Advanced Flow Management

Master Your Duplicant Colony’s Resources with Advanced Flow Management

Tired of intricate bridge networks dictating your colony’s vital liquid and gas distribution? Introducing Advanced Flow Management (AFM), a powerful modification designed to bring intuitive control and clarity to your piping systems in Oxygen Not Included. Say goodbye to complex setups and hello to streamlined resource flow.

Effortless Flow Control at Your Fingertips

Advanced Flow Management empowers you to precisely direct the flow of liquids and gases with just a few clicks. This mod eliminates the need for cumbersome bridge arrangements by allowing you to manipulate flow direction and priority directly at junctions and building endpoints. Gain a comprehensive visual understanding of your network’s state through integrated overlay visualizations, making troubleshooting and optimization simpler than ever before.

Key Features of Advanced Flow Management:

• Flow Direction Visualization: See exactly how liquids and gases are moving through your conduits with clear indicators in the gas and liquid overlays.
• Direction Switching: Effortlessly change the intended flow path within your piping networks.
• Junction Priority Adjustment: Fine-tune the order in which resources enter or exit junctions, ensuring critical systems receive priority.
• Endpoint Priority Control: Manage the flow priorities of individual building intakes and outputs for more nuanced system behavior.
• Flow Setting Copying: Quickly replicate flow configurations across similar junctions, saving valuable construction time.

Intelligent Network Management

AFM provides the tools to redefine how your colony consumes and produces resources. By interacting with junctions, you can alter entire pipeline pathways. While the game automatically handles flow in ambiguous situations, AFM gives you the final say. You can even assign priorities to different flow directions. For instance, you can ensure that a specific gas intake is always filled before another, or that a liquid output prioritizes one destination over another.

The mod also introduces the concept of “Illegal Junctions,” visually highlighted in red. These indicate flow path conflicts, and the game will attempt to resolve them automatically when conduit changes occur. Furthermore, adjusting building endpoint priorities can lead to sophisticated resource management, such as alternating the flow of different liquid types into a single destination, creating mixed outputs when desired.

With its intuitive interface and powerful capabilities, Advanced Flow Management is an essential tool for any duplicant colony looking to optimize its resource infrastructure. Take command of your piping networks and ensure your duplicants have the resources they need, precisely when they need them.
