Clarified Max Decor: Understanding Your Duplicants’ True Happiness in Oxygen Not Included

Keeping your duplicants happy and productive is paramount to survival in the harsh environments of Oxygen Not Included. While morale is a crucial factor, understanding the intricacies of decor can be a challenge. The Clarified Max Decor mod aims to shed light on this often-misunderstood mechanic, providing a more accurate representation of how decor truly impacts your colony’s well-being without altering the core gameplay.

Decoding the Decor System

In Oxygen Not Included, decor isn’t capped by a simple maximum value that instantly stops providing benefits. Instead, its influence on morale is a more nuanced, averaged effect over time. The Clarified Max Decor mod recognizes this and adjusts the user interface to better reflect reality. The game’s existing UI can sometimes present a misleading “max decor” value that doesn’t fully capture the ongoing benefits your duplicants receive. This mod seeks to rectify that by presenting a clearer picture of decor’s impact.

Enhanced UI for Better Insights

The Clarified Max Decor mod implements subtle yet significant UI enhancements designed to improve player comprehension.

• Accurate Decor Readouts: The mod removes the artificial UI limit on decor information displayed on individual duplicant cards, allowing you to see the potential decor benefits more clearly.
• Vitals Panel Clarity: To maintain a clean interface without sacrificing accuracy, the decor limit is now presented on the duplicants’ vitals panel. This ensures that the true average decor value remains easily visible and unobstructed, providing you with the most relevant information at a glance.
• Unchanged Gameplay: Crucially, this mod focuses solely on UI presentation. It does not introduce any changes to the underlying decor mechanics or gameplay systems within Oxygen Not Included. Your duplicants’ decor-based morale will function exactly as intended by the base game.

By offering a more intuitive display of decor information, the Clarified Max Decor mod empowers players to make more informed decisions regarding base design and duplicant housing, ultimately contributing to a happier and more efficient colony.
