Devilstrand is the 3rd most protective [[textile]] in the game and the most protective against Heat, with only the significantly rarer [[Hyperweave]] and [[Thrumbofur]] offering more Sharp protection. This makes it an ideal choice for protective [[clothing]] from as soon as it is available well into the late game. A devilstrand [[duster]] offers more sharp protection, significantly more heat protection and comparable or better insulation to the [[flak jacket]] while also not imposing a movement penalty. In environments where the temperature allows it, clothing made less protective materials should be replaced by devilstrand or better by the mid-game, with dusters receiving priority for the best material. As devilstrand is the most protective textile that can be farmed, it will likely make up the core clothing textile for late game colonies with thrumbofur and hyperweave occasionally supplementing it when available.

Devilstrand can be used to craft and build the following things:

{{Ingredient List}}
  
As it provides enough sharp protection for even [[pants]] and [[button-down shirt]]s to have a chance to stop attacks, it can be valuable to also transition to using devilstrand for those items once sufficient dusters have been manufactured. As devilstrand is reliably obtainable, unlike the more protective textiles, this role may extend for the remainder of the life of the colony, even after [[thrumbofur]] dusters or [[marine armor]] becomes common. In such cases, the exceptional heat armor that even skin layer clothes provides can fill a gap in the protection offered by late game armors, potentially making it preferable to even thrumbofur for protective undergarments. That said, if it is available, hyperweave is almost as protective against heat while also offering significantly better sharp protection.
+
Devilstrand is the 3rd most protective [[textile]]. Only [[hyperweave]] and [[thrumbofur]] offer better protection, but devilstrand has the significant advantage of being growable inside your colony. Hyperweave can only be traded for (in ''very'' limited quantities), while thrumbofur is limited by [[thrumbo]]s (who appear rarely and gestate slowly). As it is easily farmed, devilstrand is a stable and staple clothing textile for mid- to late- game colonies, who have the time and research to grow it.
  
In terms of environmental protection, devilstrand is three-way tied for second most heat insulation, and is thus excellent choice for hot [[biomes]] as it provides both excellent protection and insulation and synergizes well with the heat-focused duster. However it has middling Cold insulation meaning in extremely cold biomes such as [[Sea ice]], a mix of fabrics may be required to adequately insulate pawns. Therefore, in most biomes it offers an excellent combination of protection, insulation and availability

Devilstrand [[duster]]s are a priority use of the textile. They are superior to [[flak jacket]]s, offering better armor without movement penalty. A duster and [[flak vest]] combination is directly comparable to [[marine armor]], though worse at protecting the limbs. Once enough dusters have been made, devilstrand can be used to create [[button-down shirt]]s and [[pants]], which have a chance to stop damage on its own. If cold insulation is required, then [[jacket]]s or even [[parka]]s can be used instead.

In terms of environmental protection, devilstrand is three-way tied for 2nd best heat insulation, but is middling against cold. In colder [[biome]]s like the [[ice sheet]], a mix of fabrics may be used. Otherwise, devilstrand is a very utilitarian fabric, largely due to its protection.

Devilstrand is a mediocre cash crop. While netting large amounts of money with each harvest, it takes very long to grow, so it isn't really profitable versus faster growing crops. To add to its slow growth, only growers with a minimum skill of 10 may sow it.

Fabric from devilstrand can be the best source of silver in scenarios where you are limited in workers, have an experienced artisan, and a large area of fertile land (eg. [[mechanitor]]{{BiotechIcon}} or naked brutality starts with a [[genie]]{{BiotechIcon}} colonist). Planting, harvesting, transportation to the base and processing of fabric require significantly less time than the production of flakes. A level 20 tailor with the ideology of a manufacturing specialist can increase the cost of a product x2.33 times by spending 1 hour a day on work. This will allow you to get an average of 77 silver from one cell in 42 days, which is 10% more than that of a psychoid leaves. And one mechanoid farmer can serve a field of mushrooms with an area of 2000 cells. However, to take all the goods from the orbital merchants, silver and gold, you will have enough fields with an area of 500 cells.

Devilstrand is a valuable fabric obtained from the devilstrand mushroom. It is an extremely strong fabric, much more protective than cloth and most types of leather.

Acquisition[edit]

Devilstrand is primarily obtained by growing the devilstrand mushrooms in a growing zone, after Devilstrand has been researched. Each mature mushroom yields Devilstrand 6 devilstrand, depending on the harvester's Plant Harvest Yield stat.

Alternatively, it can also be acquired through trading or the cargo pod event.

Additionally, some raiders and outlanders will occasionally come wearing devilstrand apparel.
