'''Fine stone tile''' is a type of [[floor]] added by the [[Royalty DLC]]. They can be constructed with a choice of [[Sandstone Blocks|Sandstone]], [[Granite Blocks|Granite]], [[Limestone Blocks|Limestone]], [[Slate Blocks|Slate]] or [[Marble Blocks|Marble]].

== Acquisition ==
Fine stone tiles of any type can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each tile requires {{Required Resources}}, {{ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

== Summary ==
Each fine stone tile gives {{+|3}} [[beauty]]. All types of fine stone tile have the same stats and texture, but differ in color. It has a cleaning time of 80%. Fine stone tiles do not slow movement and are not flammable.

It is considered [[fine floor]]ing for the purposes of [[title|nobility]].

== Analysis ==
There are two primary use cases for fine stone tile, namely fine flooring for meeting the room requirements of nobles, and general flooring. 

=== Fine flooring ===
{{see also|Fine floor}}
Fine stone tile requires more work to construct than [[fine carpet]], the [[stone block]]s require more work to create, and only have a [[beauty]] of 3 compared to carpet's 4. However, stone is not flammable, and only adds about half as much [[wealth management|wealth]] to the colony. Carpet also takes 200% work to clean, rather than fine stone's 80%. A [[firefoam popper]] can negate fire concerns, but the [[firefoam]] itself can makes a room very dirty (and therefore not impressive).

[[Silver tile]]s are suprisngly competitive. Silver is naturally more expensive, but has a higher beauty, cleanliness bonus, requires only 60% clean time, and is much faster to create. Silver tiles are just over twice as expensive, but the work saved in stone cutting, build time, and cleaning can be made up by doing profitable tasks.

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, fine stone floor are trivial to defend, quite beautiful, but work and resource intensive. This could make it useful for combat zones, where the high beauty keeps fighters happy, and non-flammability. It is also a good way to train construction skill. Besides failure, there is no penalty for using low skill constructors, and the beauty can be useful.

However, [[sculpture]]s and another floor are usually much more efficient. A [[large sculpture]] of normal quality provides {{+|100}} beauty and costs {{icon small|stuff}} 100 stone blocks. 5 fine stone tiles gives {{+|15}} beauty and the same cost. It takes {{ticks|30000}} to create 1 sculpture, and {{ticks|5*{{P|Work To Make}}}} to create just 5 stone tiles, before skill. If you have great constructors, but lack a high skill Artist, then fine floor may be favorable.
