Advanced Storage(V5)

Revolutionize Your Resource Management with Advanced Storage

Tired of juggling limited storage and the constant threat of losing valuable data when updating your mods? The Advanced Storage mod for Oxygen Not Included offers a robust solution, ensuring your precious resources are managed with unprecedented efficiency and safety. This mod not only provides vastly improved storage capabilities but also introduces a crucial data persistence feature to safeguard your inventory across mod updates.

Unparalleled Storage Capacity and Flexibility

The core of the Advanced Storage mod lies in its introduction of a new tier of liquid and gas storage. Unlike the basic storage buildings unlocked early in the game, these advanced units boast infinite compression. This means they will never reach their capacity, eliminating the constant need to expand your storage infrastructure. Furthermore, all advanced storage units on a map share a unified inventory. You can seamlessly pipe resources into a unit on one side of your base and extract them from another, eliminating the need for complex piping networks across the entire duplicant colony.

Key Features of Advanced Storage:

• Infinite compression for liquids and gases.
• Shared inventory across all advanced storage units on a map.
• Ability to store multiple distinct elements within a single unit, with complete thermal isolation between them.
• Safe destruction and rebuilding of units without data loss.
• Data persistence across mod updates, preventing inventory data loss.

Advanced Technology, Advanced Needs

These state-of-the-art storage solutions are not easily acquired. They are placed deep within the tech tree, requiring your duplicants to research Catalytics before they become available. Once unlocked, you’ll find them in the “Base” tab of the building toolbar. Be prepared for a significant investment, as each advanced storage building demands substantial resources: 400kg of steel, 200kg of plastic, and 800kg of diamond. Visually, the advanced units are distinguished by their unique colors: purple for advanced liquid storage and light yellow for advanced gas storage.

Ensuring Data Integrity

A significant improvement in this mod version is the robust saving of inventory data. This data is now preserved in a separate location within your game files, specifically within the ‘DocumentsKleiOxygenNotIncludedmodsAdvancedStorageData’ directory. This change dramatically reduces the risk of losing your stored inventory when the mod is updated, a common frustration with previous iterations. If you are migrating from a previous version (V4), simply copy your existing `.sav` files from the old mod directory to the new designated location to retain your previous inventory data.
