Insulated Door
Master Thermal Management with the Insulated Door Mod for Oxygen Not Included
Tired of heat creep sabotaging your carefully regulated environments? The Insulated Door mod introduces essential new building options to your Oxygen Not Included colony, allowing for superior thermal isolation and more efficient base management. This mod provides players with a specialized door designed to significantly reduce heat transfer, a crucial element for maintaining stable temperatures in sensitive areas.
Introducing Enhanced Insulation
This mod brings two distinct versions of the Insulated Door to the game, offering flexibility for different needs and aesthetics. Both the standard and a charming “Tiny” version are crafted to mimic the thermal properties of the coveted Insulated Tile, ensuring that heat exchange through these doorways is minimized. Whether you’re sealing off your research labs, protecting your precious farms from extreme temperatures, or segmenting different biome areas, these doors are indispensable tools for advanced colony design.
Key Features and Benefits
The Insulated Door mod offers several compelling advantages for any discerning duplicant manager:
* **Superior Thermal Conductivity:** Designed with thermal isolation in mind, these doors drastically reduce heat transfer compared to standard doors.
* **Two Size Options:** Choose between a full-sized door and a compact “Tiny” version, allowing for precise placement and aesthetic customization. The Tiny version also offers a more resource-efficient option.
* **Strategic Tech Tree Integration:** The Insulated Manual Airlock can be researched within the “Temperature Modulation” tech tree, while the Mechanized version finds its place under “HVAC,” ensuring logical progression as your colony advances.
* **Reskinned Aesthetics:** The mod includes updated color schemes for a fresh visual appeal that complements your base designs.
Resource Management and Power
Crafting these essential doors requires specific resources. The standard Manual Airlock utilizes 800kg of Raw Minerals and 200kg of Metal, while the Mechanized door requires 800kg of Raw Minerals and 200kg of Refined Metal. The Tiny versions conveniently halve these material costs. Power consumption is also carefully balanced, with the standard door drawing 180W and the Tiny version requiring 90W when active. This careful balancing ensures that while providing significant thermal benefits, the doors remain a practical addition to your colony’s infrastructure.
