Analysis

With a Beauty of 2, carpets can quickly upgrade a "mediocre" room to an "impressive" one, perfect for those troublesome greedy colonists.

Carpet can be particularly useful in the desert where wood is hard to come by or when you might not want to use up all your precious metals. Starting a cloth farm is pretty easy, especially if you have hydroponics researched, and if you don't have the time to spare or the skill to smooth floors, it's a nice substitute. Players also use this to color code rooms, for their own benefit.

Version history

Royalty DLC carpets

Additionally, the Royalty DLC introduced Fine carpets, which require more work and more resources but provide additional beauty (4, vs. 2) and meet the requirements for nobility Content added by the Royalty DLC. There are currently three types of fine carpet, differing only in their color and description. They are:

Fine burgundy carpet / Fine indigo carpet / Fine white carpet
  • Fine burgundy carpet: Classic burgundy carpet for that classic rich look.

  • Fine indigo carpet: Soft and silky indigo carpet, for that extra sense of pomp.

  • Fine white carpet: Sublime white carpet, glimmering with subtle patterns.
