RimCrete - Concrete
[i]Ugly walls. Unbreakable walls.[/i]
[hr]
Overview
RimCrete adds concrete as a craftable building material. Mix stone chunks with steel at a stonecutter's table to get concrete blocks. They're ugly, they're gray, and they will outlast everything else in your colony.
Materials
[b]Concrete Blocks (4x HP, 1200 HP wall)[/b]
[list]
[*] 1 stone chunk + 5 steel = 20 blocks
[*] 3 stone chunks = 20 blocks (no steel variant)
[*] Bulk: x5 recipes for both variants
[*] Completely fireproof, faster to build than stone, ugly
[/list]
[b]Reinforced Concrete Blocks (6x HP, 1800 HP wall)[/b]
[list]
[*] 1 stone chunk + 10 steel = 20 blocks
[*] Bulk: x5 recipe available
[*] Completely fireproof, slower to build, even uglier
[*] The toughest wall material in the game
[/list]
All recipes are at the stonecutter's table and require Stonecutting research. Both materials work with any structure that accepts stone.
Balance
Two ways to make concrete: spend steel to save stone, or spend more stone to save steel. Reinforced concrete takes more steel but no plasteel. Both look terrible, so your colonists will hate living inside them. Use them for outer walls, killboxes, and anything that needs to survive a beating. Save the marble for the bedrooms.
Concrete Floors
[list]
[*] [b]Concrete floor:[/b] 4 concrete blocks, -2 beauty, fireproof
[*] [b]Reinforced concrete floor:[/b] 4 reinforced concrete blocks, -3 beauty, fireproof
[/list]
Both require Stonecutting research. Functional flooring for workshops, prisons, and killboxes.
