DensityOverlay

Master Your Colony’s Mass with the Density Overlay Mod

Navigating the intricate world of Oxygen Not Included can be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding the distribution of mass within your base. While the game provides individual tile mass information on hover, grasping the overall picture of density across an entire room, ventilation network, or farm can be a significant hurdle. This is where the Density Overlay mod steps in, offering a powerful visual tool to help you manage your duplicants’ environment with unprecedented clarity.

Visualize Your Asteroid’s Density

The core functionality of the Density Overlay mod is a heatmap that transforms your asteroid map into a color-coded representation of mass. Instead of scrutinizing individual tiles, you’re presented with a sweeping gradient, typically ranging from cool blues for lighter elements like gases to intense reds for densely packed solids and liquids. This immediate visual feedback allows you to instantly identify critical areas, such as elusive low-pressure gas pockets, unwanted vacuum gaps, potentially hazardous over-pressurized rooms, and the precise boundaries between different gas and liquid layers.

Key Features for Enhanced Management

The Density Overlay mod isn’t just a simple color change; it’s a sophisticated tool designed for detailed analysis and fine-tuning:

• A dynamic blue-to-red density heatmap provides an intuitive visual scale across your entire colony.
• Tunable range controls allow you to precisely focus the gradient on specific density values, catering to everything from trace gases to heavy liquids.
• A logarithmic scale ensures that both low-density gases and high-density liquids are manageable within the same view, eliminating the need for constant slider adjustments.
• Choose between a smooth, continuous gradient or stepped, contour-like iso-density lines, offering different perspectives for pressure analysis.
• A live legend displays the exact density range in real-time game units (grams, kilograms, or tonnes) and updates dynamically as you adjust settings.

Seamless Integration and Usage

Implementing the Density Overlay mod into your Oxygen Not Included experience is straightforward. Once installed, you can access it through the game’s overlay menu. A dedicated legend provides intuitive sliders to customize the density range, allowing the map to instantly update and reflect your chosen settings. Furthermore, the mod is designed to be save-safe, functioning purely as a visual enhancement without altering any game mechanics. This means you can add or remove it at any time without consequence, and it has no external dependencies, ensuring smooth compatibility with your existing mods. Take control of your colony’s atmosphere and material distribution like never before with this essential visual upgrade.
