Decor Lights
Illuminate Your Colony with Decor Lights
Elevate the aesthetics and morale of your duplicants with the Decor Lights mod for Oxygen Not Included. This mod introduces a variety of new lighting options, allowing you to transform your cramped underground bases into vibrant, well-lit habitats. Beyond mere illumination, these new light sources contribute significantly to the decor value of your surroundings, which directly impacts your duplicants’ stress levels and overall happiness.
Introducing New Lighting Fixtures
The Decor Lights mod expands your building options with four distinct new lamp types, each offering unique visual appeal and functional benefits:
- Salt Lamp: A unique decorative light that adds a warm glow.
- Lava Lamp: A mesmerizing lamp with a distinctive bubbling effect.
- Ceiling Lamp: A practical and versatile lighting solution for any room.
- Luminiferous Sphere: An ethereal orb that casts a gentle, ambient light.
Building and Requirements
Integrating these new light sources into your base is straightforward. They are categorized under the ‘Furniture’ building tab, making them easily accessible once unlocked. To construct any of the new lamps, your duplicants will need to have mastered ‘Glass Blowing’ through research. The construction itself requires 50 units of ‘Transparent’ material, which can be either Diamond or Glass, ensuring these decorative elements fit within your existing resource management strategies.
Functional Benefits and Decor
Each lamp provides a boost to the decor value within a specific radius, helping to combat the often dreary underground environments of Oxygen Not Included. The Ceiling Lamp and Luminiferous Sphere offer a solid +10 decor bonus in a 4-tile radius, while the more elaborate Salt Lamp and Lava Lamp provide an even greater +25 decor bonus within the same radius. Power consumption varies, with the Lava and Salt Lamps drawing 4W and the Ceiling Lamp and Luminiferous Sphere requiring only 2W. Heat production is also a consideration, with the Lava and Salt Lamps generating 300 DTU/s, and the Ceiling Lamp and Luminiferous Sphere producing 250 DTU/s. Strategically placing these lights can significantly improve your colony’s living conditions and boost overall productivity.
