About
No more you need to waste your wood, steel and cloth with buildings, floors and textiles! With Cheap Materials, you can now make more with your stuff by mass-producing cheaper alternatives.
They're weaker than their base materials though, and provide no beauty bonuses.
This is a redone version of an old mod.
Features
- Wood Planks: Woody material, made at stonecutter table or crafting spot. Ratio 30 to 50.
- Metal Sheets: Metallic material, made at stonecutter table. Ratio 30 to 50.
- Rock Powder: Stony material, made at stonecutter table. Ratio 2 to 50.
- Cheap Plastic: Woody and metallic material, made at biofuel refinery. Ratio 20 to 50.
- Woven Fiber: Fabric and leathery material, made at tailoring table or crafting spot. Ratio 30 to 50.
- All the recipes also have a 4x bulk version.
- Floors for all of them, look into the Floor tab in the Cheap Floors dropdown. Most of them require Stonecutting, and the plastic floor requires Biofuel Refining.
- There are also recipes to extract metals from stone chunks at a smelter. Not very efficient, its intended to help in case you need stuff like plasteel very quickly.
Update 22/11/2025: Adjusted the color of Rock Powder and added Advanced Cement, make of Rock Powder and Steel. It has much higher HP, and comes with two new versions of Concrete and Paved Tile floors, which have higher beauty, for that brutalist feel.
Recommended
Stuffed Floors for more floor variety, and
Dragon's Retexture for even better graphics.
