Critter Rename

Give Your Critters Personality with Critter Rename

Tired of staring at a sea of identical Pips or Grub-grubs? Do you find yourself wishing you could bestow unique identities upon your beloved (or perhaps not-so-beloved) critters? The Critter Rename mod for Oxygen Not Included answers that call, allowing you to inject a much-needed dose of personality into your asteroid base. No longer will your loyal companions be mere numbers; they can become cherished members of your colony with names that truly reflect their individual quirks and contributions.

Beyond Generic Companions

This innovative mod grants you the power to name any creature within your Oxygen Not Included environment, whether they are tamed members of your burgeoning ranching operation or wild, untamed inhabitants of the surrounding biomes. Imagine greeting “Sparky” the Light Bug or “Boulder” the Mole as they go about their daily routines. This level of personalization goes beyond mere aesthetics; it fosters a deeper connection to the creatures that share your survival struggle.

Generational Legacy

The Critter Rename mod cleverly implements a generational naming system. When you name a critter, that name isn’t lost to the sands of time. It is passed down to their offspring. Eggs laid by a named critter will carry that legacy, and upon hatching, the new baby critter will inherit the name. This system ensures that your chosen monikers persist through the critter life cycle.

The naming convention follows a logical progression:

• The initial naming allows for your personal choice.
• The first generation to hatch from an egg will receive a “Jr.” suffix.
• Subsequent generations will be assigned Roman numerals, such as III, IV, and so on, creating a lineage of named creatures.

The original type of the critter is still displayed discreetly as a subtitle, so you’ll always know which species “Sir Reginald Fluffernutter III” actually belongs to.

Enhance Your Critter Management

The Critter Rename mod offers a simple yet profound way to enhance your Oxygen Not Included experience. By allowing you to name and track your critters through generations, it adds a unique layer of immersion and organizational possibility to your base management.
