Endgame Gold
Showcase your wealth by constructing insanely expensive furniture made from pure gold or more affordable alloys (rose gold, white gold). Use Gold Bars that are obtainable via A Standalone Gold Mod.
It is advised to use this mod with other visual mods like Cosy Furniture. The reason for this is that shiny gold looks too out of place in default rusty/dusty Kenshi interiors.
Weight of each of the furniture pieces in the base game was estimated if it is steel. After this, it was adjusted to pure gold density.
Rose gold: uses 25% copper by weight. The calculations assume that the mined copper is not pure, and the pure copper contents is around 50% of the ore weight. In the real world: pure copper content depends on the ore type and might vary 30-90%.
White gold: uses 25% nickel by weight. The base game doesn’t have nickel, so instead we assume that Raw Iron ore contains 11% of nickel by weight. In the real world: nickel content in iron ores is usually less than 3%.
Gold Furniture (lvl2 tech, required Gold Bars research from A Standalone Gold Mod): allows to build pure-gold furniture.
Rose Gold Furniture (lvl3 tech, required Gold Furniture research): allows to build more affordable furniture with rose colour from Au750 (use 25% copper in alloy)
White Gold Furniture (lvl3 tech, required Gold Furniture research): allows to build more affordable furniture with white colour from Au750 (use 25% nickel in alloy, consider 11% nickel content in Raw Iron ore)

Decided not to add gold plated furniture pieces. They should require much less gold and have the same appearance as the pure gold. It is not a true wealth, just fake.
Skipped purple gold (no aluminium in the base game) and blue gold (no indium in the base game) to make the mod simpler for now.
1. It’s not possible to place items on top of Throne Platform from a normal build menu. A possible solution is to build a furniture piece nearby, save your game (don’t forget this step!), open debug menu (Shift+F12) and manually move furniture on top of the pedestal.
2. Unfortunately, deconstruction refund percent is a global Kenshi property, so it’s not possible to fine-tune it for the furniture in this mod without affecting other furniture. Recommended to use Full Refund mod to obtain all gold back on deconstruction.
3. Build variants (Gold, Rose Gold, White Gold) are randomly shuffled in the build menu, it’s a Kenshi code overlook. There is no way to enforce strict and uniform order, like Gold -> Rose Gold -> White Gold.
