'''Sculptures''' are artistic [[buildings]] that typically have a high [[beauty]] stat. There are four types of traditional sculpture:
  
*[[Small sculpture]]

* [[Small sculpture]]
*[[Large sculpture]]

* [[Large sculpture]]
*[[Grand sculpture]]
+
* [[Grand sculpture]]
 +
* [[Terror sculpture]] {{IdeologyIcon}}
  
==Acquisition==

[[Cube sculpture]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} are identified as sculptures and do provide beauty, but have a number of unique mechanics. Their similarities to more traditional sculptures are also shared by any building in the game. As such they are not considered on this page.
All 3 sculptures are created from an [[art bench]] using {{Icon Small|stuff}} [[Wood]], [[Stone|Stony]], or [[Metal]]lic ingredients. Counter-intuitively, stone sculptures are not made from stone [[chunk]]s, but from [[stone block]]s.
 
  
Small sculptures require 50 materials and {{ticks|18000}} of work, large sculptures require 100 materials and {{ticks|30000}} of work, and grand sculptures require 400 materials and {{ticks|105000}} of work. Note that "small volume" materials ([[silver]] and [[gold]]) require 10x more items to create.

The sculpter's Art skill is the primary factor in determining the sculpture's [[quality]]. A sculptor cannot work on another sculptor's piece.

==Summary==
+
The three sculptures in Core have a high [[beauty]] rating, which depends on the sculpture size, material, and [[quality]]. [[Terror sculpture]]s do not increase beauty, but instead increase [[suppression]] of [[slave]]s.{{IdeologyIcon}}
Sculptures have a high [[beauty]] rating, which depends on the sculpture size, material, and [[quality]]. For the same material and quality, a small sculpture (base of 50) has half the beauty of a large sculpture (100), which has 4x less beauty than a grand sculpture (400). Small and large sculptures take 1 tile, and grand sculptures take a 2x2 grid of tiles. The following table compares the three sizes of sculpture:
 
  
 +
All sculptures have a 1.1x [[Sell Price Multiplier]], making them sell for more when compared to other items of the same [[market value]].
 +
 +
All sculptures will have a name and story, like items of excellent or higher qualities. See [[#Story Generation]] below for more details.

The following table compares the four sculptures:

Sculptures have a 1.1x trade multiplier when compared to other items of the same [[market value]].

=== Meditation ===
 +
{{Royalty|section=1}}
 +
Pawns with the ''Artistic'' [[Psycasts#Psyfocus|meditation]] focus can use sculptures in a 10-tile radius to increase psyfocus. This includes all pawns who are not Tribal or [[Ascetic]].
  
All sculptures will also have a name and story, like items of the masterwork or legendary qualities. See [[#Story Creation]] below for more details.
+
The highest quality sculpture is the primary source of psyfocus:

The other, surrounding sculptures give a much smaller boost:
Sculptures can quickly increase the Impressiveness of a room through Wealth and Beauty, in addition to increasing the actual [[Beauty (need)|beauty need]]. Certain rooms give increasing [[mood]] buffs for being more impressive:

The maximum meditation focus strength is thus 44% for a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or legendary quality.

== Analysis ==
 +
<onlyinclude>Sculptures can quickly increase the [[Impressiveness]] of a [[room]] through Wealth and Beauty, in addition to fulfilling the actual [[beauty|beauty need]]. Certain rooms give increasing [[mood]] buffs for being more impressive:
 
* Dining room
 
* Dining room
 
* Rec room
 
* Rec room
* Bedroom/Barracks
+
* Bedroom (inc. Barrack, Prison Room)
 
* Hospital
 
* Hospital
* Prison cell/Prison Barracks
+
* Throne room {{RoyaltyIcon}} & Ritual room {{IdeologyIcon}}
* Throneroom {{RoyaltyIcon}}
+
 
* Ritual room {{IdeologyIcon}}
+
Other than these rooms, place art where pawns will stay for a long time, such as work stations. For extra efficiency, you can combine these rooms to make the most out of the sculptures. If Dining, Recreation, and Work all happen in the same room, then the same sculpture can apply to all 3 rooms, in addition to the general increase to Wealth.
 +
 
 +
Note that sculptures increase a ''room'''s beauty rating from anywhere inside, but will only fulfill the beauty ''need'' when in an 8-tile radius from a pawn.
 +
 
