'''Slave collars''' are a form of [[clothing]] added by the [[Ideology DLC]]. It covers the neck and provides additional [[slave|slave suppression]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
When worn by a [[slave]], a slave collar reduces the rate that [[suppression]] is lost by 15% per day, to a minimum of 0%. This stacks additively with all other forms of suppression loss rate offsets.

Pawns with the [[masochist]] trait get a {{+|2}} [[mood]] boost from wearing this item.

Notably, the slave collar occupies the [[Apparel layers|headgear layer]] but only the [[Table of Human Body Parts|neck body part]]. As covering the neck is relatively rare for headgear items, this means that the slave collar can be worn in addition to almost all other items. Currently, it only conflicts with the {{#Ask: [[Layer::Headgear]] [[Coverage::~*Neck*]] [[Name::!Slave collar]]}}.

== Analysis ==
As it offers no protection or insulation and doesn't take the place of any other item with the sole exception of the [[broadwrap]], which itself has many viable alternatives, there is no reason not to outfit all slaves and all masochists with this item besides the initial small cost of 25 [[stuff]]. 

Meanwhile, the constant slave suppression it provides is highly useful, making it a keystone in most slaver colonies. The masochist mood boost of {{+|2}} is admittedly minor, but it lasts until the collar itself deteriorates and costs practically nothing, making it a very cost effective choice.

As with all apparel, if the slave collar is made from [[human leather]], colonists that wear it will get the corresponding mood effects. This can be a cheap way to give a small {{+|1}} to {{+|2}} [[mood]] buff to pawns with the [[Bloodlust]] or [[Cannibal (Trait)|Cannibal]] traits or with an [[ideoligion]] with a [[Ideoligion#Cannibalism|Cannibalism precept]] of "Preferred" or higher. Unlike other sources, it does not significantly affect a pawn's insulation or armor as it would when, for example, replacing a [[devilstrand]] [[duster]] with a human leather duster. 

For all other pawns, the collar is essentially useless. It offers no protection, even when made of materials that logically should such as [[steel]], nor any insulation. It doesn't weigh much nor does it harm the user in anyway but there is simply no reason to equip it.
