Add the "DIRT AESTHETIC" precept
Finally, a precept for colonists who think cleanliness is a mental illness.
Your believers don't want sterile tiles. They want blood stains. Not because they're psychopaths (well, maybe)—because stains are evidence. Proof that bodies worked here. Bled here. Lived here.
Clean freaks scrub away history. Your dirt devotees want to smell it, see it, feel it grinding under their boots. A pristine floor is a dead floor. The floor of a place where nothing worth doing ever happened.
This mod inverts the filth response: dirty rooms make your colonists happy. Clean rooms drive them insane.

SISTER MODS
Part of the "Aesthetics of Filth" ideology collection. Because beauty is subjective. And disturbing.
- Dirty Is Beautiful — For those who love the grime
- Corpses Are Beautiful — For those who love the decay
Stack them together and watch your colony become a monument to biological appreciation.
