'''Blindfolds''' are a form of [[clothing]] added by the [[Ideology DLC]] that reduces [[Sight]] and pleases [[ideoligion]]s that venerate blindness.

== Acquisition ==
Blindfolds can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] or [[{{P|Production Facility 2}}]] if at least one colonist capable - of tailoring - has the [[Blindsight]] meme.{{Check Tag|Clarification needed|Does the crafter need the meme, the colony, both?}} They require {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.

== Summary ==
Wearing a blindfold inflicts the "Blindfolded" hediff, setting [[Sight]] to a maximum of {{Bad|20%}}. As with any other effect that would reduce to sight to {{Bad|20%}}, this results in a {{+|30%}} bonus to [[psychic sensitivity]]. Note that this only sets a maximum bound, it does not set the actual value - if other conditions would force wearer's Sight below {{Bad|20%}}, they will still do so while wearing the blindfold.

Wearing a blindfold will satisfy a pawn with a [[Blindsight]] ideology. Pawns who believe in the blindsight meme will get a {{+|2}} [[mood]] offset from wearing a blindfold.

The blindfold is also unique in that it occupies the [[Apparel layers|eye layer]], which no other apparel does. This allows it to stack protection with Headgear layer items that also cover the eyes, such as [[power armor]] helmets. As the Eye layer is considered to be over the Headgear layer, the blindfold will attempt to [[Apparel#Protection|mitigate or negate]] damage, and thus take damage to its {{HP}}, before headgear items do.

== Analysis ==
The blindfold will not get much use outside of colonies using the blindsight meme. While it does increase a pawn's [[psychic sensitivity]], the {{Bad|-80%}} sight offset is crippling in battle and significantly impairs a pawn's ability to work. A pacifistic psycaster, or a psycaster equipped with an eltex staff (itself a poor weapon) and supported by other pawns can make some use of the higher [[Psycasts#Neural_Heat|neural heat]] limit offered by this item. Outside of combat, barring a blindsight ideology, the blindfold should be removed in order to limit work speed and efficiency penalties.
