[Sugar Show]

Which one do you like more?
-Limestone
-Marvel
-Sandstone
-Granite
-Slate

Sandstone is my favorite, it combine with wood floors.

granite for strength, marble for beauty

purely for the stats. slate if going for what i like better.

[HunterSilver]

Marble has the best looking fine stone flooring, so I try to aim for marble.

for me, it depends on biome. i like marble or limestone for the hot biomes. light-colored stones reflect heat the best in RL so i think they are most fitting for hot biomes.

for woody biomes, i agree with OP and prefer sandstone.

Uranium.

Yes, uranium is a mineral.

I like doing limestone and slate checkered flooring. Gives it a chess board kind of look. Slate and Sandstone don't look bad either.

Granite and Limestone are my stone of choice for walls, for obvious reasons. Marble is strictly for sculptures, unless granite is the only other stone present.

I find the best-looking to be slate.
Sandstone flooring bothers me because it's really hard to see dirt on it and thus tell your pawns to clean it up. I feel like it should have dirt resistance, or at least resistance to appeal penalties from dirt.

Statistically, marble is best for interior walls for that little bit of extra appeal. Fortification stuff obviously prefers granite or limestone for sturdiness but realistically it doesn't make much of a difference for a long time.

I use granite at least for the outer walls of my colony. If the map has lots of it, I use it for all walls. For floors I use color coding. Limestone for walkways/corridors and plazas, marble for living quarters, slate for workshops and sandstone for barns and hydroponics gardens. For storage rooms I use either slate or limestone, depending which is more plentiful. Sometimes I do the checkered floors KalkiKrosah mentioned in my dining halls and rec rooms.

I think at this point everything in my base is titanium or marble, but I'm slowly gathering beta soooo here's hoping for that upgrade :D

I got sick of the OCD dilemma of "should I just make the rest of this out of X 'cause I have it, or risk losing my colony because I can't stand to have three wall tiles made out of a different material." I got a paint mod that allows pawns to change the color of stuff. Everything's looking great now. Also good for outfits. Some pawns just don't look good in purple.

Granite for exterior walls unless I just don't have reasonable access to it, then it's whatever I have available. Slate looks the best imo though. Mixing that with marble you can get some really nice patterns. I use Ironwood (mod I think) for interior walls because of the beauty modifier on it though.

I find for my best stone, I can't go past a bit of Strawberry Cough. Skunk is okay, but I find it a bit harsh.

Marble everything, thou i paint it all with a mod.

@ichifish there is a mod that lets you convert one type of stone in to another.
