Cluster Generation Manager [Vanilla/DLC]

Master Your Worlds with Cluster Generation Manager

Tired of the same old asteroid layouts in Oxygen Not Included? The Cluster Generation Manager (CGM) mod puts the power of creation directly into your hands, offering unprecedented control over every aspect of your game’s starting conditions. Whether you’re playing the base game or the DLC, this mod allows you to meticulously craft your ideal asteroid belt, from the types of planets available to their precise placement and characteristics.

Unleash Your Inner World Designer

Getting started with CGM is straightforward. Upon reaching the cluster selection screen, you’ll notice a new gear icon next to the seed input. Clicking this opens a powerful editor where you can manipulate the star map to your heart’s content. Select a preset cluster to use as a foundation, then dive deep into customizing individual planets. You can toggle planets on or off, adjust their spawn distances, define minimum separation from other celestial bodies, and even modify asteroid traits, sizes, and meteor seasons.

Key Features at Your Fingertips

The Cluster Generation Manager mod boasts an impressive array of features designed to empower players:

• Full control over all vanilla and DLC clusters as presets.
• The ability to designate planets as starter, teleporter, or outer worlds.
• Extensive compatibility with a wide range of custom planet mods.
• Customizable star map radius and a detailed starmap editor.
• Individual control over planet and POI spawn parameters, including their existence, distance, and proximity to other entities.
• Support for modded asteroid traits and the ability to blacklist specific geysers.
• Biome previews for each asteroid to help visualize your creations.
• Save and share your custom cluster configurations with friends or for future playthroughs.
• Options to prevent story traits from spawning on specific asteroids.

Fine-Tuning Your Experience

CGM goes beyond basic customization by allowing you to refine specific world generation elements. You can override Remix fragment replacement targets and even blacklist specific geysers from appearing on your chosen asteroids. For those who enjoy the challenge of modded planets, CGM offers robust support, ensuring seamless integration and the ability to tweak their spawn parameters just like vanilla worlds.

Experimentation is key, and CGM encourages it. While extreme configurations might occasionally lead to world generation failures, the mod retains your settings, allowing you to easily retry with a different seed. This makes it a powerful tool for discovering unique and challenging starting conditions, ensuring that every new game of Oxygen Not Included offers a fresh and personalized experience.
