Having colonists unhappy is annoying, but what is even more annoying is dirt all over their bedroom making them unhappy.
Whenever a colonist steps on to a floor, he/she drops some dirt or sand on the floor depending on what they previously stood on. This can add up, and make a room "hideous" even though there is some nice looking furniture/walls in the room.
Now, you might say that colonists that have a cleaning duty can clean up all of the dirt/sand. But cleaning is not as important as something like construction and when you have a lot colonists there is so much dirt and sand going everywhere so quickly that your cleaners can't catch up.
So what if there was a new "doormat" that would stop this from happening. Basically if a colonist is carrying dirt and he or she steps on the doormat, the colonist would stop carrying the dirt. Obviously there should be some bad thing about it like slowing colonist movement speed and maybe it takes a small while for a colonist to wipe off the dirt/sand.
This might just be 100% unnecessary but I think that it would be nice to have.
Indeed
Check mod release latta has doormats that are now in every game i play.

fair enough, just wanted to make sure this wouldn't take the cleaning requirement out of the game.
The whole 'I don't like this mechanic so I want it to be removed' mindset can be annoying.
More features on the other hand are always good!

Well, you risk your colonists stumbling over those bodies, falling on the hard floor and getting injured beyond repair.
So I guess doormats without human bodies wrapped into them do actually make quite some sense. :P
