Blueprints Expanded

Streamline Your Colony with Blueprints Expanded for Oxygen Not Included

Managing a sprawling duplicant colony in Oxygen Not Included can be a monumental task. Replicating complex designs, from intricate plumbing systems to elaborate oxygen generators, often involves tedious manual construction. Fortunately, the Blueprints Expanded mod injects a powerful dose of efficiency, allowing you to save, share, and deploy your most ingenious creations with unprecedented ease. This mod isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a fundamental overhaul of how you approach base building.

Effortless Replication and Smart Deployment

At its core, Blueprints Expanded empowers you to capture entire structures as blueprints. Once saved, these blueprints can be placed instantly, saving you countless cycles of construction. But the utility doesn’t stop there. A built-in snapshot tool offers a quick way to copy sections of your base without the formal blueprint creation process, and it even keeps a history of your recent copies. Navigating your saved designs is a breeze thanks to the Blueprint Selection UI, which presents your blueprints in a clear, organized list.

Advanced Features for Smarter Building

Blueprints Expanded goes far beyond simple copy-pasting. Here are some of the standout features that will revolutionize your building process:

• Settings Transfer: Blueprints now intelligently store building settings. When you place a blueprint, these saved configurations are applied automatically, ensuring your machines and systems function exactly as intended right out of the box.
• Material Swapping: Encountered a shortage of a specific material? No problem! When placing a blueprint, you’ll see a preview of required materials. You can then swap out missing resources for available ones, and even save these custom material configurations for future use.
• Force Rebuild: Need to quickly upgrade or repair existing structures? Hold the “F” key while placing a blueprint over existing buildings to force a rebuild using the materials specified in your blueprint.
• Note Tool: Leave important reminders or detailed plans directly in your base with the integrated Note Tool, ensuring critical information is always at hand.
• Partial Placement: Need to deploy only a specific component of a larger blueprint? This mod allows you to selectively place only certain types of buildings from your saved designs.

Seamless Integration and Compatibility

This mod is designed to play nicely with your existing Oxygen Not Included experience. It boasts compatibility with blueprints created by the original Blueprint mod, allowing you to import your legacy designs. Furthermore, Blueprints Expanded integrates smoothly with the Planning Tool mod, offering even more robust design and deployment options. If you’re serious about optimizing your colony’s layout and construction speed, Blueprints Expanded is an essential addition to your Oxygen Not Included toolkit.
