'''Gold tile''' is one of several types of [[floor]] that can be constructed. It provides the most [[Beauty]] of any flooring type in-game, however, it is also the most expensive.  For users of the [[Royalty DLC]], it is considered a fine tile. 

Gold tiles also has a 0.2 [[Room stats#Cleanliness|cleanliness]] value.

==Acquisition==
Constructing gold tiles requires [[Research#Smithing|Smithing]] to be researched. Each tile requires {{icon|gold|70}} [[gold]] and a [[construction]] skill of 3.

==Analysis==
Gold tiles are generally impractical for most colonies. Each tile adds 705 {{icon small|silver}} [[silver]] to colony [[Wealth management|Wealth]] and the beauty provided by each tile is significantly less, almost 10%, than the beauty provided by a [[sculpture]] of around the same value. Conversely, a gold [[small sculpture]] provides over 18x the [[Beauty]] at normal quality, while also using only 71% of the resources. Thus, the [[gold]] is much better used for other uses.

Theoretically hwoever, there are two primary use cases for gold tile, namely general flooring and fine flooring for meeting the room requirements of [[noble]]s {{royaltyIcon}}. 

===General Flooring===
Compared to other floors, they are the most beautiful by a large margin, but are extaordinarily expensive and add a massive amount of [[wealth management|Wealth]] to the colony. While it is an easy-to-defend way to improve area [[beauty]] and [[cleanliness]] as it cannot typically be destroyed without player intervention, their practical use as  flooring is essentially limited to of player preference. As noted above it is vastly more more efficient to construct [[sculptures]] to improve [[room stats|room beauty]] in most circumstances. 

Like [[silver tile]]s, they technically could have merit for use in defensive areas, such as killboxes, where non-flammability is important, where more beauty will improve the mood of colonists in combat and help prevent [[mental break]]s occuring at inopportune times, but where sculptures would be at risk of destruction. However, silver tiles are much more cost effective in this role, offering 40% of the beauty for only 10% of the market value.

===Fine Flooring===
{{Royalty|No category}}
Gold tiles do have advantages over [[fine carpets]] and [[fine stone tiles]]. Gold tiles offer significantly higher beauty than both (12 vs 4 and 3 respectively), a [[cleanliness]] bonus, non-flammability, are significantly faster to construct, and only require a [[Skills#Construction|construction skill]] of 3 instead of 6. This means they're easier to make impressive rooms out of, and to keep them impressive when they inevitably get [[filth]]y. The cleanliness-improving effects are most important in very high-impressiveness rooms.  Impressiveness values weight heavily towards the lowest stat, and aside from [[silver tile]] there are no other ways to improve a room's cleanliness while keeping it fine-floored.

Also of note, the research required for gold tiles, [[Research#Smithing|Smithing]], is very important to game progression and is likely to be unlocked anyway. Fine stone tiles requires the similar vital [[Research#Stonecutting|Stonecutting]], but fine carpets requires [[Research#Carpet making|Carpet Making]] which will not be a priority in many 

However, their cost - both in terms of aquisition and effect on colony [[wealth management|colony wealth]] is significant - there is essentially no reason to use gold tiles over using the other alternatives and spending the remaining wealth or materials on [[sculptures]] to more than make up for the lost beauty and impressiveness. Even a relatively low skilled [[Skills#Artistic|artist]] can turn the surplus gold into sculptures of sufficient [[quality]] to improve the [[room stats]] beyond that of the gold tiles.

This also holds true in comparison to the the last fine floor, [[silver tile]]s. They are also similarly quick to lay, have the same clealiness bonus, and require the same skill and research. While they have a lower beauty value of 5, silver tiles are much more cost effective, offering 40% of the beauty for only 10% of the market value

-Gold tiles gives {{+|{{P|Beauty Base}}}} [[beauty]], the highest of any floor in the game, and has a [[cleanliness]] of {{+|{{P|Cleanliness}}}}. It also takes {{Good|{{%|{{P|Cleaning Time Factor}}}}}} the time to clean [[filth]] on it. It is not [[flammable]] and does not penalize walk speed.

-== Analysis ==
+Theoretically hwoever, there are two primary use cases for gold tile, namely general flooring and fine flooring for meeting the room requirements of [[noble]]s {{royaltyIcon}}.
-Gold tiles are generally impractical for most colonies. A normal [[quality]] gold [[sculpture]] provides a [[beauty]] of {{#expr:({{Q|Gold|Beauty Factor}}*{{Q|Small sculpture|Beauty Base}}+{{Q|Gold|Beauty Offset}})/{{P|Beauty}} round 1}} gold tiles, for {{#expr:10*{{Q|Small sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}}/{{P|Resource 1 Amount}} round 1}} tiles worth of gold. Creating [[silver]], [[marble blocks|marble]], or even [[wood]] sculptures are even more cost efficient than using gold. Compared to sculptures, tiles are non-flammable, cannot be destroyed by [[raider]]s, and do not take any space. These factors are rarely an issue for interior decoration, but gives a theoretical use for defensive areas, where the beauty can help prevent [[mental break]]s from occuring. The clean time also helps when dealing with blood.
-However, for any use of flooring, [[silver tile]] is a more practical choice. Silver is also a [[fine floor]], has the same clean time, and gives {{%|{{Q|Silver tile|Beauty}}/{{Q|Gold tile|Beauty}} round 2}} of the beauty, for only {{%|{{Q|Silver tile|Market Value Base}}/{{Q|Gold tile|Market Value Base}} round 2}} of the market value. Even with 0% [[Trade Price Improvement]], you are better off just selling the gold and making silver tiles and statues.

-For endgame colonies, gold tiles are the statistically best floor. Other floors can add to [[style]]{{IdeologyIcon}} dominance, but many buildings also contribute to style. If resources aren't an issue, and you have already reached the [[raid points]] cap, then there's no reason ''not'' to use gold.
