Discover Hidden Benefits with ArtifactsPlus for Oxygen Not Included

Are you looking to add a new layer of strategic depth and unique bonuses to your Oxygen Not Included colonies? ArtifactsPlus breathes new life into the game’s existing artifact system, transforming passive collectibles into powerful sources of attribute modifiers for your duplicants. This mod encourages a more engaged approach to exploration and colonization by making artifacts crucial components of your base’s infrastructure.

Unlocking the Power of Artifacts

ArtifactsPlus introduces a compelling system where nearly every artifact, when properly displayed, grants a unique bonus to your duplicants. These aren’t just decorative items anymore; they are active contributors to your colony’s success. Imagine a Rubik’s Cube boosting your duplicants’ Science skill, or a humble Sink enhancing their Cooking abilities. Even common items like Office Mugs can stack to provide significant Quality of Life improvements, while a Sandstone artifact might just give your duplicants that extra carrying capacity they need for demanding tasks. The true joy lies in the discovery, as each artifact holds a unique, often positive, modifier waiting to be unearthed.

Strategic Placement and Activation

The effectiveness of an artifact isn’t solely determined by its type, but also by its environment. To activate an artifact’s potent abilities, several conditions must be met: it needs to be placed on a pedestal, achieve a specific decor minimum, and adhere to particular room size constraints. These criteria ensure that players must think critically about where they position their artifacts. Do you need enhanced Machinery and Digging bonuses near your automation projects, or is a boost to Transit Speed more beneficial on your main colony hub? The placement possibilities are vast and directly impact your colony’s efficiency.

Key Features of ArtifactsPlus:

• Artifacts grant unique attribute modifiers upon activation.
• Many modifiers are positive, with a few offering interesting trade-offs for strategic gameplay.
• Stackable bonuses for certain artifacts, like Office Mugs, allow for significant improvements.
• Activation requires specific environmental conditions: pedestals, decor levels, and room sizes.
• Activated artifacts visually glow and their effects can be viewed by clicking their pedestal or checking a duplicant’s bio.
• Configurable options for artifact activation time and compatibility with other popular mods.

Customization and Compatibility

ArtifactsPlus is designed with flexibility in mind. A sample configuration file is included, allowing you to easily override default modifiers or even create your own custom artifact bonuses. The mod also plays well with others, offering compatibility with mods like RoomsExpanded, which introduces new museum room types that can house and activate your precious artifacts. By delving into the provided configuration files, you can tailor the artifact experience precisely to your playstyle, ensuring your duplicants are always benefiting from these rediscovered treasures.
