Destructible Features (Geysers & Volcanoes)

Demolish With Purpose: Conquer Unwanted Geysers and Volcanoes

Struggling with stubborn geysers or inconveniently placed volcanoes blocking your ambitious construction projects in Oxygen Not Included? This mod offers a balanced and customizable solution to clear these geological obstructions, allowing you to reshape your asteroid with unprecedented freedom.

Take Control of Your Environment

Sometimes, the very features that make your asteroid unique can become significant impediments to progress. Whether a scalding volcano is directly in the path of your planned aquatuner setup or a noxious gas geyser is preventing expansion into a crucial area, this mod empowers you to remove them. No longer are you forced to build around these natural formations; now you can strategically dismantle them, opening up vast new possibilities for your colony’s growth and efficiency.

Key Features for Strategic Removal

This mod introduces a thoughtful approach to geyser and volcano demolition, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into the game’s mechanics:

• Skill-Based Excavation: Your Duplicants will need to possess the “Super Duper Hard Digging” skill to even attempt the removal of these powerful geological features.
• Research Prerequisite: The option to destroy a geyser or volcano only becomes available after it has been studied by your Duplicants, adding a layer of strategic planning.
• Balanced Workflow: The time required for studying and then destroying these features is carefully balanced, providing a fair yet accessible method for removal.
• Universal Application: This mod affects all existing geysers and volcanoes from the moment it’s installed. There’s no need to start a new colony to benefit from its features.
• Skill-Tied Speed: The speed at which a geyser or volcano is destroyed directly scales with the Duplicant’s excavation skill, rewarding specialized labor.
• Experience Gain: Your Duplicants will gain valuable experience points for their efforts in studying and destroying these features, contributing to their development.

Customizable Destruction

Fine-tune the mod to perfectly suit your colony’s needs through an easy-to-edit configuration file. Adjust parameters such as the analysis and deconstruction times, and even decide whether the underlying neutronium block should be removed or replaced with obsidian, offering ultimate control over the aftermath of destruction.
