Streamline Your Colony’s Power Consumption in Oxygen Not Included

Tired of your advanced colony’s energy demands overwhelming your power grid? This mod offers a practical solution for managing power consumption, making late-game development, especially space exploration, significantly more manageable. By reducing the power draw of many essential machines, you can achieve a more sustainable and efficient duplicate workforce.

Key Power Reductions

This modification targets a variety of buildings that are crucial for automation and resource management, slashing their power requirements to a mere 1 watt in most cases. This drastic reduction allows for a much more relaxed approach to power generation, especially when scaling up your operations.

Impact on Your Colony’s Infrastructure

Imagine automating complex tasks with minimal energy cost. This mod makes that a reality by significantly lowering the power needs of critical infrastructure.

  • Robo Miners now consume only 1W, allowing for widespread automated excavation without a massive power drain.
  • Auto Sweepers, the backbone of any automated system, operate at a lean 1W.
  • Conveyor Loaders, essential for material transport, also require just 1W.
  • Bunker Doors, vital for environmental control, are now incredibly energy efficient at 1W.
  • Egg Incubators see an even more dramatic reduction, drawing a minuscule 0.01W.
  • Gantries, crucial for building and access, function on a mere 1W.
  • Glass Forges, important for advanced materials, are reduced to 1W operation.
  • Sun Lamps, essential for certain farming operations, now only need 1W.

Considerations for Certain Buildings

While many machines benefit from this power reduction, some high-demand structures maintain their original, higher power requirements. This ensures a balanced gameplay experience, where certain advanced technologies still necessitate dedicated power solutions. For instance, the Liquid Conditioner, a vital component for managing liquid temperatures, retains its 240W power draw.

By implementing these power optimizations, players can focus more on strategic expansion and technological advancement, rather than constantly battling the limitations of their power grids. This mod provides a significant boost to late-game sustainability, enabling grander designs and more ambitious colony projects.
