Buildable Natural Tile

Build the Unbuildable: Introducing Buildable Natural Tile for Oxygen Not Included

Discover a new layer of strategic construction within Oxygen Not Included with the Buildable Natural Tile mod. Ever wished you could harness the unique properties of natural formations and incorporate them directly into your base designs? This mod transforms that wish into a reality, allowing you to place and build with solid elemental blocks that are typically unbuildable in the base game.

Unlocking New Design Possibilities

The core of this mod lies in its ability to break down the environmental barriers that dictate your construction options. Instead of being limited to standard building materials, you can now directly utilize the very fabric of your asteroid. This opens up a wealth of creative and practical applications, enabling you to create structures with unique thermal, chemical, or physical characteristics derived from the natural elements themselves. Imagine insulating a critical area with a specific natural tile or integrating a naturally occurring resource directly into your infrastructure.

Key Features at a Glance

The Buildable Natural Tile mod offers several compelling features for any aspiring duplicant engineer:

• All Solid Elemental Blocks: Gain the capability to build with any solid element found on your asteroid, offering unparalleled customization.
• Configurable Options: Tailor the mod’s behavior to your playstyle and preferences, ensuring a seamless integration into your gameplay experience.
• [DLC Only] Chinese Translations: For players utilizing the DLC, comprehensive Chinese translations are included for enhanced accessibility.

Getting Started and Important Considerations

Implementing this mod into your Oxygen Not Included experience is straightforward. Once installed, you’ll need to research “Basic Farming” to unlock the ability to construct these natural tiles. Building them is as intuitive as placing any other structure; simply select the desired natural block and place it within your construction plans.

It’s important to be aware of a specific limitation: when you choose to dig up a natural tile that has been built, there will be a net loss of approximately 50% of its original mass. While this might seem like a drawback, it serves as a balancing mechanic, reflecting the inherent challenges of manipulating the asteroid’s natural formations. This encourages thoughtful placement and long-term planning, adding another strategic element to your base development.
