'''Tuques''' are woolly caps worn in colder climates to protect the upper head and ears from the bitter cold and wind chill from the likes of ice sheets and tundras. Unlike [[cowboy hat]]s and [[bowler hat]]s, tuques don't provide a [[Social Impact]] bonus.

== Acquisition ==
Tuques can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] or [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}. [[Leather]]s cannot be used to create tuques.

Tuques can also be [[trade|purchased]] or stripped from Outlanders and Pirates.

== Analysis ==
Tuques, like [[parka]]s, significantly improve minimum comfortable temperature, meaning they're designed for colder [[biome]]s, especially the more extreme ones which can drop below {{Temperature|-30}} in Winter (sea ice, ice sheets, tundras, boreal Forests). Tuques 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 {{Temperature|{{Q|Guinea pig fur|Insulation - Cold Factor}}||delta}}. The warmest valid choices, starting with megasloth wool {{Temperature|{{Q|Megasloth wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}}||delta}}, can be compared on the table, below. 

Compared to [[cowboy hat]]s and [[bowler hat]]s, tuques 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 tuque of normal quality would provide {{Temperature|{{#expr:{{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Cold Factor}}*{{P|Insulation Factor - Cold}}-{{Q|Guinea pig fur|Insulation - Cold Factor}}*{{Q|Cowboy hat|Insulation Factor - Cold}}}}||delta}} 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]]{{IdeologyIcon}} 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. 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 [[#Material_Table|Tailcap]] page.
