Mastering the Compact: Introducing the MiniBase Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Are you yearning for a fresh perspective on asteroid survival in Oxygen Not Included? Do familiar challenges feel a bit too… spacious? The MiniBase mod introduces a compelling new way to play by presenting you with a dramatically scaled-down asteroid, forcing you to rethink your resource management and expansion strategies from the ground up. This mod isn’t just about a smaller map; it’s about a fundamentally different approach to thriving in the harsh environment of space.

Tailor Your Tight Squeeze

The true genius of MiniBase lies in its extensive customization options. Before embarking on your new, confined adventure, you can precisely craft the asteroid to your liking. This allows for unparalleled replayability and ensures that each new game offers a unique set of challenges.

Key features and customization options include:

• Geyser and Vent Configuration: Choose from three distinct geysers, vents, or volcanoes, or opt for randomized selections or a complete absence of these vital resources.
• Biome Selection: Dictate the primary environment of your asteroid, influencing available resources and the overall atmosphere of your base. An auxiliary biome can also be added for a touch more variety.
• Space Access: Decide whether to allow limited access to the vacuum of space, opening up possibilities for advanced resource gathering and rocketry endeavors.
• Map Size: Scale your asteroid from a minuscule 20×20 grid to a still-cozy 100×100, finding the perfect level of spatial constraint for your desired difficulty.
• Care Package Frequency: Adjust how often valuable care packages arrive, providing an extra layer of control over early-game resource influx.

A New Kind of Challenge

MiniBase forces you to be exceptionally efficient. With limited space, every building placement, every resource extraction, and every expansion decision carries significant weight. You’ll need to master advanced logistics and carefully plan your infrastructure to avoid being overwhelmed by your own creations. The mod also includes a revealed map at startup and tweaks to the printing pod, offering more items and a duplicant per package, with some unique additions not typically found in the base game.

Prepare to think differently, plan meticulously, and truly embrace the spirit of compact colonization with the MiniBase mod for Oxygen Not Included.
