Master Your Duplicants’ Workflow with the Chain Tool Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Tired of your duplicants juggling tasks inefficiently? Wish you could dictate a precise sequence of operations for your colony? The Chain Tool mod for Oxygen Not Included offers a powerful solution, allowing you to meticulously orchestrate your duplicants’ actions and streamline complex projects.

What is the Chain Tool Mod?

The Chain Tool mod introduces a revolutionary way to manage your duplicant workforce. Instead of relying solely on default priorities, this mod enables you to create explicit chains of errands, ensuring that specific tasks are completed in the exact order you desire. Think of it as creating detailed work orders that your duplicants will follow to the letter, breaking down large projects into manageable, sequential steps.

Key Features and Functionality

The Chain Tool mod is packed with features designed to give you granular control over your duplicant assignments:

• Chaining Support: Force your duplicants to execute a variety of essential errands in a strict, predefined order.
• Supported Errands: Includes critical tasks such as Construct, Deconstruct, Dig, Mop, Empty Pipe, and Move To errands.
• Flexible Creation Methods: Easily set up chains using either the intuitive “Auto Chain” toggle or by directly dragging and linking existing errands.
• “Links” System: Chains are organized into sequential “links.” All errands within a single link can be performed concurrently, but the next link only begins once the previous one is fully completed.
• Visual Feedback: Errands marked for chaining display a star, and those already in a chain show their sequence number (1st, 2nd, etc.). Only errands in the current active link (marked as “1st”) are eligible for execution.
• Priority Override: While chains dictate order, errands with the high-priority yellow marker (!!) will still be executed immediately, regardless of their position in the chain.
• Seamless Navigation: A “goto” button allows you to instantly jump your camera to the location of a selected chain link, perfect for managing errands across vast distances or different planetoids.
• Persistent Chains: Your carefully crafted chains are saved with your game, ensuring continuity across cycles.
• Mod Compatibility: Works harmoniously with mods like Blueprints Expanded, allowing for automated chaining of blueprint-placed construction tasks.

Unlocking New Possibilities

With the Chain Tool, you can tackle intricate construction projects layer by layer, ensure precise deconstruction sequences, manage resource clearing and sealing operations with unparalleled accuracy, and so much more. It’s an essential tool for any colony aiming for peak efficiency and meticulous planning.
