Breathing Station Fix

Optimize Your Oxygen Not Included Bases with the Breathing Station Fix Mod

Managing oxygen flow is a critical aspect of survival in Oxygen Not Included. Duplicants rely on a steady supply, and issues with breathing equipment can quickly lead to critical shortages. The Breathing Station Fix mod tackles a common frustration: duplicants attempting to use breathing stations when they’re depleted of precious oxygen. This mod doesn’t just patch a bug; it introduces intelligent controls to ensure your oxygen infrastructure runs more smoothly and efficiently.

Intelligent Thresholds for Smarter Oxygen Management

The core of this mod lies in its introduction of customizable refill thresholds. No longer will your duplicants queue up for a mask at an empty station. Instead, you can define specific parameters to control when the station becomes available and when it should be temporarily deactivated.

• Upper Refill Threshold: This setting determines the oxygen level at which the Breathing Station becomes available for new assignments. Once the station’s oxygen reaches this percentage, duplicants will recognize it as operational.
• Lower Refill Threshold: This crucial setting defines the oxygen level at which the station will no longer accept new breathing tasks. It will remain unavailable until the oxygen level rises back to the Upper Threshold, preventing unnecessary attempts to use an empty station.

These thresholds, along with the station’s maximum capacity, can be fine-tuned to suit your specific base layout and oxygen generation capabilities.

Enhanced Station Control and Stability

Beyond the smart thresholds, the Breathing Station Fix mod offers several other quality-of-life improvements. It addresses a specific bug where duplicants would abandon their tasks if the gas flow to the station became intermittent or if a pipe was disconnected while oxygen was still present. This ensures more reliable operation of your breathing equipment.

Furthermore, the mod introduces a convenient button to copy station settings, allowing for quick replication of optimal configurations across multiple stations. You can also adjust the maximum capacity of the Breathing Station, ranging from 25 kg up to 100 kg, and set default values for the threshold sliders to streamline setup.

Tips for Optimal Performance

To get the most out of the Breathing Station Fix mod, consider the interplay between capacity and thresholds. Setting the Lower Threshold too low, especially below 5%, might lead to issues due to the constant gas inflow. For optimal performance, especially at higher game speeds or when experiencing FPS drops, it’s recommended to increase the Lower Threshold. Smaller station capacities generally require higher Lower Thresholds to function effectively. If you observe duplicants repeatedly attempting to use the station, systematically increase the Lower Threshold until this behavior ceases.
