Best Floor Type?

[controll alt defeat]

Ignoring the costs, which is the best?



Wood floor, stone floor, carpet, smoothed rock, etc.



Looking at beauty and movement speed!

smoothed floor > Stonefloor/carpet > wood/metal floor > concrete

Why is smoothed floor the best when it's the easiest to get? That's so lame, I feel like a chump for investing in the carpet.

[Grishnerf]

yeah me too. but thats the way it is atm.
smoothed = 3 beauty , carpet = 2 beauty.



in my opinion, it should be this way

stonefloor = 3 (most work time and ressources involved. mining, cutting stones and building floor)
carpet= 2
smoothed/metal floor/wood floor = 1 (should increase/double the woodcost, cause wood/trees is easy to get after the neww seed changes)
concrete = 0 (atm concrete is -1 beauty)

Don't forget gold :3

Think silver is pretty good as well xD

[Grishnerf]

gold is 4, silver is 3.

Well, gold tiles then! (+4 beauty and quite like all floors have 100% movement modifier)

Sterile tiles for hospitals thou' despite lacking beauty.

[Grishnerf]

sterile is also good for the kitchen.

Well you said ignoring costs. Carpet uses a renewable resource and is really fast to install, with a decent beauty rating. If you're on a map where stone is abundant this is less of a thing.

I did carpet in all the bedrooms just because I could make patterns and like the way it looks. I also used carpet to make area rugs in other parts of my colony.

If you click on a floor in the build menu then click on the 'i' in the tooltip to the left you can open the detailed stats for it that shows everything you want to know.

[controll alt defeat]

This is so BS.

[Astasia]

Floor stats really don't matter at all (other than sterile for med rooms), use whichever one you like more. The only thing you for the best possible room is a couple decent large statues.

Not necessarily, in a 5x5 room plus or minus 1 beauty is 25 points. Still though I got with what I think looks good over what the pawns think looks good.

A masterwork large marble statue is over 500 beauty IIRC, but 1 point of beauty doesn't mean one point of room quality. Two large superior or better marble statues will max out a room at over 150 room quality, even with dirty raw floors, giving the max mood benefit.
