Are Wood Tiles simply unfair?

[Dopey Shepard]

15 decor per each, its not like wood is even difficult to get, I get my 120 max decor in the rooms even with dirt nearby, I don't need no sculptures, no paintings, not even a decor-oriented dupe. Am I missing something here?

I don't think you could get that kind of OP decor item available at the start of the game in main game (non-dlc)

Tell me I'm wrong. I know dupes will get extra benefits from sculptures and paintings and stuff but to have your flat decor just maxxed out like its nothing - isn't that kind of OP?


Instead, Wood Tiles should just maybe produce extra percent to decor, like normal tiles when you choose what to build them out of, like 30-50% extra decor bonus, no?

Doesn't seem like that big of a deal. You can do the same with metal tiles.

120 decor isn't the cap. Higher decoration will boost your dupes rating even faster, so they need less time to reach max.

but then why does it say in early game that 120 decor is max? Is it a feature or a bug?

It is compared to the cost of the wood tiles. I've been running 2 full flox ranches for over 100 cycles and I still only have a small portion of my base using wood tiles. And I'm not really using wood for anything else yet, though I'm going to have to start converting it to ethanol soon I think. Floxes don't generate wood that quickly, and a single wood tile is 200kg of wood. It's staggering how quickly you blow through your wood supply just making a few new wood tile bedrooms.

Might be a bit stronger if you have arbor trees going. Though metal tiles are still better.

If you average 120 decor over the entire cycle, that is the maximum morale bonus. So its not really a bug but it is misleading.

Instead of fancying up the entire asteroid, what you usually do is stack a ton of decor in areas where the dup spends a lot of time, like the rec room or the baracks, and that stacked decor can make up for time spent in areas of low decor, like the power spine, so that their average for the day still gets up to the +120 cap.

IE: if they spend half their cycle in rooms with 240 decor and the other half in rooms with 0 decor, they will get the full bonus because the average decor over the cycle was 120.

I see, didn't know about that, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks a lot, guys))
