See the 'Sea Ice Challenge' thread for details! I haven't yet played a biome where a parka is truly a necessity, but if it is, you'll want wool. In all but the coldest biomes, any kind of wool toque + any kind of duster or jacket is enough to protect you from the cold. Generally, wools are best for climate control, leather is better at protection, and the 'advanced materials' and devilstrand are the most protective.Ĭamelhair is the best way to protect against heat, and camels can conveniently be found in the biomes where you will need it. Once early-game scarcity is over, I use the hat and coat slot to control for temperature and everything else for protection.

This list is solely for fabrics.Well, I suppose 'works best' varies depending on what you're trying to achieve: climate control, protection, moneymaking, or styyyyle Note: Thrumbofur was not included because it is technically classified as a leather. What’s your go-to fabric in Rimworld? Let us know your ideal gear for your pawns below! You’re doing just fine! You managed to outfit your pawns with the best clothing fabrics in Rimworld! If you managed to give every colonist a pair of Hyperwave pants and t-shirt then don’t even worry about building a ship to get off that planet. It is the most expensive fabric as mentioned before and there are only two ways to get it – random drops or by trading. Hyperweave has an amazing 26 in both heat and cold insulation making it on par with camelhair in the heat and pretty good at keeping your colonists warm in the cold. While armors will obviously outperform these numbers, no other fabric can. Hyperweave has an amazing sharp armor rating of 2 and a blunt armor rating of 0.54 which is the most for any fabric in the game. That’s not to say this miracle fabric doesn’t deserve to be at the top of our list just because its the most expensive fabric in the game, far from it. Hyperweave is only slightly beaten in the heat damage category by devilstrand (2.88 vs 3) and it is beaten by the main cold insulators in the game (alpaca, megasloth, and muffalo wool). Hyperweave is the best clothing fabric in Rimworld, it outperforms the other fabrics in almost every category. The Best Clothing Fabric in Rimworld – Hyperweave If hyperweave didn’t exist, this would easily be #1 on our list of the best clothing fabrics in Rimworld. 24 hydroponic basins x 4 plants per basin x 6 devilstrand per plant = 576.ĭevilstrand is only rivaled by the extremely rare and valuable hyperweave. If you build a hydroponic layout the same way we showed you in that link above, you can get 576 devilstrand every ~15 days. This means you would need 7 mushrooms for 1 t-shirt. Each mature devilstrand mushroom produces 6 devilstrand. If you plan to grow devilstrand I highly suggest taking a look at our previous post on the most efficient hydroponic layout so you don’t waste any energy or time. In rich soil, it can take up to 29 days, half that if you use hydroponics. It takes an incredibly long time for the plant to be harvested. Devilstrand mushrooms require a grower level of 10 or higher to be sown as well as being researched in the tree. You can trade for it, get it in random drops, or grow it yourself. There are a few ways to get your hands on this fabric. Well, the megasloth is going to do that anyway once you start shooting at it, but at least you’re prepared! Megasloth Wool Cash Crop This minimizes the chance that it goes rabid and hunts your colonists down. If you get your pawns to down a megasloth (hopefully without losing a pawn), you can save it and then tame it. You can try and tame one with just the handler or you can do it in a slightly easier way. You also have a higher chance to make it angry than to tame it so good luck.įirst, you’re going to need a pawn with a handling skill of 9 or higher. It is the second hardest animal to tame in the game right below Thrumbos. They’re hurt when they hit and they can take a lot of damage. First off, you should know megasloths are extremely tough. How do you get your hands on this wonderous fabric and how do you turn it into money as previously mentioned? Well, it’s a little hard we’re not going to lie. Don’t expect to slap it on a pawn in anything above a warm breeze because it has the worst insulation against heat right next to muffalo wool at 12. This wool has the highest insulation factor against cold in the game making it Rimworld’s best clothing fabric for cold biomes. Megasloth wool is a must-have if you’re building a colony in a biome that never sees temperatures above 0.
