Natural Backwall

Enhance Your Base with Natural Backwall

Tired of the same old drab interior walls in your Oxygen Not Included colonies? If you’re looking to add a touch of authentic, generated flair to your builds, the Natural Backwall mod is an essential addition. This modification allows you to construct backwall sections using any solid material available in the game, seamlessly blending your custom creations with the existing world generation.

Build with Any Solid Material

The true beauty of the Natural Backwall mod lies in its versatility. No longer are you restricted to the standard building materials. With this mod, you can choose from an extensive list of solid elements. Whether you want the rugged look of Granite, the earthy feel of Sandstone, the industrial gleam of refined metals, or even something as unconventional as Polluted Ice, the choice is entirely yours. This opens up a world of aesthetic possibilities for your underground environments.

Authenticity and Functionality

What sets this mod apart is its commitment to authenticity. Once constructed, these natural backwalls are virtually indistinguishable from those generated by the game itself. They perfectly replicate the per-element textures, the subtle background shading, and crucially, the dig behavior. This means your duplicants will interact with your custom backwalls just as they would with the naturally occurring ones – they can be dug out, adding another layer of realism and interaction to your base designs.

Simple Integration into Your Colony

Getting started with the Natural Backwall mod is straightforward. Once installed and enabled, you’ll find the new building option in the Base category of your build menu. Select it, choose your desired solid material, and designate an area adjacent to existing backwall space. After construction is complete, your chosen material will transform into a genuine, diggable backwall that looks and behaves like the real deal. This mod is compatible with the base game and all current DLC, and is safe to add to existing saves, making it an easy upgrade for any colony.
