Sharing Is Caring: Revolutionize Duplicant Management

Optimize Your Colony’s Living Spaces

Tired of juggling staggered sleep schedules and perfectly allocating precious real estate for individual Duplicant beds? The “Sharing Is Caring” mod for Oxygen Not Included introduces a game-changing mechanic that allows your Duplicants to share essential facilities, leading to more efficient colony management and reduced building clutter.

How Sharing Is Caring Works

At its core, this mod intelligently unassigns beds and mess tables once a Duplicant has finished using them. This means a single bed can now accommodate multiple Duplicants throughout a cycle, provided their schedules are staggered. Imagine the space you’ll save and the reduced construction costs when you no longer need a dedicated bed for every single Duplicant!

Key Features and Benefits

  • Shared Beds: A single bed can be utilized by multiple Duplicants with staggered sleep times, dramatically increasing space efficiency.
  • Shared Mess Tables: Duplicants will automatically unassign from mess tables after they’ve finished eating, allowing others to use them immediately.
  • Configurable Options: Tailor the mod to your colony’s specific needs with an in-game options menu. You can choose to enable sharing for beds, mess tables, or both.
  • Vanilla and Spaced Out Compatibility: This mod seamlessly integrates with both the base game and the Spaced Out! expansion, ensuring broad usability.

Understanding Limitations

While “Sharing Is Caring” offers significant advantages, it’s important to be aware of its current limitations. The mod works by unassigning facilities the moment a Duplicant finishes with them. However, the game’s auto-assignment systems can occasionally re-assign beds very quickly. Additionally, a known issue exists where Duplicants assigned to medical cots may continuously request normal beds, preventing those beds from being shared. Despite these nuances, the core functionality provides a powerful tool for optimizing your Duplicant infrastructure.