 +
=== Which sculpture to create ===
 +
An initial consideration is the material the sculpture is to be constructed from - some materials, namely {{#ask: [[Beauty Offset::>0.000001]]}}, have a beauty offset. This offset is added after the beauty multiplier and only applied once per item. As such, there is an advantage in beauty per tile for large sculptures over grand sculptures when made of one of those materials. For example, Jade has beauty factor of {{Q|Jade|Beauty Factor}} and an offset of {{Q|Jade|Beauty Offset}}. As such a Jade grand sculpture would have a total beauty of ({{Q|Grand sculpture|Beauty Base}} × {{Q|Jade|Beauty Factor}}) + {{Q|Jade|Beauty Offset}} or {{#expr:{{Q|Grand sculpture|Beauty Base}}*{{Q|Jade|Beauty Factor}}+{{Q|Jade|Beauty Offset}}}}. Conversely, the {{#expr: {{Q|Grand sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}}/{{Q|Large sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}}}} large sculptures you could construct with the same materials would have a total beauty of {{#expr:({{Q|Grand sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}}/{{Q|Large sculpture|Resource 1 Amount}}) * ({{Q|Large sculpture|Beauty Base}}*{{Q|Jade|Beauty Factor}}+{{Q|Jade|Beauty Offset}})}}. In a similar vein, there is an advantage in beauty per material for small sculptures and, to a lesser extent, large sculptures. The effects of this offset are most visible at lower qualities, and the other factors in choosing a sculpture size are usually more relevant, however, it should be considered if one of the aforementioned materials will be used.
  
Other than these rooms, place statues where pawns will stay for a long time, such as a [[research]] station. For extra points, you can combine these rooms to make the most out of the sculptures. Making your dining, recreation, and work all happen in the same room will have the same sculpture apply to all 3 places, in addition to combining the wealth stat of all 3.
+
Small sculptures are the worst for beauty. For each point of beauty, they require the most work and take up the most space. Yet, because small sculptures take the most work, they have the highest [[Market Value]] per material. Therefore, small sculptures are the most profitable to sell per material. Small sculptures also have another advantage when selling: [[quality]] is a multiplier to market value, but can only increase value up to a flat cap. Small sculptures, especially of [[gold]] or [[silver]], are less impacted by the cap than the larger sculptures. Plus, traders likely won't have enough money to afford a masterwork grand sculpture.
  
===Which sculpture to create===
+
Conversely, large and grand sculptures are better to actually place around your base. Both are equally as space efficient (before rounding). You can place 4 large sculptures in 4 separate locations, as opposed in a grand sculpture needing a 2x2 space. This makes large sculptures a better solution for bedrooms and other smaller rooms, and a more flexible option generally.  
For each point of beauty, small sculptures require the most work and take up the most space. However, as they also have the highest work / material, and as [[Market Value]] takes work into account, they are the most profitable to sell (per material). Small sculptures also have another advantage - [[quality]] is a multiplier to price, but has a flat cap for increasing it. Small sculptures, especially of [[gold]] or [[jade]], are less impacted by the cap than the larger sculptures. Plus, traders ​likely won't have enough [[silver]] to afford a masterwork grand sculpture.
 
  
Conversely, large and grand sculptures are better to actually place around your base. Both are equally as space efficient (before rounding), but 4 large sculptures are more flexible to place than 1 grand sculpture. Making grand sculptures also exhibits a greater risk - if it turns out awful, you've had wasted 4 sculpture's worth of time.
+
Making grand sculptures exhibits a greater risk - if it turns out awful, you've had wasted 4 sculpture's worth of time. Conversely, grand sculptures are the best when you have [[inspiration#inspired creativity|inspired creativity]], assuming you can actually complete it. It may be wise to work on a grand sculpture, suspend it before it's completed, and finish it once the inspiration hits. Grand sculptures are also the most wealth efficient way to provide beauty of all sculptures, due to the aforementioned market value cap. A [[gold]] grand sculpture costs {{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Gold|Normal}} {{Icon Small|Silver}} at Normal quality and {{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Gold|Legendary}} {{Icon Small|Silver}} at Legendary quality, an increase of {{#expr:{{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Gold|Legendary}}-{{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Gold|Normal}}}} {{Icon Small|Silver}}. Four large sculptures would cost {{#expr: 4*{{Market Value Calculator|Large sculpture|Gold|Normal}}}} {{Icon Small|Silver}} at Normal quality and {{#expr: 4*{{Market Value Calculator|Large sculpture|Gold|Legendary}}}} {{Icon Small|Silver}} at Legendary quality, an increase of {{#expr: 4*{{Market Value Calculator|Large sculpture|Gold|Legendary}}- 4*{{Market Value Calculator|Large sculpture|Gold|Normal}}}} {{Icon Small|Silver}}.</onlyinclude>
  
