Apparel that cools rimworlders heavily?

[bevinix]

Hi guys,
i like to play in warm environments, now am wondering if a mod is already taking care of overheating rimworlders? So nothing fixed, but something they can wear to stay cool? Even with outside temperatures around 90°C?
Thanks!

Try rimunation clothing mod.
Also in the mean time use dusters.

i believe wool still gives insane buffs to clothing. why not try those

Appearello mod has lot clothes.
RimmuNation also, but those are mostly military outfits.
Try to make clothes from camelhide, or something like that with good insulation. You can check it if you click on the wool/leather info.

Do you need a mod to solve this problem? I regularly play in extremely hot jungle climates so this happens to be my forte, lol. You can go to the scenario editor in game and use add stat multiplier to increase clothing insulation and the comfortable temperature range of pawns. Pull up a calculator and make a few adjustments until you're happy with the degree of burn. Naturally this would work for super cold climates as well, and keeps existing items relevant at the same time.

However if you want specific articles of equipment that are just a step above in the insulation department compared to existing items, you may in fact need a mod to solve this problem.

Cowboy hats and dusters, preferably in
Camelhair/hide or later in DevilStrand.

If you *really* want your guys to survive in an environment where water BOILS, look to investing in spacesuits.

It adds some desert hoods and things that can easily cool your pawns to even 100 degrees celsius. Kinda OP and ubalanced but the textures look nice

The hottest outside, natural temperature ever recorded on earth was about 56 C. That is a temperature that is extremely dangerous to humans, and people cope with that kind of temperature by staying inside and not coming out most of the time. Now Rimworld is set on less friendly planets then earth, so I am fine with it getting over 56 C sometimes, but I consider any temperature above 50 C or so to be very much a survival situation.

With normal quality dusters and cowboy hats, you can get their comfortable temperatures into the 50s, with excellent and better and focusing on better materials, you can pretty easily hit 70 C+. They won't be dropping dead in 90 C weather, you just have to make sure you draft them and make them stand in the freezer when they get to moderate heat stroke.

What I am saying is that I am not sure why you need to mod around it. If you live in a dangerous climate you can handle it with vanilla things. Unless you are living in an area which is 90 C or more all the time, in which case that sounds like a challenge run anyway.

Sure, right until an enemy shows up and your frontline troops get lobotomized instantly by an lucky ikwa stab to the brain because they can't equip armour or helmets.

The Ushanka! mod adds tagelmusts, they seem to cool down about 2C more compared to a same-quality cowboy hat.

In vanilla your best bet would be dusters and cowboy hats. Cotton is ok to start, alpaca wool is better, camelhair is even better and I think Devilstrand is the very best you can get.

Does it also reduce mobility and hearing , as the real thing does?
30 feet of cloth wrapped around the head and neck does impede quite a bit, you know.
