Dusters are one of the classic hot-weather garments in rimworlds, often paired with a cowboy hat.

Acquisition

As a complicated garment, dusters require Complex Clothing to be researched and can only be made at a hand tailor bench or an electric tailor bench. A duster requires 80 of any textile and 167 units of work.

Dusters can be purchased from traders or stripped from Outlanders and Pirates.

Summary

When worn by a slave,Content added by the Ideology DLC a duster increases the rate that suppression is lost by 5% per day. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.

Analysis

As parkas are necessary to survive in very cold biomes, dusters are necessary to survive in very hot biomes (e.g. Arid Shrubland, Tropical Rainforest, Desert, etc.), and recommended for temperate biomes (i.e. Temperate Forest), as both are susceptible to heat waves, reaching up to or even exceeding 60 °C (140 °F) at the peak of summer. When made of tough materials, a duster provides reasonable sharp damage protection, and can be paired with a flak vest for an early and mid game armor set.

Dusters are usually seen as preferable to jackets, since dusters provide identical armor bonuses, also cover the legs, and have slightly higher hit points (200 vs. 160). Insulation wise, dusters offer significantly better insulation from heat (85% vs. 30%) but worse insulation from cold (60% vs. 80%) and require slightly more resources to craft.

In cold biomes, parkas may be preferable to dusters. While parkas offer less armor than a duster (20% vs. 30%) and don't cover the legs, they are significantly better at insulating from cold (200% vs. 60%)

Trade

Dusters are the most efficient apparel for Value / Material, or profit per unit textile, in the core game. If the Royalty DLC is enabled, this role is instead taken by formal vests and corsets.Content added by the Royalty DLC This is because dusters require the most work time per material. Because an apparel's Market Value is determined by (Work Time * Material Value), you'll get the most value for 1 unit material by creating dusters / noble apparel. This also means that they have the highest Crafting XP per material.

In other words, dusters are the best when you are limited by your supply of textiles, and when crafter time is in surplus. Note that other considerations can exist.

  • If no good crafters are available, but great constructors are, then armchairs are an alternative for Value / Material. However, selling any building incurs a x0.7 Sell Price Multiplier, which makes armchairs inferior for equal skill.
  • If Value / Crafter Time is more important, then you should make tribalwear and top hats instead.
For example, you could create 8 good tribalwears or 6 good dusters for Stuff 480 textiles. The tribalwears would take 14,400 ticks (4 mins) and the duster would take 60,000 ticks (16.67 mins). However, quality applies a flat multiplier, regardless of work to make. Good quality gives a x1.25 price multiplier, so making tribalwer means you'd get the x1.25 multiplier in less work. Therefore, if materials are not an issue, but crafter time is, then you should make tribalwear (or top hats) instead. If crafter time is infinite, then make formal vests / corsets instead.

Lower value materials are profitable at lower skill levels. For example, cloth dusters require only a crafting skill of 2 with a average market value modifier of 77% to average a value higher than the 120 Silver of selling the cloth itself, while the most expensive textile, thrumbofur, requires a skill level of 6 to do the same. Thus, a skill level of 6 is sufficient to average profitable for dusters for all available materials.

  • Styles

    Ideoligions 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.
