Rocketry Companion
Streamline Your Space Program with Rocketry Companion
For aspiring space explorers in Oxygen Not Included, managing a burgeoning rocketry program can be a complex undertaking. The Rocketry Companion mod aims to simplify and enhance this crucial aspect of your asteroid base, bundling several powerful enhancements and introducing entirely new structures to facilitate faster, more efficient space exploration. This comprehensive mod consolidates previous rocketry-focused creations, refining their functionality and offering a more cohesive experience for players looking to advance their interstellar ambitions.
New Possibilities for Rocket Interiors
Beyond the consolidated features, Rocketry Companion introduces four innovative buildings designed exclusively for your rocket’s habitat modules, offering unparalleled flexibility in interior design and resource management:
* **Cargo Terminal:** This compact 1×1 building acts as a versatile storage solution. It allows you to request precise quantities of almost any item in the game. Non-perishable goods are kept safe from external temperature fluctuations, while the integrated sterilizer, when supplied with bleach stone, uranium ore, or enriched uranium, eliminates germs and ensures perishable items remain sterile. Furthermore, a built-in freezer, when powered, cools contents to a frigid -24°C, effectively preventing spoilage and keeping your carefully curated provisions fresh for extended voyages.
* **High Pressure Oxygen Reservoir:** A 1×2 module that, when powered, can store up to 500kg of oxygen. Crucially, it does not require power to dispense its stored oxygen, making it a reliable source for maintaining breathable atmosphere during missions.
* **Air Filtration System:** This 1×1 unit diligently circulates your rocket’s atmosphere, scrubbing out common unbreathable or irritating gases. It requires refined carbon and lime to operate and will need manual cleaning by your dupes when its storage becomes full.
* **Micro Electrolyze System:** This 1×2 building can hold up to 3,600kg of water. When powered, it efficiently produces oxygen and hydrogen, dispensing them through separate gas pipes. The heat generated during electrolysis is transferred from the oxygen to the hydrogen, resulting in a cooler output of 22°C oxygen and a significantly hotter 228°C hydrogen. Careful placement and management are advised to prevent overheating within your rocket’s interior.
Key Features and Enhancements
Rocketry Companion offers a suite of improvements designed to boost your rocketry operations:
* Four novel habitat module life support buildings for advanced interior customization.
* Modular launchpad ports that enable seamless material transfer with fuel and oxidizer tanks, as well as habitat modules.
* Integrated power ports on the launchpad, allowing for the connection of your rocket’s power grid to your ground-based power infrastructure.
* A revitalized “Sugar Engine” with updated mechanics.
* Walkable gantry members on the launchpad’s background tower for easier dupe access.
* Adjustments to the “Berry Sludge” for a more balanced experience.
With a vast array of configurable options, players can tailor the mod’s features to their specific gameplay preferences. This mod represents a significant step forward for those seeking to conquer the final frontier of Oxygen Not Included.
