Streamline Your Colony with Auto Priority Sorter for Oxygen Not Included
Managing your duplicants’ workloads in Oxygen Not Included can be a complex dance. Ensuring the right duplicant is assigned to the most critical tasks at the opportune moment is key to a thriving colony. The Auto Priority Sorter mod injects a powerful layer of automation into this process, intelligently managing personal priorities based on your duplicants’ unique skill sets and traits.
Intelligent Task Allocation
This mod takes the guesswork out of assigning priorities. By analyzing each duplicant’s skills, the Auto Priority Sorter automatically distributes priorities across various job categories. This ensures that your most skilled duplicants are consistently directed towards high-priority tasks, maximizing efficiency and preventing bottlenecks.
Core Sorting Mechanics
The mod employs a sophisticated set of rules to maintain a balanced and productive workforce:
- Top-tier talent in each chore group (those with skill values of 3 or higher) are automatically assigned a priority of 5, ensuring critical jobs are handled by the best available duplicants.
- To guarantee that every duplicant has an assigned task, the lowest-ranked duplicant in any given category is set to priority 2.
- Chore groups where no duplicant possesses any relevant skill are assigned a neutral priority of 3.
Overwork Protection and Consistency
Worker well-being is paramount. The Auto Priority Sorter includes built-in overwork protection, limiting any single duplicant to a maximum of four job categories at priority 5. Any additional assignments at this high level are automatically downgraded to priority 4, preventing burnout. Furthermore, duplicants with trait-disabled skills for a specific job category are intelligently skipped in the sorting process, mirroring the behavior of the base game’s UI for seamless integration.
Stable Skill Values
With the “Exclude Temporary Bonuses” toggle enabled by default, the mod relies solely on stable skill values. This means permanent traits, learned skills, and practice levels are considered, while short-term buffs like those from early/late rising or celestial events are disregarded. This ensures consistent and predictable priority assignments, allowing you to plan your colony’s operations with confidence.
Compatibility and Usage
The Auto Priority Sorter mod works seamlessly with both the base game of Oxygen Not Included and the Spaced Out! expansion. To utilize its powerful features, simply navigate to the Duplicant Priorities screen, click the settings (gear) button, and select “Auto Sort.”
