'''Straw matting''' is a type of [[floor]] that prevents the creation of 95% of most types of [[filth]] that would otherwise be created on it.

== Acquisition ==
Each tile of straw matting constructed requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}} }} of work.

== Summary ==
Straw matting is one of a few floors that slows down pawns to {{Bad|{{%|{{P|Move Speed Factor}} }} }} of their [[move speed]]. It is also ''very'' flammable. It is not just by far the most flammable flooring, but one of the most flammable structures in general. Precautions should be taken in case of [[fire]] in areas where this is a risk, but it can also be exploited by making intentional fire traps. When it burns it leaves [[burned straw matting]] behind.

Straw matting has a [[cleanliness]] of {{Bad|{{P|Cleanliness}} }}, which means a room entirely filled with straw matting will have a cleanliness of the same value. Cleaning [[filth]] from straw matting takes the normal amount of work.

=== Filth multiplier ===
{{Quote|''"How susceptible this surface is to filth. If this is less than 100%, some of the filth deposited here will disappear on contact."''|Filth multiplier description}}

Straw matting is the only floor with a filth multiplier. For straw matting the amount of [[filth]] deposited on it is reduced to only {{Good|{{%|{{P|Filth Multiplier}} }} }}, meaning {{%|1-{{P|Filth Multiplier}} }} of filth that would be deposited is not.

'''Note:''' Even though the description states the filth is deposited and then disappears, this is not the case. Filth sticking to the feet of pawns will instead be deposited elsewhere, meaning using straw matting as a "dormat" is counter productive. <abbr title="Version/1.4.3901">At the time of writing</abbr> it is unknown if this is a bug.

The filth multiplier is especially important for filth like [[Filth#Animal filth|animal filth]], [[Filth#Dirt|dirt]], [[Filth#Sand|sand]] and [[Filth#Trash|trash]]. Some types of filth are excluded from this, however, and will be deposited at the usual rate. These include notably: [[Filth#Blood|blood]], [[Filth#Corpse bile|corpse bile]], [[Filth#Firefoam|firefoam]] and [[Filth#Vomit|vomit]].

== Analysis ==
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Account for new cleaning time factor of other floors}}
This type of floor should be placed in any enclosed area that animals, especially farm animals, are allowed to enter. Care should be taken however - while it may be tempting to give any hauling animals paths to the warehouse where they will create minimal filth, it also essentially provides a wick directly to the same warehouse full of valuable items in the event of a fire.

A compromise would be to use matting with "fire breaks", either non-flammable walls and doors or areas of at least 3-tiles wide of non-flammable flooring at least 3 tiles wide, to minimize the spread of any fire.

=== Kitchens ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Time to overwhelm steel/sterile tile or other cleanliness positive flooring vs straw matting needs to be tested, including for non-kitchens}}<!--Note for editors looking to destub this section: Regular floor vs straw matting was tested, but cleanliness positive floors were not. Also keep in mind the last paragraph - in testing the fact that they can be combined should be accounted for--> 
For the purposes of [[cooking]], as long as a room's cleanliness is above -2.0, then the chance of [[food poisoning]] will not increase. Straw matting's {{P|Cleanliness}} is significantly above this threshold. As straw matting only creates 5% of walking filth, it is a very work efficient way to creating "clean enough" kitchens. It takes much longer to reach -2.0 cleanliness with straw than with regular floor.

Dirt floor has a cleanliness of -1.0, prevents ''100%'' of filth from standing/walking, and is non-flammable, so is superior when making earlygame kitchens. However, colonists create filth any time they step from dirt to constructed floor, making the rest of your colony dirtier. This is not a problem if your entire base uses dirt or rough floor, though dirt in general is unimpressive and slows [[movement speed]]. Note that straw matting does not require much cleaning time in the first place. So, once you have constructed flooring throughout your base and on common walkways, straw saves on overall time.

You can even pair this floor with [[steel tile|steel]] or [[sterile tile]]s in areas where filth does not or cannot accumulate, such as under stoves or chairs. This increases the overall base cleanliness of the room, while retaining the filth repellent nature of the straw matting in traffic areas.
