Grip Now Included: Prevent Lost Items in Oxygen Not Included

Navigating the complex environments of Oxygen Not Included can be challenging, and a common frustration for players is the unintended dropping of items by Duplicants and Rovers. This often occurs during game loads or when Duplicants are interrupted, leading to items falling in inconvenient or inaccessible locations, especially when traversing ladders, fire poles, or transit tubes. The “Grip Now Included” mod offers a robust solution to this persistent issue, ensuring your colony’s valuable resources stay firmly in hand.

Keeping Items Secure

The core functionality of “Grip Now Included” is elegantly simple yet highly effective. Instead of dropping an item when interrupted or during a game load, Duplicants and Rovers will now securely hold onto it. They will only release the item once they are safely positioned above solid ground. This prevents those perilous long drops and the subsequent hassle of retrieving lost items from hard-to-reach areas.

Key Features and Enhancements

This mod goes beyond basic item retention to offer a polished and integrated experience:

• Prevents Duplicants and Rovers from dropping items upon game load.
• Ensures items are held when Duplicants or Rovers are not over solid ground.
• Items are only dropped once the Dupe or Rover is back on solid footing.
• Held items are internally isolated to prevent inventory conflicts and potential game crashes.
• Dropped items are precisely placed in the center of a cell to avoid clipping into walls.
• Items will not be dropped inside doors, even if solid ground exists beneath them.
• Configurable options allow for automatic wrangle tasks for dropped critters and sweep tasks for dropped items.

Resolved Issues and Improved Gameplay

The “Grip Now Included” mod addresses a common pain point by ensuring a more stable and less disruptive gameplay experience. No longer will you need to worry about valuable items disappearing into the abyss or becoming irretrievable due to a Duplicant’s brief interruption. This mod is a thoughtful improvement, meticulously designed to enhance the quality of life for all Oxygen Not Included players.
