'''Paved tiles''' are one of the [[floors]] that can be constructed. They are an improved form of [[concrete]], as they do not provide a beauty debuff but cost double the [[steel]].
 
  
== Acquisition ==
+
==Acquisition==
Paved tile can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each tile requires {{Required Resources}} and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work.
+
Constructing paved tiles requires [[Research#Stonecutting|Stonecutting]] to be researched. Each tile requires {{icon|steel|2}} [[steel]].
 
+
==Analysis==
== Summary ==
+
Paved tiles cost two times the amount of [[steel]] in return for not giving a [[beauty]] debuff. These cheap tiles can be used to tile hospitals and kitchens in the earlier game.
Paved tiles provide no [[beauty]] positive or malus, and cleaning [[filth]] on it takes only 80% the work. It is non-flammable and does not penalize walk speed.

== Analysis ==
 
Paved tile costs twice as much steel as [[concrete]] yet has the same Walk Speed, cleaning time multiplier, and Filth Rate. However, Concrete is ugly with {{--|1}} beauty. Overall, paved tile is best suited for small rooms, if you want to avoid dedicated beauty buildings, yet still avoid the beauty penalty of concrete.
 
 
 
Paved tile represents a middle ground in between [[concrete]] and [[steel tile]] in terms of flooring quality. Compared to [[steel tile]]s required {{Icon Small|steel}} {{Q|Steel tile|Resource 1 Amount}} steel, it is much cheaper to build but has a {{%|{{P|Cleaning Time Factor}}-{{Q|Steel tile|Cleaning Time Factor}}}} higher [[cleaning time multiplier]].
 
 
 
=== Comparison to sculptures ===
 
If you have a decent artist (>6 skill), using concrete and [[sculpture]]s is generally more efficient than using paved tile and no sculptures.
 
 
 
A normal [[quality]], steel [[large sculpture]] costs {{Icon Small|steel}} {{Q|Large sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}} [[steel]] and gives {{+|{{#expr:{{Q|Large sculpture|Beauty Base #}}*{{Q|Steel|Beauty Factor}}}} }} beauty. 100 paved tiles cost {{Icon Small|steel}} {{#expr:{{P|Resource 1 Amount}}*100}} and have neutral beauty. Large sculptures take {{Ticks|{{Q|Large sculpture|Work To Make #}}*{{Q|Steel|Work To Make Factor}}}} and the concrete takes {{Ticks|{{Q|Concrete|Work To Make}}*100}}. Meanwhile, 100 paved tiles also takes {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}*100}}, but requires no other work.
 
 
 
Sculptures require a decent [[artistic|artist]], take more work, and lower skill artists can create poor [[quality]] sculptures. Paved tile is slightly more [[wealth management|wealth efficient]] with normal sculptures, though the difference over 100 tiles is only {{Icon Small|Silver||{{#expr: ({{Q|Concrete|Market Value Base #}}*100+ {{Market Value Calculator|Large sculpture|Steel|Normal}}) - ({{P|Market Value Base #}}*100)}}}}. But higher quality sculptures are more wealth efficient; a good quality sculpture is twice as beautiful for only x1.25 the Market Value and the exact same steel cost.
 
 
 
In addition, sculptures have another key advantage - you can make them out of the more affordable [[wood]] or [[stone]]. Both materials are cheaper, less in demand, and have ''at least'' the same beauty as steel. If all 3 resources are scare, then you should be using natural floor or concrete, not paved tile. As these materials are cheap, any quality concerns are mostly negated. They become even better once an artist can consistently produce good quality sculptures.
 
 
 
Sculptures require an [[art bench]] to create, making it harder for brand new colonies to make sculptures, but the bench is not particularly expensive. The other concern is [[Room stats|space]], as sculptures take up a tile of room. This is only a concern for particularly small rooms, like bedrooms, and should be weighed against simply expanding the room in the first place.
 
 
 
== Version history ==
 
* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - NPC shuttle pads now always use [[concrete]] or paved tiles as flooring.
 
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Cleaning time factor added.
