Drains

Streamline Your Colony with the Drains Mod

Managing liquids and byproducts in Oxygen Not Included can be a messy affair. From managing the output of generators to keeping your algae farms tidy, every drop counts. Introducing the Drains mod, a simple yet incredibly effective addition designed to give you more control over your colony’s fluid dynamics. This mod adds a new building to your repertoire, seamlessly integrating into the existing Plumbing tab.

Effortless Liquid Management

The core of the Drains mod lies in its versatile “Drain” building. Constructed with a modest amount of metal, this unassuming structure acts as an automated passive pump. It efficiently draws liquids from its immediate vicinity and injects them into your established plumbing network at a consistent rate. This makes it perfect for tackling those minor liquid leaks or outflows that can accumulate over time, such as the small amounts of liquid produced by your Natural Gas Generator. No longer will you need complex manual interventions for these minor fluid challenges.

Enhanced Functionality and Options

The Drains mod goes beyond a simple liquid collector. It offers an optional configuration that dramatically alters its behavior. By enabling the “Use Solid Drain” setting, the Drain building transforms. Instead of acting like an open grate, it functions more like a wall-mounted pump, allowing for more targeted and contained liquid extraction. This feature is particularly useful for scenarios where you need to precisely remove liquids from specific enclosed areas or prevent unwanted fluid mixing.

Key Features of the Drains Mod:

• Adds a new, craftable Drain building to the Plumbing tab.
• Passively pumps liquids into your plumbing system at a reliable rate.
• Ideal for managing small liquid byproducts from various buildings.
• Offers an optional “Solid Drain” mode for more contained pumping.
• Helps in cleaning up and automating processes like Algae Terrarium management.

The Drains mod provides a practical solution for common liquid management challenges within Oxygen Not Included. Its ease of use and adaptable functionality make it a valuable addition for any duplicant striving for peak efficiency and a cleaner, more organized base.
