Streamline Your Duplicant Training with Skill Queue
Managing the development of your duplicants is a cornerstone of success in Oxygen Not Included. As your colony grows and your duplicants gain experience, you’ll find yourself constantly clicking through their skill trees, trying to keep their training optimized. This is where the Skill Queue mod becomes an invaluable tool, automating and simplifying the process of assigning new abilities to your valuable crew.
Effortless Skill Assignment
The core functionality of Skill Queue is elegantly simple yet incredibly powerful. By holding the SHIFT key while selecting a desired skill, you automatically add it to that duplicant’s personal queue. The mod intelligently handles prerequisite skills, ensuring that your duplicants will have the necessary foundations before advancing to their chosen specialization. This means no more manual tracking or last-minute skill point expenditures.
Intelligent Queue Management
Each duplicant maintains their own independent skill queue. The mod visually represents the order of your queued skills with clear numbering, and a customizable rainbow gradient provides an intuitive visual indicator of their position in line. This makes it easy to see at a glance what each duplicant is working towards. Furthermore, if you change your mind or a new priority emerges, simply SHIFT-clicking a skill already in the queue will remove it and any dependent skills, offering a flexible way to adjust your training plans on the fly.
Key Features at a Glance:
- SHIFT-click to add skills and prerequisites to a duplicant’s queue.
- Individual skill queues for every duplicant.
- Visible numbering and optional gradient to show skill order.
- SHIFT-click to remove skills from the queue.
- All skill queues are automatically saved with your game progress.
- Optional notifications upon skill acquisition and queue completion.
Enhanced Colony Management
Skill Queue goes beyond just queueing. The mod includes optional notifications that alert you when a duplicant has acquired a new skill, keeping you informed of their progress without constant monitoring. Additionally, you’ll receive a notification when a duplicant has successfully completed their entire skill queue, signaling a perfect time to re-evaluate their training or assign new long-term goals. With all skill queues seamlessly saved with your game, you can pick up right where you left off without losing your carefully planned progression. This mod is a must-have for any duplicant manager looking to optimize their colony’s efficiency and specialization.
