Simple Helmets should be producible at smithies

[XeoNovaDan]

Self-explanatory. Since simple helmets are implied as fairly crude in nature (mediocre protection, low manufacturing cost, the lack of components needed to produce them), and since the medieval side of RimWorld has been fleshed out a tad more (plate armour), perhaps simple helmets could be producible at fuelled and electric smithies as stand-in medieval helmets.

Of course, the elite tribal pawns should probably also spawn with these - maybe the berserker chiefs.

Clearly you've not read the secret hidden text that says they're equipped with GoPro cameras, and air conditioning!

+1 for smithies

This seems like a reasonable choice to me. Scary War Masks at crafting/tailoring spots. Simple Helmets at smithy, Advanced helmet still at machining.

That said, an elephant/rhino/bear/thrumbo cowboy hat is pretty good armor too.

Also, advanced helmet needs new artwork because it's too similar to the simple helmet.

Advanced helmet gets a HUD thingy? Over-9000?

Congrats, Dan. Now the simple helmet is available at the smithy!
