Copy Materials Tool

Streamline Your Colony with the Copy Materials Tool for Oxygen Not Included

Managing a sprawling asteroid base in Oxygen Not Included can be a monumental task. Building, rebuilding, and ensuring every structure is optimized takes time and effort. Thankfully, a powerful Quality of Life mod, the Copy Materials Tool, is here to revolutionize your construction workflow. This ingenious mod enhances the game’s built-in “Copy Settings” functionality, extending its capabilities to construction materials, making repetitive building tasks a breeze.

Effortless Material Replication

The core of the Copy Materials Tool lies in its ability to seamlessly transfer construction materials from one building to others of the exact same type. Imagine building a series of insulated gas conduits or multiple insulated tiles. Instead of manually selecting the material for each individual build, you can now simply designate one building as your material source, activate the tool, and then apply those specifications to any number of identical structures. This feature alone saves countless duplicative clicks and significantly speeds up base expansion and upgrades.

Comprehensive Building Support

This mod isn’t limited to just basic structures. It offers robust support for a wide array of Duplicant-built elements:

* **Conduits:** Effortlessly copy materials for regular and insulated liquid conduits, gas conduits, and even logic and automation wires.
* **Bridges:** Both standard and extended bridges are fully compatible, ensuring your intricate transport networks can be replicated with the desired materials.
* **Smart Rebuilding:** The tool intelligently handles the deconstruction of existing target buildings and places new blueprints with the copied materials, all while preserving crucial conduit connections.
* **Batch Operations:** Streamline the process further by clicking and dragging the tool over multiple target buildings, applying the material copy in a single, efficient operation.

Intuitive Usage

Using the Copy Materials Tool is incredibly straightforward. First, select the building whose materials you wish to replicate. Then, in its side screen, click the new “Copy Materials” button. Finally, click or drag over the target buildings of the same type. The mod handles the rest, queuing deconstruction, placing new blueprints with the desired materials, and maintaining existing conduit connections. It even intelligently recognizes if a target building already uses the specified materials, avoiding unnecessary deconstruction and rebuilding.

The Copy Materials Tool is a must-have for any Oxygen Not Included player looking to optimize their building process and reclaim precious time for more critical colony management tasks.
