Concrete is an ingredient utilized for rocket silos, refined concrete, artillery turrets and facilities relating to nuclear material (reactors and centrifuges). Concrete serves as path with more advanced bonuses compared with stone bricks. Concrete increases walking speed by 40% and decreases vehicle rolling resistance, allowing for extra acceleration and top speed, although each vehicle is affected differently; the tank is only affected by a 20% bonus, for example. Concrete has no effect on the movement speed of enemies. When placed, it reduces the pollution absorption of ground to zero.

In Space Age, on the planet Aquilo, concrete is essential for construction. In order to place many buildings and structures on icy terrain, concrete (or one of its derivatives) must first be placed to act as insulation between the warm building and the floating ice platform.

Placement

Concrete is placed using Left mouse button and can be removed by using Right mouse button while holding any kind of path. The area in which concrete is placed can be increased and decreased by using Numpad + and Numpad -. Placing it over another type of path automatically mines the previous path.

Despite concrete not being an intermediate, the foundry recipe can use productivity modules, in addition to the 50% productivity of the foundry.

History

• 2.0.7:
  • Casting recipes added in the Space Age expansion.

• 0.16.0:
  • All terrains, including stone path and concrete, have transitions with water.

• 0.13.0:
  • Added hazard concrete.

• 0.12.7:
  • Placing stone or concrete floors will remove bushes.

• 0.12.0:
  • Introduced
  • Terrain modifies vehicle friction force (sand: 1.8, grass: 1.6, dirt: 1.4, stone path: 1.1, concrete: 0.8).
