Smoothed stone walls are, as you’d expect, smooth: they don’t have the graphic patterning that constructed (block) walls have.
When deconstructed, smooth stone walls don’t yield blocks, but instead have a chance to drop stone chunks, just as if you’d mined them. Smoothed stone walls are slightly more durable than stone walls constructed of blocks. Smoothing a section of stone wall takes four times as long as smoothing a section of floor, as there’s more work involved (it seems about right for balance purposes). This allows you to have real walls in the rooms inside your mountain hideaway without needing to mine out rock and then immediately replace it with a wall built from scratch.
The Smooth Stone Walls Mod allows you to smooth natural stone walls (just as you can smooth natural stone floors) thanks to a new option in the “Structure” tab of the architect menu.
