Filterable Auto-Compost

Streamline Your Oxygen Not Included Colonies with Filterable Auto-Compost

Managing the endless stream of organic waste in Oxygen Not Included can quickly become a tedious chore. Duplicants constantly need to be directed to manually compost items, diverting their attention from more critical tasks. The Filterable Auto-Compost mod injects a much-needed layer of automation and control into your composting workflow, allowing you to focus on building a thriving base rather than managing refuse.

Effortless Organic Management

This mod introduces an intuitive filtering system directly to your Compost structures. No longer will you need to manually assign every single organic item for composting. With Filterable Auto-Compost, you can simply check the boxes for the specific items you wish to be automatically processed. Imagine effortlessly directing all those excess Lily Flowers into the compost bin without a second thought. Your Duplicants will automatically fetch and deposit designated items, freeing them up for essential construction, research, or gas management.

Customizable Compost Control

Beyond simple automation, the mod offers granular control over what enters your compost. If you have specific uses for certain organic byproducts, such as keeping Polluted Dirt for your critters, you can easily uncheck them from the composting list. This ensures that only the items you *want* composted end up in the bin, preventing the loss of valuable resources.

It’s important to note how the game handles composting requests. Items you manually click to compost are treated distinctly from items designated through the mod’s filters. This can lead to items appearing in two places within the filter menu: their standard location and a “Compostable” category. To prevent confusion and ensure a streamlined experience, the “Compostable” category is locked and cannot be unchecked through the mod’s interface.

Enhanced User Experience Options

For those who prefer a cleaner interface or different organizational methods, Filterable Auto-Compost provides several optional enhancements that can be enabled in the mod’s settings:

* **”Non-Standard” Display:** Reorganizes the “Compostable” category to appear at the bottom of filter lists, similar to how Eggs are handled in other storage structures.
* **Hide “Compostable” Category:** Removes the “Compostable” category entirely from the filter menu, simplifying the interface. This option also prevents items designated for composting from being stored in other storage containers.
* **Hide from Resource Screen:** Removes the “Compostable” category from the game’s main Resource screen, further decluttering your view.

By integrating Filterable Auto-Compost into your Oxygen Not Included experience, you can significantly reduce micro-management, optimize Duplicant time, and gain precise control over your colony’s organic waste processing.
