Are you tired of the endless chore of manually connecting power infrastructure across your sprawling Oxygen Not Included bases? The tedious task of dragging wires from one building to another can consume valuable duplicant time and disrupt your carefully planned aesthetics. Introducing Auto Connect: Power, a mod designed to revolutionize how you manage electricity in your colony. Say goodbye to micromanagement and hello to effortless power grid expansion.

Effortless Power Distribution

This ingenious mod automates the process of laying down power wires. With a simple click, Auto Connect: Power analyzes your existing power network and constructs an optimal path to connect new buildings or extend your grid. It intelligently considers various factors to ensure your wiring is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing and practical for your duplicants.

Intelligent Routing and Customization

Auto Connect: Power isn’t just about speed; it’s about smart design. The mod offers a suite of configurable options to tailor the wiring process to your specific needs and preferences:

• Material Efficiency: The mod intelligently selects the most abundant wire material available in your storage to minimize resource hunting.
