Planning Tool
Optimize Your Colony’s Design with the Planning Tool Mod for Oxygen Not Included
Before laying down a single tile or piping your first stream of oxygen, wouldn’t it be great to visualize your dream base? The Planning Tool mod for Oxygen Not Included empowers you to do just that, offering a robust system for designing, experimenting, and refining your colony’s layout before committing precious resources.
Visualize and Iterate
This intuitive mod introduces a dedicated planning tool directly into your game. With convenient hotkeys, you can quickly sketch out future expansions, entire base sections, or even test out entirely new layouts without the pressure of immediate construction. This allows for a more strategic and efficient approach to base building, minimizing the need for costly demolition and rebuilding.
Advanced Design Capabilities
The Planning Tool isn’t just for drawing simple outlines. It offers a suite of powerful features to streamline your design process:
- Copy and Paste Designs: Duplicate sections of your plans to efficiently replicate successful layouts or create symmetrical structures.
- Rotate and Flip: Easily orient your copied designs to fit perfectly within your intended space.
- Adjustable Visibility: Make your plans semi-transparent to see how they interact with existing structures, or toggle them off entirely when not needed.
- Export and Import: Save your carefully crafted plans to your system clipboard, allowing you to easily transfer them between different game saves or build a personal library of reusable base designs.
Customization at Your Fingertips
Tailor the Planning Tool to your preferred playstyle with extensive customization options. The mod adds a dedicated section in the game’s settings where you can rebind hotkeys, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with your existing control scheme. Special hotkeys are available that only activate when the planning tool is selected, preventing conflicts with other game functions.
Seamless Integration
Designed to work flawlessly with both the base game and the Spaced Out! expansion, the Planning Tool mod can also enhance your experience when paired with other complementary mods. Its developer actively encourages feedback and bug reporting, ensuring ongoing support and compatibility.
