Author of the [SYR] Essentials Mod: Stone: mlie

[SYR] Essentials Mod: Stone Mod rebalances RimWorld’s stone types to give each material a clearer purpose, making stone selection more meaningful during both map choice and construction planning. It also improves the colors of granite and jade, and adds two new jade floor types.

[SYR] Essentials Mod: Stone Features

The [SYR] Essentials Mod: Stone Mod overhauls all stone types so each one has a more distinct role and tradeoff.

  • Mining: All stone types are slightly easier to mine.
  • Mass and sharp damage: All stone types now share the same mass and sharp damage values.
  • Stonecutting speed: Cutting stone blocks is faster depending on the stone type.
  • Granite visuals: Granite is recolored so it no longer looks too similar to sandstone.
  • Jade visuals: Jade receives a minor recolor.
  • New floors: Two new jade floor types are added.

Stone type roles

  • Sandstone: Very fast to work with, but also the weakest stone type. It is ideal for quickly upgrading from wood structures.
  • Granite: The durable counterpart to sandstone. It requires more work to build with, but provides the strongest structures.
  • Limestone: A balanced all-rounder with average performance in every aspect.
  • Slate: Offers a large beauty bonus, making it excellent for simple structures and furniture without inherent beauty. It is fast to work with but fragile, so it fits best in protected areas.
  • Marble: Has a significant beauty multiplier, making it especially useful for sculptures and already beautiful structures. It is relatively strong, but more labor-intensive to use.

Compatibility notes

  • Savegames – Adding: Safe, although some walls might be damaged because maximum HP values changed.
  • Savegames – Removing: Safe.
  • Incompatibilities: None.
