Enhance Your Colony with the Plastic Door Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Tired of the limitations of standard doors in your Oxygen Not Included colonies? Introducing the Plastic Door mod, a transformative addition designed to streamline your Duplicant management and improve colony efficiency. This mod introduces a unique door with specialized properties that can significantly impact your base layout and operational flow.

Key Features of the Plastic Door

The Plastic Door mod brings several compelling features to the game, offering solutions to common challenges faced by players:

• Thermal Insulation: Unlike basic doors, the Plastic Door offers excellent thermal insulation, helping you maintain distinct temperature zones within your base. This is crucial for managing sensitive machinery and ensuring Duplicant comfort.
• Transparency: Enjoy an unobstructed view of your colony’s activity. The transparent nature of this door allows for easy monitoring of Duplicant movement and environmental conditions without the need to physically open the door.
• Instant Duplicant Passage: Duplicants can pass through the Plastic Door instantaneously. This greatly reduces transit time, allowing your Duplicants to move between areas more rapidly and boosting overall productivity.
• Air-Tight, Not Liquid-Tight: While the door effectively seals against gases, it will temporarily open when Duplicants pass through, allowing for momentary gas mixing. This makes it ideal for many internal colony applications where absolute liquid containment isn’t the primary concern.

Research and Construction

To incorporate the Plastic Door into your colony, you’ll need to research it under the “Home Luxuries” technology tree. Once unlocked, construction requires resources such as Plastics, Isoresin, or Insulation, making it an accessible upgrade for mid-to-late-game colonies.

Important Considerations

It’s important to note that the Plastic Door cannot be rotated or automated. Its primary benefits lie in its material properties and instant passage capabilities. The temporary opening for gas mixing, while beneficial for some scenarios, means it should not be relied upon for strict liquid containment or absolute atmospheric separation in critical areas. Always consult the mod’s changelog for the latest balance adjustments and behavioral updates.

The Plastic Door mod offers a valuable new tool for Oxygen Not Included players looking to optimize their colony’s infrastructure and Duplicant workflow. Its unique blend of insulation, transparency, and rapid passage makes it a worthy addition to any advanced base.
