Simple helmet'''. Received a slight buff to protection and no longer requires components.
 
* Beta 19 - it became cheaper, and materials now affect armor rating. It now also protects against heat.