==Material Table==
+
If managing wealth, carefully consider how much beauty a sculpture gives for its wealth footprint. A legendary gold grand sculpture provides 12960 beauty, but only {{#expr: 12960/{{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Gold|Legendary}} round 2}} beauty per wealth. Weigh this against a legendary quality jade grand sculpture which provides {{#expr: 8080/{{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Jade|Legendary}} round 2}} beauty per wealth. Excellent quality marble grand sculpture are much easier to obtain and provide {{#expr: 1625/{{Market Value Calculator|Grand sculpture|Marble blocks|Excellent}} round 2}} beauty per wealth. For single tile sculptures, excellent quality marble large sculptures provide {{#expr: 410/{{Market Value Calculator|Large sculpture|Marble blocks|Excellent}} round 2}} beauty per wealth. Masterwork large and grand marble sculptures are negligibly close in beauty per wealth to their excellent counterpart.

Sculptures are artistic buildings that typically have a high beauty stat. There are four types of traditional sculpture:

Cube sculpturesContent added by the Anomaly DLC are identified as sculptures and do provide beauty, but have a number of unique mechanics. Their similarities to more traditional sculptures are also shared by any building in the game. As such they are not considered on this page.

Summary[edit]

Unfinished sculpture

All four sculptures are created from an art bench using Stuff Wood, Stony, or Metallic ingredients. Counterintuitively, stone sculptures are not made from stone chunks, but from stone blocks.

The sculptor's Artistic skill is the primary factor in determining the sculptures' quality. A sculptor cannot work on another sculptor's piece.

The three sculptures in Core have a high beauty rating, which depends on the sculpture size, material, and quality. Terror sculptures do not increase beauty, but instead increase suppression of slaves.Content added by the Ideology DLC

All sculptures have a 1.1x Sell Price Multiplier, making them sell for more when compared to other items of the same market value.

All sculptures will have a name and story, like items of excellent or higher qualities. See #Story Generation below for more details.

The following table compares the four sculptures:

  • Sculpture Size Materials Base Beauty[* 1] HP[* 1] Work to make[* 1]
    Small sculpture 1 × 1 Stuff 50 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 500 for SMVs) 50 90 18,000 ticks (5 mins)
    Large sculpture 1 × 1 Stuff 100 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 1000 for SMVs) 100 150 30,000 ticks (8.33 mins)
    Grand sculpture 2 × 2 Stuff 400 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 4000 for SMVs) 400 300 105,000 ticks (29.17 mins)
    Terror sculpture Content added by the Ideology DLC 1 × 1 Stuff 100 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 1000 for SMVs) -5 150 30,000 ticks (8.33 mins)
    1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 Base values. Ignoring multipliers and offsets from materials or quality.

    Meditation[edit]

    Pawns with the Artistic meditation focus can use sculptures in a 10-tile radius to increase psyfocus. This includes all pawns who are not Tribal or Ascetic.

    The highest quality sculpture is the primary source of psyfocus:

    Quality Awful Poor Normal Good Excellent Masterwork Legendary
    Base Strength +12% +16% +20% +22% +24% +26% +28%

    The other, surrounding sculptures give a much smaller boost:

    Quality Awful Poor Normal Good Excellent Masterwork Legendary
    Strength Offset +0% +0% +1% +1% +1% +2% +2%

    The maximum meditation focus strength is thus 44% for a legendary sculpture surrounded by 8 additional sculptures of masterwork or legendary quality.

    Analysis[edit]

    Sculptures can quickly increase the Impressiveness of a room through Wealth and Beauty, in addition to fulfilling the actual beauty need. Certain rooms give increasing mood buffs for being more impressive:

    • Dining room
    • Rec room
    • Bedroom (inc. Barrack, Prison Room)
    • Hospital
    • Throne room Content added by the Royalty DLC & Ritual room Content added by the Ideology DLC

    Other than these rooms, place art where pawns will stay for a long time, such as work stations. For extra efficiency, you can combine these rooms to make the most out of the sculptures. If Dining, Recreation, and Work all happen in the same room, then the same sculpture can apply to all 3 rooms, in addition to the general increase to Wealth.

    Note that sculptures increase a room's beauty rating from anywhere inside, but will only fulfill the beauty need when in an 8-tile radius from a pawn.

