Controlled Overlay
Master Temperature Control in Oxygen Not Included with Controlled Overlay
Precise temperature management is a cornerstone of survival in Oxygen Not Included, influencing everything from crop yields to the well-being of your duplicants and critters. While the game’s overlay system offers valuable insights, fine-tuning temperature parameters can sometimes feel clunky. Enter Controlled Overlay, a mod designed to bring unparalleled precision and ease to your temperature monitoring. This enhancement transforms how you interact with the relative temperature overlay, giving you direct, numerical control over your environmental analysis.
Unlock Exact Temperature Input
The core of Controlled Overlay lies in its ability to replace the imprecise slider of the relative temperature overlay with a dedicated text input field. No more painstakingly dragging a slider to pinpoint a specific temperature. With this mod, you can simply type the exact temperature value you wish to focus on. Whether you’re aiming for the perfect incubation temperature for a Gie, ensuring your Metal Refinery operates optimally, or checking if your Hydroponic Farms are within their ideal range, Controlled Overlay provides the accuracy you need.
Seamless Integration and Effortless Use
This mod is designed for intuitive use, integrating seamlessly into the existing game interface. Once the temperature overlay is active and set to relative mode, the central display of the temperature slider transforms into an editable field. You don’t need to clear the existing value; simply start typing your desired temperature, and the slider will instantly adjust. The mod is also unit-aware, respecting your in-game temperature unit preferences, whether you use Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin, ensuring a familiar and consistent experience.
