'''Hex tile''' is a type of [[floor]] added by the [[Ideology DLC]]. While extremely work intensive and moderately resource expensive, it has a very high beauty rating and, for users of the [[Royalty DLC]], is considered [[fine floor]] as needed to meet the room requirements of high-ranking [[Titles|nobility]]. | '''Hex tile''' is a type of [[floor]] added by the [[Ideology DLC]].

Hex tiles require more work to construct than [[fine carpets]], both in their actual work to build and the work needed to get the required resources, and have [[beauty]] of 3 rather than 4. However, they are not flammable unlike fine carpets, and add almost half as much [[wealth management|wealth]] to the colony. Besides these considerations, they are largely interchangeable. | Hex tiles require more work to construct than [[fine carpets]], both in their actual work to build and the work needed to get the required resources, and have [[beauty]] of 3 rather than 4.

This lack of research requirement can give the hex tile an edge if trying to rush [[titles]], and the availability of steel vs cut stone means that pawn labor can often be saved by avoiding the need to cut stone blocks. |
The comparison to [[totemic boards]] is even closer, offering the same rush opportunities but exchanging nonflammable steel for flammable wood. While wood is somewhat easier to gather than steel, being impervious to fire means that hex tiles keep one of the key advantages of totemic boards while negating its primary disadvantage. Additionally, steel is often more readily available in extreme biomes. | The comparison to [[totemic boards]] is even closer, offering the same rush opportunities but exchanging nonflammable steel for flammable wood.

Gold tiles are exceptionally expensive and their effect on colony wealth bears this out, but they also provide a phenomenal beauty rating of +12. They are also relatively quick to lay. The practicality of gold tile is limited however, due to their cost and the comparative ease of using [[sculptures]] to improve [[room stats|room beauty]]. |
Silver tiles are surprisingly competitive with hex tiles - with higher beauty, a cleanliness bonus, the high availability of [[silver]] and only requiring a construction skill of 3. This means they're easier to make impressive rooms out of, and to keep them impressive when they inevitably get [[filth]]y. Silver tiles are almost twice as expensive, but the work saved in build time required for hex tiles partially pays for the difference in pawn-hours spent by using the time saved on other profitable tasks. The effect on colony wealth may be relevant to some players however. Thus, silver tile is a strong competitor to hex tiles for many colonies. | Silver tiles are surprisingly competitive with hex tiles - with higher beauty, a cleanliness bonus, the high availability of [[silver]] and only requiring a construction skill of 3.

Compared to other floors, they are quite beautiful, but work and resource intensive. It is a good way to train construction skill as, besides failure, there is no penalty for low skill constructors, and it is an easy-to-defend way to improve area [[beauty]] as it cannot typically be destroyed without player intervention. However, their practical use as actual flooring is limited outside of player preference. It is considerably more efficient and significantly less work to construct [[sculptures]] to improve [[room stats|room beauty]] in most circumstances. | Compared to other floors, they are quite beautiful, but work and resource intensive.
