Tribal headdress

Summary

Overview & Obtaining

The tribal headdress is a tribal clothing item that when worn improves the social chat impact of the colonist, much like the cowboy hat and the bowler hat.

Tribal chiefs and traders are always seen wearing a tribal headdress. They can be purchased from traders, crafted (by tribal factions), or stripped from tribal raiders.

Crafting

Tribal headdresses can only be made by tribal factions. They can be made at a crafting spot, hand tailoring bench, or electric tailoring bench with minimum skill level 4. They require 50 of any fabric and 100 units of work. Leathers can't be used to craft tribal headdresses.

Conclusion & Comparison

Tribal headdresses are strictly worse than bowler hats. Bowler hats require significantly less work (30 vs. 100) and significantly fewer materials (20 vs 50) to craft, while offering better insulation from heat (40% vs. 15%) and identical bonuses to social impact.
