Straw Floor

Description
Adds a straw floor made from hay.

The straw floor is mediocre at first glance:

Property
Value
Beauty
0
Cleanliness
-0.2
Flammability
75%
Cost
3 Hay

However, it does not accumulate dirt, sand, etc. or animal filth, so a barn floored with it won't be eternally awful simply because the animals are walking around in it.

If it burns, it'll turn into a "burnt straw" variant with the same basic behaviour and stats as other burnt flooring.

It removes straw floors defined by MoreFloors or Expanded Floors if they're present, as they would be redundant to this floor. If you want extra floors removed, please comment. This feature was added in the third-party "revived" version by [56e] Adda, and is added here because it was a good idea.

The mod should be safe to add to saves, but not safe to remove unless you remove all of the straw flooring (and blueprints thereof) that it adds.

This mod was previously available for A17 and B18, and there is a third-party version for 1.0 through 1.2 (without the filth absorption) that was copied from the earlier versions using my textures.

If you find any bugs or problems, I'd be happy to address them—just let me know.

Note: RimWorld 1.3 includes a "straw matting" floor that makes this mod redundant, and might or might not have been adapted from this mod given that it includes a filth-reduction multiplier. As such, I don't plan to update this mod for 1.3 unless people specifically ask for it as a visual or balance "tweak" mod. I mod because I want certain features to exist in the game, and in 1.3 the feature already exists.

@DinoDanger Read the description; this mod is now essentially present in vanilla. If you want a balance-tweak or graphics-tweak version, I'm open to that if people ask specifically, but the core of the mod is redundant in 1.3, so I don't plan to update.

Congratulations on making a Mod that is so good that it is now in the Vanilla rendition. Good job! :orwell_relationship:

Graze Up and similar will allow animals to eat grass things in special ways, but don't do anything about terrain so far as I see (floor is terrain). From a superficial look, Animals Forage is probably looking for the Diggable terrain affordance, which doesn't apply to straw floor (and shouldn't, because you can place it on top of stone). I don't think there's anything there that really applies here. If Animals Forage were to supply anything special for compatibility, then I'd be happy to support that, but it doesn't advertise doing so.

Graze Up might be an example, since it allows animals to forage for grass through snow, though I actually share your concerns about balance in this case. Grass generally won't grow through a straw floor AFAIK, and if animals are eating the straw it should be destroyed same as if they were eating the hay normally.

That said, the mod Animals Forage might be more appropriate, since then your chickens are rooting around for bugs, which I could easily see getting into a hay floor. But you might already be compatible with that mod (?) because I thought I saw chickens digging up bugs recently. I just can't remember weather they were doing so on my new barn floor...
