Smart Priorities: Revolutionize Your Duplicant Management

Tired of manually juggling your Duplicant’s workload? Do you find yourself constantly tweaking priorities to ensure the most critical tasks are handled efficiently? The Smart Priorities mod for Oxygen Not Included offers an elegant, automated solution to one of the game’s most persistent micro-management challenges.

Intelligent Duplicant Allocation

This powerful mod analyzes the skills and attributes of your entire Duplicant workforce, dynamically assigning work priorities based on their capabilities. Instead of relying on your constant intervention, Smart Priorities ensures that the Duplicants best suited for a particular job are always given the highest preference. It intelligently distributes the remaining Duplicants across different priority levels, ensuring a proportional and efficient workflow. Even Duplicants with identical skill sets will be treated equally, preventing any single task from being neglected.

Seamless Integration and Customization

Smart Priorities is designed to work harmoniously with your existing Oxygen Not Included experience. It respects Duplicant traits that might restrict certain jobs, ensuring safety and proper role assignment. The mod recalculates priorities every 60 seconds of in-game time, keeping your colony running smoothly without constant manual adjustments. For those who prefer a hands-on approach or have specific needs, individual Duplicants can be exempted from automatic priority management directly from their side panel. These custom settings are conveniently saved with your game, and the entire system is enabled by default.

Furthermore, an optional automated skill learning system can now save enough skill points to complete an entire desired skill path, including all necessary prerequisites, ensuring Duplicants can reach their full potential without negatively impacting colony morale.
