Amphibious Minnow (Species Mod)
Introducing the Amphibious Minnow: A New Duplicant Species for Oxygen Not Included
Prepare to dive into new possibilities with the Amphibious Minnow mod for Oxygen Not Included! This transformative addition introduces a brand-new duplicant species, the Amphibious Duplicant, designed to thrive in the watery depths of your asteroid colony. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for a duplicant that could truly embrace aquatic environments, your wish has just been granted.
Embrace the Aquatic Lifestyle
The core of this mod revolves around transforming the existing Minnow into a fully amphibious being. Once unlocked through the story trait, new Minnows will possess the innate ability to breathe in any water source, from pristine reservoirs to the murkiest polluted ponds. This amphibious nature comes with a suite of exciting new features and mechanics that will challenge and reward your colony management skills.
Key Features of the Amphibious Duplicant
* **Innate Swimming Prowess:** Amphibious Duplicants possess natural swimming abilities, allowing them to navigate liquid environments with ease.
* **Watery Respiration:** They can breathe both standard atmosphere and filter oxygen directly from various water types. Be prepared for initial discomfort with polluted water and brine, leading to “itchy gills.”
* **Enhanced Liquid Resistance:** These specialized duplicants exhibit increased resistance to afflictions commonly associated with liquid exposure.
* **Unique Adaptation Skills:** Four entirely new “Adaptation” skills are available, allowing your Amphibious Duplicants to further specialize and excel in their chosen roles.
* **Gill Moisture Management:** A new stat, “Gill Moisture,” requires attention. Keeping your Amphibious Duplicants hydrated by swimming or engaging in water-based recreation is crucial to prevent stress.
* **Specialized Housing:** Enjoy a unique twist on living quarters, with plastic beds now immune to flooding, enabling underwater sleeping arrangements.
* **Optional Amphibious Crew:** For an even more immersive experience, an optional setting allows for amphibious variants of all standard duplicant personalities to populate your starting roster.
A New Frontier in Colony Design
The Amphibious Minnow mod opens up exciting new avenues for base design and resource management. Imagine underwater laboratories, aquatic farms, and specialized habitats that leverage the unique abilities of these water-loving duplicants. Whether you choose to integrate them into your existing colonies or start anew with an amphibious focus, this mod promises a fresh and engaging Oxygen Not Included experience.
