Hi everyone, I just made the account to say this, I figured out that this suggestion should go here but if i have to move it somewhere else tell me.

Well I was playing in 0.16.27 and I saw the new refined concrete, it looks cool and I like it, but I think we should have a better reason to get it, right now we have concrete with a 140% walking speed, and improving it to refined concrete it gives us just a 10% bonus and becomes a 150% bonus.

As we need more iron and steel to make this refined concrete I think that the buff should be more noticeable, like going to 200%, idk if this is too much or not, but for me just a 10% buff for that many materials seems quite low.

I believe this was probably also due to some people disliking the new concrete texture (53637)

Totally agree! IMHO 200% is too much, but 175% speed buff for refined concrete and 150% for concrete will be ok.

We use golden concrete for a 250% buff, and it's ridiculously too much. The thing becomes comical even at 150% when you have four exoskeletons, but 175% might be OK.
