The war mask is a tribal clothing item. It provides minor protection, as well as increasing Pain Shock Threshold, allowing the wearer to take more damage before crumpling. War masks can be purchased from traders, crafted (by tribal factions), or stripped from tribal raiders.

Acquisition

War masks can only be made by tribal factions. They can be made at a crafting spot, hand tailor bench, or electric tailor bench. They require 25 wood and 100 units of work.

Summary

In addition to minor head protection, a veil increases the pain shock threshold of its wearer by +10%, allowing its wearer to take more damage before being downed.

Analysis

War masks are a cheap source of armor for tribespeople in the early game, if you have a good craftsman. While they don't give much protection, the increase in pain shock threshold helps your pawns stay longer in the fight before giving in to pain.

Wood is reasonably easy to obtain in most biomes, so obtaining materials shouldn't be too much of an issue. Rather, the greater issue is having to divert labor to obtaining the wood and crafting it.

War masks can be equipped on Wimp colonists to allow them to function under certain illnesses which would normally surpass their pain threshold.

  • 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.

    Trivia

    The War Mask is set up in the game's code to be stuffable, however the stuff categories only allow one possible Stuff choice, namely wood.
