What's jade good for?

[CrazyBikerBear]

So what exactly does jade excel at? Gold's more valuable and has more beauty. I'd much rather just sell the jade and make gold statutes. Uranium does/absorbs more damage in weapons/walls/armor. Jade is also never a required ingredient as far as I'm aware.

Is there any reason not to just sell all your jade at every stage of the game?

Personally I make walls for my lux rooms mainly ,cheap and extremely beautiful per wall unit

Jade is second only to gold, I believe, in terms of beauty - maybe on par with silver? It won't burn. It's second only to uranium for making blunt weapons like maces. It's more plentiful than gold. You can make more sculptures and furniture from it for the same silver cost, then sell it on when you do get the chance to buy gold.

May as well ask what the point of limestone is when granite is stronger, and marble is prettier, and sandstone is apparently so much more plentiful.

Wealth in your colony increases the difficulty of raids.
jade is a cheap way of beautifying your colony and provide valuable buffs to pawns.

If you skyrocket your wealth through gold, when you could have a similar benefit through jade, without being prepared for the challenges, then you soon won't have a colony that will appreciate your golen splendours.

Also gold buys you titles in Royalty.

While it is the second-best material for making blunt weapons, the problem is that it's a stone, which means you can only make clubs with it.

Made a grand sculpture out of jade, that looks like a giant brussels sprout, and put it in the kitchen.
I did.
I regret it every single day.

Huh, never noticed that. To be fair, I went straight for warhammers because they sounded better than maces in my head and never worried about the exact numbers.
