Hospital beds

What is the best material for a hospital bed?

[Astasia]

Materials don't effect the important stats for a hospital bed, so you can just use steel. You can use silver or gold to increase the impressiveness of the medical room if you want.

When you select something to build and the material you want to build it out of you can then click the 'i' on the left where it tells you what the item you are building is to see the stats.

yeah build it out of steel. for medical purpose there is no difference.

only if you take uranium, then you have unflammable medical beds. :D

It tends not to mention everything such as beauty and for other things it doesn't mention power consumption of an item not too relevant to this case but thanks anyhow :)

It does list beauty, it's near the top of the details list. Anything it doesn't show, like power use, isn't effected by material.

I made mine out of Plasteel, cuz I had 1.6k of it, another big vein in the back of my colony, and was low on steel at the time.

Material only affects health and beauty. Neither of which particularly matter in a hospital

There is a mood penalty for having an ugly hospital but it's pretty small if I remember correctly.

That being said, if someone is in the hospital then their mood will probably be a problem as is so it's something worth considering.

So does a steel bed get more beauty than a wooden one? I always build my beds out of wood. Didn't consider beauty would depend on material unless it was gold.

[Astasia]

Wood and stone aren't options for hospital beds. Steel is just the cheapest.

Beauty, comfort and sleep quality are influenced by material, you can check the info for each resource to see the multipliers.

I take my wooden beds and make them Medical. Are we talking about a Mod?

[Grek]

Hospital beds are a special type of bed that work a lot better as medical beds, you them unlock through research. It's not a mod.
