Smoothing Expanded

Smoothing Expanded

Make RimWorld's natural stone smoothing faster, adjust its wealth or beauty if wanted, and build smooth stone directly from raw chunks.

Source and development

Source code, build instructions, validation tooling and component-reuse terms: GitHub. The Workshop download contains only the files RimWorld needs.

Features

• Adjustable wall and floor smoothing speeds from 0.25x to 10x (default 2x)
• Optional instant smoothing
• Optional wealth and beauty overrides for vanilla smoothed walls and floors
• Optional chunk-built smooth walls and floors: one matching raw chunk per tile
• Choose chunk-built, genuine vanilla results, or both catalogues
• Sandstone, granite, limestone, slate, marble, and Odyssey Vacstone
• No research prerequisite; normal construction work and vanilla deconstruction returns

Dependencies

RimWorld Core is the only requirement. Harmony is optional. Without it, wall speed, wall wealth and chunk construction still work. Independent floor speed, floor instant mode and floor wealth require Harmony. Odyssey is optional; Vacstone appears only while it is active.

Chunk-built surfaces

Chunk construction is disabled by default. Each tile costs one matching raw chunk and uses normal stone construction work.

• Chunk-built: deconstructible walls and removable floors.
• Vanilla: consumes the chunk and becomes a genuine vanilla smoothed wall or permanent floor.
• Both: shows both result types.

Chunk-built surfaces follow normal material-return rules, so refund mods can control returns. Their optional wealth and beauty overrides default off. Catalogue and constructed-value changes require a restart.

Compatibility

• Unsmooth Surface - converts chunk-built surfaces to matching vanilla rough surfaces.
• CCP's Stone Tweaks Vanilla - Core chunk-built floors inherit its stone colours.
• Configurable Deconstruct Percentage - works through normal deconstruction.
• Better Architect Menu and Architect Menu Optimizer - supported floor catalogue path.
• MinifyEverything - supports minifying and reinstalling chunk-built walls.

Vanilla-result construction has the broadest mod compatibility. The experimental floor-wealth option is off by default and may overlap with mods that replace wealth or raid calculations.

Important uninstall instructions

Do not remove this mod from a save containing chunk-built surfaces. Load the save, open Smoothing Expanded settings and select Prepare loaded save for uninstall. It converts completed custom surfaces, including packed walls in containers and caravans, and cancels unfinished blueprints and frames. Save after a successful conversion report, then remove the mod. Vanilla-result surfaces are already uninstall-safe.
