}}{{Info|'''Megasloth wool''' is a type of [[fabric]] gathered by [[Skills#Animals|animal handlers]] by shearing tamed [[megasloth]].

− | + | Unlike other [[wool]]s, megasloth wool is moderately protective, with the 17th highest sharp armor of any [[textile]], and just slightly below plainleather. Like all wools, it excels in cold insulation, offering the 2nd best cold insulation - tied with the significantly rarer [[thrumbofur]], and beaten only [[guinea pig fur]]. In comparison, its heat insulation is lacking, at 19th of all textiles. | |

Despite its better armor, it is still largely irrelevant in terms of actual protection past the very early game. However, the exceptional cold insulation make it very useful in cold biomes. In addition, Megasloths have the fastest Per Day production of any wooly animal. Though it only has a somewhat improved [[Property:Beauty Factor|beauty factor]] over plain textiles, its rapid production can be used for bulk construction. Care should be taken, as like other wools in RimWorld, it is exceptionally flammable. | Despite its better armor, it is still largely irrelevant in terms of actual protection past the very early game.

They require a rancher with high Animal skill, and even then, the [[Mental break#Manhunter|manhunter]] chance is quite high. And by the time megasloths are attained, your colony may already have other solutions against the cold (though other wools are still less protective). If megasloths are unavailable, you can go for [[sheep wool|sheep]] or [[alpaca wool]], which come from easier to tame animals that have fairly fast production rates. |
