Fan Tiles

Revolutionize Your Base with Fan Tiles in Oxygen Not Included

Are you looking to streamline your duplicant infrastructure and optimize resource management in Oxygen Not Included? Introducing Fan Tiles, a clever mod designed to enhance the way you handle liquids and gases within your burgeoning colonies. Forget the cumbersome network of conduits and embrace a more integrated, power-efficient approach to fluid and gas dynamics.

What are Fan Tiles?

Fan Tiles are a unique building addition that functions as both an intake and an exhaust point within a single tile. Imagine a compact device that can draw in gasses or liquids from one side and expel them from the other, all within the confines of a standard tile space. This innovative design offers a seamless way to transport vital resources around your base without the need for extensive pipe networks.

Key Features and Benefits

This mod introduces a range of advantages for dedicated Oxygen Not Included players:

• Integrated Pumping and Venting: Eliminate the need for separate pump and vent structures by utilizing the dual functionality of Fan Tiles.
• Power Efficiency: Significantly reduce your power consumption compared to traditional pumping and venting systems, freeing up precious energy for other critical base operations.
• Space Saving Design: The single-tile footprint allows for more compact and efficient base layouts, maximizing usable space.
• Reduced Plumbing Complexity: Simplify your base designs by minimizing the amount of liquid and gas piping required.

Understanding Tile Mechanics

It’s important to note that Fan Tiles have been updated to function more like solid tiles in terms of structural integrity. This means they can be subject to overpressure damage, similar to buildings like Heavi-Watt Join Plates or Farm Tiles. While this may present challenges for specific infinite storage setups in existing saves, the mod developer is actively exploring solutions to maintain the mod’s utility for all colony management needs.

The development of Fan Tiles is a collaborative effort, with original artwork provided by test447 and further enhancements and stylization by 3GuB|. For bug reports, suggestions, or discussions about the mod’s future, please refer to the official GitHub repository.
