Better Deselect
Streamline Your Duplicant Management with Better Deselect for Oxygen Not Included
Are you tired of the frustrating ritual of clearing your cursor in Oxygen Not Included, only to find that closing the build menu and active overlays is an unintended consequence? The “Better Deselect” mod tackles this common annoyance head-on, offering a more intuitive and customizable way to manage your building and selection actions. Say goodbye to accidental menu closures and hello to a smoother, more efficient gameplay experience.
A Smarter Right-Click
At its core, Better Deselect fundamentally alters how the right-click function operates when you’re trying to deselect an item or cancel an action. Instead of a single, all-or-nothing command, this mod introduces a configurable sequence of deselect actions. This means you have fine-grained control over what gets cleared with each right-click, preventing those moments where you just wanted to unselect a building tile but ended up closing your entire interface.
Customizable Deselection Sequences
The true power of Better Deselect lies in its adaptability. You can tailor the right-click behavior to perfectly match your playstyle. The mod allows you to configure the order in which the following elements are deselected:
- Cursor Item: This allows you to precisely unselect the item currently held by your cursor.
- Building Menu: Control whether the building menu is closed or remains open after a deselect action.
- Active Overlay: Decide if active overlays, such as the temperature or oxygen overlay, are dismissed or kept visible.
By rearranging these elements, you can create a workflow that minimizes interruptions and maximizes your focus on colony management. Whether you prefer to keep your building menu readily available for quick adjustments or want to ensure overlays are only closed when explicitly intended, Better Deselect puts you in the driver’s seat.
Enhancing Your Oxygen Not Included Experience
This mod is a prime example of how small quality-of-life improvements can significantly impact your enjoyment of Oxygen Not Included. By removing a persistent point of friction, Better Deselect allows you to concentrate on the intricate systems and challenges that make the game so compelling. If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for a more predictable and controllable deselect function, this mod is an essential addition to your collection.
