Unleash Your Inner Artist in Oxygen Not Included

Tired of the same old decorative elements cluttering your duplicant colonies? Want to inject a personal touch into the sterile environments of your underground bases? With the “Customize Your Paints” mod for Oxygen Not Included, you can transform bland canvases into unique masterpieces, showcasing your creativity and making your asteroid truly your own.

Personalize Your Duplicant Habitations

This innovative mod empowers you to replace the default painting textures with your own custom images. Imagine adorning your mess hall with family photos, your research labs with diagrams, or even your bedrooms with your favorite pixel art. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination and your image library.

How to Bring Your Art to Life

Getting your custom art into the game is a straightforward process designed for ease of use.

Key Features and Implementation:

• Custom Image Integration: Replace default painting textures with your personal image files.
• Flexible Formatting: The mod supports various image aspect ratios, including portrait, landscape, and square, ensuring your images display correctly without unwanted stretching.
• Intuitive File Naming: Organize your custom art with a clear naming convention that directly translates to in-game display.
• Dedicated Configuration Folder: Easily manage your image files within a specific mod directory.

To add your own artwork, simply place PNG files into the `configCustomizeYourPaints` directory, typically found within your Oxygen Not Included mods folder. The naming convention is crucial for the mod to recognize your images: `{type_of_painting}_{name_of_your_paint}.png`. The `type_of_painting` can be `normal`, `wide`, or `tall`, corresponding to the size of the canvas you wish to customize. The `name_of_your_paint` is how your creation will be identified in-game. After placing your files, a simple restart of Oxygen Not Included will load your personalized art.

Recommended Dimensions for Optimal Display

While the mod can handle various image sizes, adhering to recommended dimensions will ensure the best visual results. For standard paintings, aim for approximately 120×136 pixels. Tall paintings benefit from dimensions around 130×215 pixels, and wide paintings look best with dimensions near 210×130 pixels. You can use larger images as long as they maintain these aspect ratios.

By adding your own visual flair to the game’s decorative elements, the “Customize Your Paints” mod offers a deeply personal and engaging way to enhance your Oxygen Not Included experience.
