Bio-Inks: Rechargeable Printing Pod

Bio-Inks: Rechargeable Printing Pod – Revolutionize Your Duplicant Recruitment

Tired of disappointing printing pod offers in Oxygen Not Included? Introducing Bio-Inks: Rechargeable Printing Pod, a mod designed to give you more control and value from your duplicant recruitment. This innovative mod introduces a new resource, Bio-Ink, that allows you to effectively earn a “refund” for rejected prints and apply it towards future, more desirable arrivals.

Earn and Spend Your Bio-Ink

Every time you decline an offer from the printing pod, you’ll now receive 1kg of Bio-Ink. Accumulate 2kg of this valuable resource, and you can then trigger a new printing pod offer. This essentially means that for every two offers you reject, you gain the opportunity for a free, fresh selection of potential new duplicants. This system empowers you to patiently wait for the right duplicants without feeling like you’re wasting valuable opportunities.

Customize Your Next Print with Bio-Ink Variants

The Bio-Inks mod goes beyond simple refunds. At your crafting station, you can infuse Bio-Ink with various materials to create specialized versions, influencing what the printing pod offers next. This opens up exciting new strategic possibilities:

• Eggy Bio-Ink: Increase your chances of receiving critter eggs and baby critters.
• Seedy Bio-Ink: Prioritize the arrival of various seeds.
• Metallic Bio-Ink: Influence the pod to offer ores and metals.
• Nutritious Bio-Ink: Boost the likelihood of receiving food items.
• Vacillating Bio-Ink: Attract higher-quality duplicants, potentially with the desirable Vacillator perk.
• Suspicious Bio-Ink: Embrace randomness with a chance for highly varied duplicant traits.
• Medicinal Bio-Ink: (Requires Diseases Expanded mod) Obtain medicines and medical supplies.

Even when rejecting these tampered inks, you’ll still receive a portion of the infused Bio-Ink back, ensuring no resource goes entirely to waste.

Mod Settings and Compatibility

Further customize your experience through the mod’s settings. You can adjust the probability of random duplicants appearing, even as starting candidates. Additionally, the mod is designed for safe removal mid-game, offering flexibility for your colony management.

Bio-Inks: Rechargeable Printing Pod offers a significant upgrade to the duplicant recruitment mechanic, providing players with more agency and strategic depth. Embrace the power of Bio-Ink and shape your colony’s future, one print at a time.
