'''Stone tile''' are one of the [[floors]] that can be constructed, with a choice of [[Granite Blocks|granite]], [[Limestone Blocks|limestone]], [[Marble Blocks|marble]], [[Sandstone Blocks|sandstone]], or [[Slate Blocks|slate]].

== Acquisition ==
Constructing stone tiles of any type requires [[Research#Stonecutting|Stonecutting]] to be researched. Each tile requires {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}}, and a [[construction]] skill of 3.

== Summary ==
Stone tiles add {{+|1}} [[beauty]] per tile, and cleaning [[filth]] takes 80% the work. They are not [[flammable]] and do not penalize walk speed.

All stone tiles have the exact same stats; even marble has the same beauty value, despite its higher beauty when used for other buildings.

== Analysis ==
Stone tiles share a similar role to [[concrete]], [[paved tile]]s, and [[flagstone]], as reasonably cheap and general use flooring. Compared to those floors, stone tile should be used if colonist time or stone blocks are at an excess.

Stone is a reasonably common material, and stone tile only requires [[Research#Stonecutting|Stonecutting]]. Stone tiles are reasonably impressive flooring that can be constructed early in a colony's life, as opposed to more beautiful flooring like [[carpet]] and [[fine stone tile]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}.

=== Compared to sculptures ===
Creating [[sculpture]]s can be more efficient for beauty, so long as you have a competent artist.

For 100 {{Icon Small|stuff}}, you could create 25 stone tiles, or {{+|25}} beauty ({{+|50}} relative to concrete). The same material can make a stone [[large sculpture]]; a normal [[quality]] sculpture is anywhere from {{+|100}} (granite, limestone) to {{+|170}} (marble) beauty. Even a poor quality sculpture, with half the beauty, can beat stone tiles. The sculpter would take more work: up to {{Ticks|30000*6}} work, but paving 100 stone tiles would cost {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}*100}} of work (for Construction 8). 
* [[Wood]] is easier to work with (taking {{Ticks|30000*0.7}} of work for large sculpture), is a generally easier material to obtain, and has the same beauty as granite. Therefore, using wood is even better than stone for this purpose.

However, sculptures have a key drawback - they reduce a [[room]]'s space. Stone tiles add to both beauty and wealth, without impacting effective space. This can be relevant for smaller rooms like bedrooms. Making rooms more cramped reduces [[impressiveness]] - both directly, and by reducing the impact of beauty on impressiveness. So in small rooms, stone tiles can be an effective installation. In large, barracks + dining room + rec room structures, sculptures end up being more efficient choice.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.2.363|0.2.363]] - added
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Cleaning time factor added.
