Rimworld smooth floors. The in game floor removal tool adding a soil floor using the tilled soil mod with the research it brought putitng a different floor on top and removing it nothing works.

Actually a smooth stone floor has a beauty of 2 i think same as stone tiles carpets and i think metal tiles. By contrast carpets are not as pretty but also boost room s wealth stat which in turn increases room s impressiveness. Sterile tile is one of the floors that you can construct. Sterile floors have a bonus to resist becoming dirty right.
