Advanced Storage

Revolutionize Your Resource Management with Advanced Storage in Oxygen Not Included

Are your carefully managed liquid and gas reserves constantly overflowing, or are you struggling with complex piping networks to move resources across your base? For dedicated duplicant managers in Oxygen Not Included, the base-game storage solutions can feel limiting. Fortunately, there’s a mod designed to address these challenges and bring a new level of efficiency to your colony: Advanced Storage.

Unlocking Infinite Capacity and Universal Access

The Advanced Storage mod introduces a groundbreaking second tier of storage buildings for both liquids and gasses. These aren’t just bigger containers; they represent a significant leap in technology. The most remarkable feature is their ability to achieve infinite compression. This means your storage units will never become full, eliminating the constant worry of spills and waste. Beyond sheer capacity, these advanced units offer unparalleled convenience through shared inventory. Imagine piping valuable resources into a storage unit on one side of your sprawling asteroid base and drawing them out from a completely different location, without the need for intricate pipe layouts traversing the entire map. This seamless connectivity dramatically simplifies logistics and frees up valuable construction space.

Key Features of Advanced Storage:

• Infinite compression for unlimited storage capacity.
• Shared inventory allows for cross-base resource access.
• Supports storage of multiple elements within a single unit.
• Thermally isolated internal compartments prevent heat transfer between stored elements.
• Safe destruction and rebuilding of units without data loss.

Strategic Placement and Resource Considerations

Given their immense power, the Advanced Storage buildings are positioned deep within the technology tree. Duplicants will need to research Catalytics to unlock access. Once researched, these essential structures can be found in the “Base” tab of the building toolbar. Be prepared for a significant investment; each advanced storage unit requires substantial resources, including steel, plastic, and the rare diamond. Visually, the advanced liquid storage unit is distinguished by its purple hue, while the advanced gas storage unit sports a light yellow color, making them easy to identify amidst your existing infrastructure.

The mod offers a unique solution for managing diverse gasses and liquids. You can store water, polluted water, petroleum, and any other element together within a single advanced storage unit. Crucially, each element is thermally isolated, ensuring no unwanted heat exchange occurs between them. Furthermore, if you need to relocate your storage, you can safely deconstruct the buildings and rebuild them elsewhere; your stored resources will be preserved. The mod’s developers are actively working on refinements and encourage feedback through their community channels.
