Buildable Satellites

Unlock the Power of the Cosmos: Buildable Satellites for Oxygen Not Included

Ever gazed upon the scattered debris of a fallen satellite and wished you could harness its cosmic remnants? Now, with the Buildable Satellites mod, those dreams become a reality within the harsh environment of Oxygen Not Included! This mod introduces a compelling new gameplay loop that allows you to salvage, research, and ultimately construct your very own operational satellites.

From Wreckage to Wonder

The journey begins with discovery. You’ll need to venture out and locate a crashed satellite remnant on your asteroid. Once found, a simple interaction allows your duplicants to “Study Satellite.” This crucial step not only provides valuable data but also unlocks a brand-new technology: “Satellite Construction.”

Research and Development

To bring these celestial structures to life, you’ll need to dedicate research efforts. The newly unlocked “Satellite Construction” technology resides in the advanced tiers of your research tree, requiring a mix of basic, advanced, and radiation research points. After successful research, the true reward awaits in the “Radiation” build menu.

Construct Your Own Satellites

With the technology mastered, three distinct buildable satellite variants become available: SAT-1, SAT-2, and SAT-3. Constructing these advanced structures demands significant resources, specifically 1000 kg of Steel and 1000 kg of Enriched Uranium per unit. Once built, these satellites will function as potent radiation emitters, doubling the output of their vanilla wreck counterparts, offering a unique way to manage or leverage radiation on your base.

Key Features of Buildable Satellites:

* **Three Unique Satellite Variants:** SAT-1, SAT-2, and SAT-3 offer distinct construction possibilities.
* **Progressive Unlocking:** A logical progression requires studying wreckage before researching and building.
* **New Research Node:** Integrate “Satellite Construction” into your tech tree, positioned near Durable Life Support.
* **Vanilla Integration:** Seamlessly fits within the existing “Radiation” build category.
* **Active Radiation Emitters:** Built satellites actively generate radiation.
* **Save Game Compatibility:** Add this mod to your existing colonies without issue.

This mod adds a fascinating layer of exploration, research, and industrial might to your Oxygen Not Included experience. Harness the power of the stars and build your way to a more advanced colony!