    Which sculpture to create[edit]

    An initial consideration is the material the sculpture is to be constructed from - some materials, namely Gold, Marble blocks, Silver, Jade, have a beauty offset. This offset is added after the beauty multiplier and only applied once per item. As such, there is an advantage in beauty per tile for large sculptures over grand sculptures when made of one of those materials. For example, Jade has beauty factor of 2.5 and an offset of 10. As such a Jade grand sculpture would have a total beauty of (400 × 2.5) + 10 or 1010. Conversely, the 4 large sculptures you could construct with the same materials would have a total beauty of 1040. In a similar vein, there is an advantage in beauty per material for small sculptures and, to a lesser extent, large sculptures. The effects of this offset are most visible at lower qualities, and the other factors in choosing a sculpture size are usually more relevant, however, it should be considered if one of the aforementioned materials will be used.

    Small sculptures are the worst for beauty. For each point of beauty, they require the most work and take up the most space. Yet, because small sculptures take the most work, they have the highest Market Value per material. Therefore, small sculptures are the most profitable to sell per material. Small sculptures also have another advantage when selling: quality is a multiplier to market value, but can only increase value up to a flat cap. Small sculptures, especially of gold or silver, are less impacted by the cap than the larger sculptures. Plus, traders likely won't have enough money to afford a masterwork grand sculpture.

    Conversely, large and grand sculptures are better to actually place around your base. Both are equally as space efficient (before rounding). You can place 4 large sculptures in 4 separate locations, as opposed in a grand sculpture needing a 2x2 space. This makes large sculptures a better solution for bedrooms and other smaller rooms, and a more flexible option generally.

    Making grand sculptures exhibits a greater risk - if it turns out awful, you've had wasted 4 sculpture's worth of time. Conversely, grand sculptures are the best when you have inspired creativity, assuming you can actually complete it. It may be wise to work on a grand sculpture, suspend it before it's completed, and finish it once the inspiration hits. Grand sculptures are also the most wealth efficient way to provide beauty of all sculptures, due to the aforementioned market value cap. A gold grand sculpture costs 40340 Silver at Normal quality and 43340 Silver at Legendary quality, an increase of 3000 Silver. Four large sculptures would cost 40380 Silver at Normal quality and 52380 Silver at Legendary quality, an increase of 12000 Silver.

    If managing wealth, carefully consider how much beauty a sculpture gives for its wealth footprint. A legendary gold grand sculpture provides 12960 beauty, but only 0.3 beauty per wealth. Weigh this against a legendary quality jade grand sculpture which provides 1.46 beauty per wealth. Excellent quality marble grand sculpture are much easier to obtain and provide 1.37 beauty per wealth. For single tile sculptures, excellent quality marble large sculptures provide 1.28 beauty per wealth. Masterwork large and grand marble sculptures are negligibly close in beauty per wealth to their excellent counterpart.

    Material table[edit]

    Note: The table below assumes Normal quality. For the effect of other qualities, see the Quality table or the Quality page. Keep in mind that while Beauty is multiplied by the factor from quality directly, the market value increase from quality is capped. As such, the qualitative differences between 2 sculptures may be different at different qualities. The ratios of Beauty/Value, Value/Work, and Value/Material are provided as a rough guide only.

    Story generation[edit]

    Each sculpture has its own semi-randomly generated story based on past events in the colony and pre-written story segments. These stories tend to contain any of the following:

    • A past event occurring in or to the colony (see below)
    • A seemingly random event with no relation to the colony (e.g. "hundreds of doctors and engineers eating mushrooms")
    • A border to the art (e.g. "a triangular border")
    • A texture (e.g. "insert texture example")
    • A design style (e.g. "conveys a feeling of rage and happiness")
    • A location (e.g. "in a town")

    The events sometimes depicted in the story can be about any of the following that occurred in the colony's history:

    • killings
    • social fights
    • drunkenness
    • vomiting
    • landing in drop pods
    • artwork created
    • struck ore
    • person captured
    • person recruited
    • animal trained
    • animal hunted
    • surgery done
    • someone was on fire
    • someone went psychotic
    • someone gave up

    Alternatively, they can contain something random, without relating to any events in the colony at all (e.g. "this sculpture bears a portrayal of a cube"). Because of this grammar generator, artwork can have some humorous descriptions

    Version history[edit]

    • 0.9.722 - Sculptures now have sizes - small, large, and grand. Now have generated descriptions of what they depict. Will depict events that happened earlier in a colony’s life, include: killings, drunkenness, vomiting, landing in drop pods, artwork created, struck ore, person captured, person recruited, animal hunted, surgery done, someone was on fire, someone went psychotic, someone gave up
    • 1.1.2654 - Increase psyfocus gain of sculptures by 2, up to a max of 28 at legendary quality.
