Raincheck (Printing Pod Time Refund)
Raincheck: Reclaim Your Printing Pod Choices in Oxygen Not Included
We’ve all been there. Staring at the Printing Pod, presented with a selection of duplicants or items that are less than ideal, but taking one anyway out of a sense of obligation or a fear of wasting a valuable opportunity. The frustration of a poorly chosen duplicant or an unhelpful item can set your colony back. Fortunately, the Raincheck mod for Oxygen Not Included offers a solution, allowing you to gracefully decline unwanted selections and get back to building a thriving base.
No More Regrettable Selections
Raincheck introduces a simple yet powerful mechanic: the ability to reject the current offering from your Printing Pod without severe penalty. Instead of being stuck with a duplicant who has a detrimental trait or items that don’t fit your immediate needs, you can now make a choice you feel good about. By activating the raincheck, you essentially send back the current batch, and the Printing Pod will reset its cycle. This means you don’t have to feel pressured into accepting suboptimal options, allowing for more strategic and satisfying choices for your burgeoning duplicant population.
Faster Future Pod Cycles
The benefit of using Raincheck extends beyond simply avoiding a bad choice. When you opt to take a raincheck, the Printing Pod’s recharge timer for the next selection is significantly reduced. This allows for more frequent opportunities to acquire duplicants or items that better suit your colony’s current progression and challenges. The mod comes with a default refund of approximately two-thirds of the waiting time, ensuring that you don’t have to wait a full cycle to get another chance.
Customization and Control
Raincheck offers a degree of customization to fine-tune the experience to your playstyle. For those who prefer to tinker with game files, the refund amount can be adjusted through a configuration file located within the mod’s directory. This allows you to dictate precisely how much time is refunded, offering greater control over the pace of your duplicant acquisition. Additionally, for a more user-friendly approach, the mod provides a configuration dialogue accessible directly from the mod menu within Oxygen Not Included, making adjustments simple and intuitive.
