Roller Snakes Reborn

Explore New Frontiers with Roller Snakes Reborn

Prepare to expand your asteroid colonies with Roller Snakes Reborn, a comprehensive mod that introduces a wealth of new content to Oxygen Not Included. This extensive overhaul brings new life and challenges to your base-building experience, from exotic critters to unique biomes and resource-rich plants.

Introducing the Roller Snake

The star of this mod is the eponymous Roller Snake, a fascinating new critter that inhabits the newly added Desert biome. These unique creatures roll themselves into a loop to traverse their arid environment. The mod features two variants: the standard red Roller Snake and the tougher, blue-hued Tough Roller Snake, which is more likely to emerge when a Roller Snake consumes Obsidian.

Roller Snakes subsist on Sand and Raw Minerals, excreting Coal. While their coal production is less efficient than Hatches, they offer a significant advantage with their metal-rich rattles. These rattles can be harvested at a Shearing Station, providing a renewable source of metal. Standard Roller Snakes yield Gold Amalgam rattles and require Oxygen to regrow, while Tough Roller Snakes produce Steel rattles and need Carbon Dioxide.

Discover New Flora and Biomes

Roller Snakes Reborn doesn’t stop at critters. It also introduces two new plant species:

• Spiky Succulent: This heat-tolerant cactus produces both edible flesh and a valuable flower upon harvest. While requiring more water than Bristle Blossoms, its resilience makes it ideal for cultivation near Cool Steam Vents or Water Geysers.
• Aqua Bulb: A foragable plant that, when processed in a Rock Crusher, yields a one-time supply of Water, akin to other consumable resources found in the game.

The mod also introduces the **Desert biome**, a challenging yet rewarding environment found on the new **Tetrament asteroid**. This biome is rich in industrial resources like Iron Ore and Fossil, alongside the new Roller Snakes and plants.

Expanded World Generation

Roller Snakes Reborn offers new world generation options for both the base game and the Spaced Out DLC. The **Tetrament asteroid** provides a varied experience with multiple biomes. For Spaced Out players, the mod includes a “Classic” version of the Tetrament cluster and a new “Moonlet” cluster. This moonlet experience challenges players to survive the initial heat of the Desert biome before exploring other planetoids for additional resources and critters.
