Insulate Storage Bin
Master Your Duplicant Colony’s Thermal Stability with Insulate Storage Bins
As your duplicant colony grows and expands into the late game of Oxygen Not Included, managing heat transfer becomes an increasingly complex challenge. Introducing the Insulate Storage Bin mod, a thoughtful addition designed to give you a powerful new tool for thermal control and resource management.
Streamline Your Base and Reduce Computational Load
The core function of the Insulate Storage Bin mod is to prevent stored items from exchanging heat with their surroundings and emitting unwanted gases. This ingenious feature significantly reduces the game’s computational load, a welcome relief in expansive late-game bases teeming with numerous storage containers. By isolating the thermal properties of the materials within, this mod helps maintain a more stable environment and allows your system to run more efficiently.
Key Features for Enhanced Gameplay
This mod offers a suite of customizable options to perfectly integrate into your playstyle:
- Sealed and Insulated Storage: Choose whether to enable the sealing function, ensuring stored goods remain completely isolated.
- Adjustable Storage Capacity: Customize the storage capacity from a modest 1 ton up to a massive 1000 tons, accommodating even the largest stockpiles. The default capacity is set at a substantial 200 tons.
- Balanced Construction Costs: Build these essential bins using 400kg of refined metal and 200kg of Insulite. The use of Insulite itself can also be toggled on or off in the mod’s settings for further customization.
Considerations for Implementation
To align with the mod’s insulation theme and ensure late-game balance, construction requires Insulite. However, an intuitive options menu, powered by PLib, allows players to fine-tune various aspects, including the disabling of Insulite requirements if desired. Developers are actively working on future updates, including custom building icons and language localization, to further enhance the mod’s integration and usability.
Please be aware that disabling this mod will remove stored items from the Insulate Storage Bins. It is strongly recommended to empty these bins before disabling the mod to prevent any data loss. If issues arise, reloading a save file with the mod re-enabled can often resolve the problem.
