Customisable Plug Slugs

Mastering the Plug Slug: A Customizable Approach in Oxygen Not Included

The humble Plug Slug in Oxygen Not Included presents a unique challenge for duplicants. Traditionally, these creatures have been viewed with a mix of caution and necessity, often leading to their demise to protect valuable resources. However, this innovative mod transforms the Plug Slug from a potential threat into a customizable asset, allowing players to fine-tune their integration into any base.

Rethinking Plug Slug Husbandry

For many players, the instinct has been to eliminate Plug Slugs, fearing their consumption of precious, non-renewable resources like cobalt ore. Others might resort to a slow starvation, siphoning meager power before their usefulness wanes. This mod offers a groundbreaking alternative: the ability to dictate the Plug Slug’s diet.

Tailored Diets and Resource Management

With the Customisable Plug Slugs mod, you gain unprecedented control over what these creatures consume and how they contribute to your colony. Gone are the days of arbitrary resource depletion. Now, you can curate a specific diet for your Plug Slug population, choosing from a variety of materials including:

• Ores
• Rocks
• Refined Metals
• Sulfur
• Clay
• Ices

Optimizing Power and Byproducts

Beyond just diet selection, the mod allows for intricate adjustments to the Plug Slug’s metabolism. You can precisely control how much they eat, influencing their output. Crucially, you can now configure the amount of hydrogen gas they produce as a byproduct. This opens up new avenues for hydrogen management and utilization within your base. Furthermore, players can fine-tune the wattage these creatures generate, ensuring they contribute effectively to your colony’s power grid without compromising your resource stockpiles. This level of customization empowers players to build more sustainable and efficient oxygen-generating systems, turning a previously problematic creature into a valuable tool for survival.
