Research Cost Multiplier

Master Your Duplicant Research with the Research Cost Multiplier Mod for Oxygen Not Included

Managing the intricate web of technological advancement is a cornerstone of survival in Oxygen Not Included. From unlocking essential plumbing to mastering advanced power generation, every research point earned is a step towards a more stable and prosperous asteroid. However, the standard research progression might not always align with your desired gameplay experience. Enter the Research Cost Multiplier mod, a powerful tool designed to put you firmly in control of your technological destiny.

Tailor Your Research Pace

This ingenious mod allows you to significantly alter the cost of all researchable technologies within Oxygen Not Included. Whether you crave a more challenging early game or wish to accelerate your progress through the tech tree, the Research Cost Multiplier provides the flexibility you need.

Imagine your duplicants struggling to make critical decisions about their next research breakthrough by cycle 100. With a simple adjustment to the multiplier, you can dramatically increase research costs, forcing strategic choices and making every unlocked technology feel like a hard-won victory. Conversely, if you find the pace of research too slow and wish to cruise through the early and mid-game hurdles, a lower multiplier can drastically reduce research times, allowing you to access advanced systems sooner.

Key Features and Customization

The Research Cost Multiplier mod offers several key benefits for aspiring asteroid administrators:

• Adjust the cost of all technologies to suit your gameplay style.
• Increase difficulty by making research more expensive and strategic.
• Speed up progression by reducing research costs.
• The default multiplier can be easily configured to your preferred starting point.
• Research costs are intelligently rounded, ensuring a minimum cost of 1 research point per item.

By default, this mod sets all technologies to be twice as expensive as in the base game. This provides a subtle but noticeable increase in challenge from the outset. For those who wish to fine-tune this default, the configuration file, typically found within your Oxygen Not Included mod directory (`KleiOxygenNotIncludedmodsSteamresearchCostMultiplierconfig.json`), allows for easy modification of the multiplier value. Embrace the power to sculpt your research journey and experience Oxygen Not Included in a way that perfectly matches your strategic vision.
