Critter Rename

Personalize Your Colony: Introducing the Critter Rename Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Tired of the same old critter names in your Oxygen Not Included colonies? Want to add a touch of personality and organization to your ever-expanding menagerie? Look no further than the Critter Rename mod, a lovingly updated version of a fan-favorite that allows you to bestow unique names upon your duplicants’ most prolific (and sometimes problematic) companions.

Bring Individuality to Your Creatures

This mod empowers you to name any creature within your asteroid base, whether they’re happily domesticated or still running wild. Imagine a world where your Gulp Fish aren’t just Gulp Fish, but “Finley the Fin-tastic” or your Hatches aren’t just Hatches, but “Shellington III, the Egg-cellent.” The Critter Rename mod makes this a reality, adding a layer of personal connection to the creatures that share your duplicants’ subterranean lives.

A Legacy of Names: Generations and Beyond

One of the most delightful features of this mod is its understanding of lineage. When you name a critter, that name is preserved and passed down through its offspring. An egg laid by your newly christened “Blinky” will carry the potential to hatch into “Blinky Jr.” The naming convention evolves intelligently, with subsequent generations automatically appended with Roman numerals, creating a charming generational naming system. Witnessing “Blinky IV” hatch and carry on the legacy of “Blinky” is a small, yet deeply satisfying, victory in the challenging world of asteroid survival.

Key Features at a Glance

• Allows renaming of any creature in Oxygen Not Included.
• Names are inherited by eggs and passed to newly hatched critters.
• Automatic generation naming: “Jr.” for the second generation, Roman numerals for subsequent generations.
• Adds a unique layer of personalization and organization to your critter population.
• Enhances the role-playing aspect of managing your colony’s diverse inhabitants.

While the mod is robust, a couple of minor quirks have been noted. Tooltips might display generic naming prompts, and newly hatched critters might briefly appear unnamed until re-selected. These are minor inconveniences that do not detract from the overall enjoyment and utility of bringing personalized names to your Oxygen Not Included critters.
