Maximize Duplicant Potential with Endless Science in Oxygen Not Included

Even after the last research project has been completed and the technological frontier pushed as far as it can go in your Oxygen Not Included colony, your Duplicants’ scientific aptitude doesn’t have to stagnate. The Endless Science mod introduces a revolutionary way to continuously develop your Duplicants’ crucial Science attribute, ensuring they remain valuable assets long after the initial research tree is depleted.

Beyond the Research Bin

The core of the Endless Science mod lies in its ability to repurpose your existing advanced research facilities. No longer will your Research Stations, Super Computers, and Planetariums sit idle once all available technologies have been unlocked. This mod empowers you to activate an “Endless Mode” for these buildings, allowing your Duplicants to dedicate their time to further honing their scientific skills. Simply select the building, locate the new toggle in the bottom right corner, and activate Endless Mode to let the training commence.

Structured Skill Progression

Endless Science isn’t just about endless repetition; it’s about structured growth. The mod, by default, encourages a logical progression of Duplicant training based on their current Science attribute level, ensuring optimal development and engagement:

• For Duplicants with a Science attribute ranging from 0 to 6, the standard Research Station will be the primary training ground.
• As their skills advance to levels 7 through 13, they will transition to the more sophisticated Super Computer for further development.
• Finally, Duplicants reaching the pinnacle of their foundational scientific training, from levels 14 to 19, will benefit most from the advanced capabilities of the Planetarium.

Configurable and Adaptable

While the default settings provide a balanced approach, Endless Science is fully configurable. This allows seasoned colony managers to fine-tune the experience to perfectly match their strategic objectives and individual colony needs. Whether you wish to accelerate certain skill sets or rebalance the training requirements, the mod offers the flexibility to adapt.

By keeping your Duplicants’ Science attribute climbing, you not only enhance their individual effectiveness but also unlock greater potential for complex construction, advanced automation, and overall colony efficiency. Embrace the opportunity to push your Duplicants’ capabilities to their absolute limit with Endless Science.
