Cells of Interest

Master Your Base Layout with Cells of Interest for Oxygen Not Included

Tired of discovering where your duplicants stand or where crucial outputs appear *after* you’ve already committed to a build in Oxygen Not Included? The “Cells of Interest” mod is here to revolutionize your base planning, providing vital visual cues before you even place a single tile.

Eliminate Build Uncertainty

Imagine placing a new Natural Gas Generator and instantly knowing precisely where the CO2 byproduct will vent, or where your industrious duplicants will position themselves to operate it. This mod eliminates the guesswork by overlaying a dynamic color-coded system onto the build grid as you select and place structures.

Understanding the Color Guide

The “Cells of Interest” mod uses a clear and intuitive color system to highlight key areas around a building during the placement phase. Each color signifies a specific interaction or output, allowing for informed decisions on placement and adjacent construction. The system includes:

• Green: Indicates a primary tile where a duplicant will stand to operate the building.
• Faint Green: Highlights potential alternative standing locations a duplicant might choose.
• Cyan (Light Blue): Denotes a tile where liquid outputs will appear.
• Amber (Orange-Yellow): Marks tiles where gaseous byproducts will be released.
• Violet (Purple): Shows the specific tile where solid items will be dropped.

When a single tile is designated for multiple functions, the colors will blend, creating a mixed hue that represents all associated interactions. This comprehensive visual feedback is accompanied by a small, easy-to-understand color guide displayed alongside the game’s default legend during building placement.

Seamless Integration and Compatibility

The “Cells of Interest” mod is designed for ease of use and broad compatibility. It functions flawlessly with both the base game and the Spaced Out! expansion, even with all DLCs enabled. Furthermore, it has been tested and confirmed to work correctly with the “FastTrack” setting active. A significant advantage of this mod is its safety for both new installations and removals from existing saves; it stores no data within your save files, meaning you can add or remove it at any time without consequence.
