Cargo Thermo Sensor
Oxygen Not Included: Master Your Duplicant Cargo with the Thermo Sensor Mod
As any seasoned duplicant manager knows, controlling the environment within your asteroid base is paramount. While you meticulously manage atmospheric conditions, temperature regulation, and resource flow, a often overlooked element can cause significant disruption: the very materials your duplicants carry. Introducing the **Cargo Thermo Sensor** mod for Oxygen Not Included, a game-changing tool that puts granular temperature control directly into your hands, specifically for items in transit.
What is the Cargo Thermo Sensor?
This innovative mod introduces a dedicated automation sensor designed to monitor the temperature of items being transported by your hard-working duplicants. Unlike other sensors that focus on ambient air or static storage, the Cargo Thermo Sensor targets dynamic cargo. It operates by scanning a 5×5 tile area centered on its placement. When a duplicant carrying an item enters this zone, the sensor springs into action, comparing the cargo’s temperature against a user-defined threshold.
Seamless Integration and Powerful Applications
The true strength of the Cargo Thermo Sensor lies in its ability to integrate seamlessly with Oxygen Not Included’s existing automation system. By connecting this sensor via automation wire to various buildings, you unlock a new layer of control over your base’s internal logistics. Imagine preventing a duplicant from carrying dangerously hot materials further into your pristine base, or conversely, ensuring that only properly chilled goods make it into your cold storage facilities.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Precise Cargo Monitoring: Detects the temperature of items specifically held by duplicants, not loose debris or atmospheric conditions.
- Customizable Thresholds: Set your desired temperature limits for triggering automation signals.
- Flexible Automation Integration: Connects to Duplicant Checkpoints, doors, alarms, and other automation-compatible structures.
- Enhanced Base Safety: Prevents thermal hazards from entering sensitive areas.
- Optimized Resource Management: Ensures materials are transported to appropriate temperature-controlled zones.
Unlock Advanced Control
The use cases for the Cargo Thermo Sensor are extensive. You can use it to safeguard your base from extreme heat emanating from newly mined resources. It can also prevent fragile frozen goods from defrosting prematurely by blocking access to warmer zones. Furthermore, this mod is invaluable for fine-tuning access to specialized areas like volcano taming operations, industrial zones, dedicated freezers, and secure storage facilities. By triggering alarms or other automation, you can create sophisticated systems that react dynamically to the temperature of carried cargo, taking your base management in Oxygen Not Included to an entirely new level.
