Banish Those Nasty Germs with Germicidal UV Lamps in Oxygen Not Included

Tired of microscopic invaders wreaking havoc on your carefully cultivated oxygen farms and sickening your duplicating workforce? Introducing the Germicidal UV Lamps mod for Oxygen Not Included, a powerful new tool to combat the ever-present threat of germs. This mod introduces potent ultraviolet lighting solutions designed to sterilize your environment and keep your duplicants healthy and happy.

The Power of UVC Light

At the heart of this mod is the imposing Germicidal UV Lamp. This heavy-duty fixture, requiring significant metal and ceramic to construct and consuming 1 kW of power, unleashes a potent UVC light capable of destroying germs within a three-tile radius, provided there’s a clear line of sight. Every second, this lamp efficiently eradicates approximately 60% of germs in affected cells, whether they reside in gas, liquid, within buildings, or even on shipping rails. A word of caution: while incredibly effective, prolonged exposure to the lamp’s intense UVC output can be harmful to your duplicants, so strategic placement and automation are key. Consider using germ sensors to activate the lamp only when necessary, optimizing power consumption.

Convenient Germ Control

For less intensive germicidal needs, the mod also offers the Germicidal Ceiling Light. This smaller, more energy-efficient option consumes only 50W and requires less building material. While its germ-killing rate is a more modest 10% per tick, it lacks the harmful effects on duplicants, making it an ideal solution for high-traffic areas like airlocks, bathrooms, and medical bays. This allows for continuous, low-level sterilization without compromising your duplicants’ well-being.

Naturally Occurring Sterilization

Adding a unique twist to germ control, the mod also imbues certain native fauna with germicidal properties. Both the Sun Bug and the Royal Bug now emit UVC light. The Royal Bug boasts a wider radius and stronger germicidal power than its Sun Bug counterpart, offering a natural, passive method of environmental sterilization.

Key Features of the Germicidal UV Lamps Mod:

  • Powerful Germicidal UV Lamp for rapid germ elimination.
  • Energy-efficient Germicidal Ceiling Light for continuous low-level sterilization.
  • Germ-destroying UVC light integrated into Sun Bugs and Royal Bugs.
  • Line-of-sight based germicidal effects.
  • Configurable settings available via the mods menu.

Take control of your colony’s health and hygiene with these innovative germ-fighting additions. Keep those germs at bay and ensure your duplicants thrive!
