Here's an idea, add tiers of flooring. Base wood floors should be 0, they're quick and easy to build. Where are the treated wooden plank floors at though? Make beauty and wealth scale with the amount of work and resources put into the floor, while still allowing people to choose between different types of floor. So each floor type would go from a quick and easy to build, to a slower and more expensive to build top tier floor.

IMO, the proper way to fix wood floors ugliness is to create a new material type: finished wood planks, and then make a new floor type: finished wood floor. The old wood texture should look like a crappy wooden floor, and the new wood could use the old texture. They could be made at the generic work station. You could do something with walls, also. Perhaps we could resurrect the old log cabin style walls, and have the current walls be the nice version.

I like these ideas. At the very minimum there can be rough wooden floors to match rough stone and smooth wooden floors to match smooth stone. Potentially there could be a third level, polished.

Shouldn't animals stay at least a cell away from flames? Real animals would. This behaviour is a bit silly.

Would it be possible to build an embrasure with it? (lazy to test it xd)

er embrashers adds any metrial to be buildable so sould work

I didn't create concrete as a material, I created concrete wall as a whole new building, so it wouldn't work.

Possible, sure, but I'm yet to see an embrasure that I like and I'm not going to code embrasure functionality from scratch, that sounds like too much work.

I haven't tested but it should. It's just a bunch of defs with some textures.

The A15 version works in A16.

Adds a stronger wall for late-game. Intended to be balanced around the Pandora storyteller. As of 1.0, the wall has 5000 hp and is 99% resistant to fire.

The cost of each wall is 5 aggregate, 1 cement and 5 rebar. Aggregate is crafted from stone chunks at the stonecutter's table. Cement is crafted from limestone chunks or limestone blocks at the stonecutter's table. Rebar is crafted from steel at the fueled/electric smithy. Research stonecutting and smithing to unlock the wall designator.

The dependency on limestone is both for realism and for balance. If your map has no limestone, you can buy bricks. In A16, raiding other colonies and deconstructing their limestone walls/floors will be an option.

I'm open to suggestions about balance. 5000 hp is a lot and I don't think the current cost is high enough.

It should work. Let me know if it doesn't.

This mod should be in vanilla. I've wanted it numerous times before now. Good work.

I updated it, just forgot to update this topic.

Even though I'm just downloading right now, I already consider some of your mods essential. Thank you.

It's nice to hear that!

thanks for batteries , there's quotes about "size doesn't matter as long its functional ". ..

Haha, something like that Mainly I just wanted to have a battery that was somewhat efficient. I'm still not sure if I balanced it well.

My bad, I meant tag rather than def 

This was needed. Interesting that this def was never used before, I guess Tynan changed AI in A14.

Playing at extreme difficulty is already quite threatening, if you're finding it too easy there are mods to add custom storytellers that are harder than Cass Extreme.

As for finding people to help with a mod, I recommend making as much progress as you can first.
