• Do carpets stack with smooth-stone floors, beauty wise
• Can I use the ships cryo-pods to prevent colonist death due to disease (i'm short on medicine and funds)

I would appreciate an answer, i did look to see if i could find the answer via Google and forum search but did not find any results with an actual answer, only other people asking the questions

1. No I don't think so. Though I'm not 100% sure, I am 99% sure
2. Er... Dunno, but if you just have them rest until they're fully healed, and keep them in bed even after they've been treated things should be okay.

1) Nope. You can't really appreciate a stone floor that you can't see.
2) Yep. Colonists also don't need food, sleep, and don't have their skills decay while in cryo.

What if i do the floor like so, to me the effect should stack but that's just my opinion

    Wall
SS-SS-SS
CA-CA-CA

I'm fairly sure that beauty stacks, otherwise you wouldn't get varying degrees of "Environment"

eg.
Pleasant
beautiful
that other one that gives you negative mood...

Then you'd get the beauty of 6 smooth stone, 3 carpet, and the walls.

About the diseases, it's worth knowing that diseases can be treated without medicine. I'm not sure if using medicine even makes a difference (it's hard to tell) but it's quite possible for colonists to survive without it. You can forbid your medicine to force the doctors not to use it when they treat.

The best way to help colonists survive is to have them rest (select colonist, right click on medical bed, "rest until fully healed"). They won't be able to do anything, obviously, but they'll develop immunity faster (immunity, once at 100%, stops the disease from getting worse and it starts getting better quickly). You can easily get them out of bed if needed.

I do know medicine helps keep infections in check better. I've had more than a few prisoners whome didn't get out of bed for various reasons that ended up having infections (probably due to poor healthcare) and without the medicine it ended up getting extreme and without amputation eventually resulting in death.

Thanks for the feedback. If you refuse medicine to your diseased colonists they increase disease level twice as fast. You cannot treat them other than feeding without medicine. They DO still fight off the disease but in my excperience they reach extreme before the disease is fought off and die.

Again the above is from my personal experience hence my last ditch effort to preserve them in cryo.
