Steel Ladder

Upgrade Your Duplicant Transit with Steel Ladders

Tired of your duplicants dawdling on their way to critical tasks? Enhance your base’s efficiency and aesthetics with the Steel Ladder mod for Oxygen Not Included. This mod introduces a robust, high-performance ladder option that significantly speeds up transit times while also contributing to your colony’s overall decor rating.

Unlocking Faster Duplicant Movement

The Steel Ladder mod brings a visually distinct and functionally superior ladder to your Oxygen Not Included gameplay. Borrowing its design from the impressive structures found in Points of Interest within the game, these ladders are not just for show. Their primary advantage lies in their speed. Duplicants utilizing Steel Ladders experience a dramatic improvement in their climbing capabilities.

Key Features of the Steel Ladder

• Enhanced Climb Speed: Duplicants ascend and descend these ladders a remarkable 30% faster than even the Plastic Ladder, drastically cutting down travel time between different levels of your base.
• Decorative Appeal: Beyond their functional benefits, Steel Ladders provide a positive decor bonus, helping you achieve a more pleasant and well-appointed living environment for your duplicants.
• Base Building Integration: This new ladder falls under the “Base” building category, seamlessly fitting into your existing construction plans.
• Research Requirement: To unlock the ability to construct these efficient ladders, you’ll need to research “Home Luxuries.”
• Material Cost: Each Steel Ladder requires 50 Steel to build, making it a mid-to-late game upgrade that rewards your resource management efforts.

Boosting Efficiency and Aesthetics

By reducing the time duplicants spend traversing vertical spaces, the Steel Ladder mod directly contributes to improved productivity. Whether it’s reaching research stations, accessing new mining areas, or simply managing multiple floors, faster movement means more time spent on essential colony tasks. Furthermore, the added decor bonus can subtly influence duplicant stress levels, contributing to a happier and more stable colony. If you’re looking to optimize your base’s layout and ensure your duplicants are moving with unparalleled speed and style, the Steel Ladder mod is an essential addition to your Oxygen Not Included experience.
