'''Silver tile''' is one of the [[floors]] that you can construct.

== Acquisition ==
Silver tiles 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==
Silver tiles gives {{+|4}} [[beauty]] and has a [[Cleanliness]] of {{+|0.2}}. It also takes 60% the time to clean [[filth]] on it. It is not [[flammable]] and does not penalize walk speed.

Silver tiles also count as a [[fine floor]] for the purposes of [[noble]]s.{{RoyaltyIcon}}

== Analysis ==
Compared to other general floors, they are quite beautiful, but resource intensive and add a significant amount of [[wealth management|Wealth]] to the colony. While it is a trivial-to-defend way to improve area [[beauty]] and [[cleanliness]], its practical use as flooring is limited. It is considerably more efficient to construct [[sculptures]] to improve [[room stats|room beauty]] in most circumstances. 

There may be some merit to its use in defensive areas, such as killboxes, where non-flammability is important, where more beauty will improve the mood of colonists in combat and help prevent [[mental break]]s occuring at inopportune times, but where sculptures would be at risk of destruction. The clean time factor can also help against [[blood]].

=== Fine flooring ===
Silver tiles are surprisingly competitive as a [[fine floor]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}, which are all resource intensive. [[Impressiveness]] weighs heavily towards the lowest stat, so the small Cleanliness of silver and [[gold tile]]s help. Gold tiles are 10x more expensive - while more beautiful, [[sculpture]]s are usually a superior form of beauty.

*Silver tiles have the same beauty of [[fine carpet]]s, while only being 6 {{icon small|silver}} [[Market Value]] higher. Meanwhile, silver tiles are ''much'' faster to construct, have +0.2 Cleanliness, are 333% faster to clean, and are non-flammable. However, [[cloth]] is easier to grow in massive quantities when the [[biome]] supports it. If the cloth needs to be bought, then silver tile usually comes out ahead. 
*[[Fine stone tiles]] are also nonflammable, but only have +3 beauty and no Cleanliness. Stone takes longer than even fine carpet to construct, and creating [[stone block]]s is a time-consuming task. The main appeal is that stone is very cheap; stone is nearly always available, and fine stone has half the [[wealth]] of silver. Fine stone floor also has a cleaning time of 80% (25% more than silver). 

Note that carpet requires the seperate [[Research#Carpet making|Carpet making]] research. Both silver and fine stone require the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] instead, a pre-requsite for many other essential projects.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.1.2562|1.1.2562]] - Now considered fine floor.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Beauty decreased from 5 to 4 and cleaning time factor added. Description changed from ''For a futuristic but royal look, silver tiles fit perfectly into luxurious rooms. They get a bonus to cleanliness.'' to ''For a futuristic but royal look, silver tiles fit perfectly into luxurious rooms. They are quick to clean and get a bonus to cleanliness.''
