Unlock the Hidden Potential: Show Building Ranges Mod for Oxygen Not Included
Managing a complex asteroid colony in Oxygen Not Included requires precision and an intimate understanding of your duplicants’ surroundings. Sometimes, the most useful information is subtle, hidden within the operational radius of your vital structures. The “Show Building Ranges” mod brings these invisible zones into clear view, transforming how you strategize and optimize your base.
Visualize Your Infrastructure’s Reach
This powerful mod injects a layer of visual clarity by displaying the active operational range of numerous buildings. Whether you’re actively placing a new structure or simply selecting an existing one, the mod intuitively highlights its area of effect. This immediate feedback loop is invaluable for efficient base design and troubleshooting. No more guessing whether a Deodorizer is truly reaching that stagnant gas pocket, or if your Space Scanner has a clear line of sight.
