'''Fine Carpet''' is a type of [[floor]]ing introduced in the [[Royalty DLC]], to expand on the basic '''[[carpet]]''' of the core game. It has 100% walk speed and a higher [[beauty]] of 4 (vs. standard carpet's "2"), meaning it can cause a "pleasant environment" [[mood|happy thought]] in sufficient amounts. They are also flammable. It has a cleaning time of 200%.

Fine carpets require more work and more resources than regular [[carpets]] but provide additional beauty and meet the requirements for [[Titles|nobility]] {{RoyaltyIcon}}. 

Colors can be be selected from a menu.

== Acquisition ==
Fine carpet can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Color is chosen at the time of construction with no additional cost.  Each tile requires {{Required Resources}}, {{ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

==Analysis==
While extremely work and resource intensive, it has a very high [[beauty]] rating, and either it or [[fine stone tiles]] is required to meet the room requirements for high-ranking [[Titles|nobility]].

There are two primary use cases for fine carpets, namely fine flooring for meeting the room requirements of nobles, and general flooring. 
=== Fine flooring ===
{{see also|Fine floor}}
Against [[fine stone tile]]s, fine carpet has +1 beauty, takes less work to build, and the cloth takes less work to obtain, However, stone isn't flammable, which makes it easy to defend without using [[firefoam popper]]s. In addition, fine stone only takes 80% work to clean, rather than carpet's 200%. These differences are relatively small in practice (if you have firefoam available), meaning the two tiles are largely interchangable for royal rooms.

[[Silver tile]]s are suprisngly competitive. Silver is only 6 market value higher. But it has equal beauty, a 0.2 cleanliness bonus, requires only 60% clean time, and is much faster to create. Silver itself may be easier to obtain, depending on your colony's climate and Plants skill. If the colony is producing its own cloth for carpets, silver tiles are more expensive. But if the cloth needs to be bought, then they are directly comparable. Thus, silver tile is a strong competitor to fine carpets, even ones with a cloth industry.

For [[gold tile]]s, using gold [[sculpture]]s with silver or fine stone tiles is typically superior. Gold itself is not easy to obtain, negating most of the benefits of the tile.

=== General flooring ===
Compared to other floors, they are quite beautiful, but work and resource intensive. While its a good way to train construction skill as, besides failure, there is no penalty for low skill constructors, their use as actual flooring is limited outside of player preference. It requires significantly less work to construct regular [[carpet]] and [[sculptures]] to improve room beauty.

* Footnote: The fine purple carpet is very nice when paired with [[gold tile]] to create that Imperial Roman feel in your [[title|noble's]] bedroom and throneroom.

==Version history==
* [[Royalty DLC]] release - added.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Cleaning time factor added and color system overhauled. Previously there were only 3 different colors with independent descriptions. Burgundy, ''Classic burgundy carpet for that classic rich look.'', Indigo, ''Soft and silky indigo carpet, for that extra sense of pomp.'', White, ''Sublime white carpet, glimmering with subtle patterns.'' Now there is one description: ''Luxurious, ornately-patterned carpet made from fibers dyed a single color. Beautiful to look at, but cleaning it is a labor-intensive process.''
