Swap Build Plan Material

Effortlessly Reshape Your Colony with Swap Build Plan Material for Oxygen Not Included

Navigating the intricate world of Oxygen Not Included often involves meticulous planning and resource management. However, even the most seasoned duplicant handlers can find themselves in a bind, having queued up hundreds of construction orders with the wrong material. Rebuilding these elements one by one can be a tedious and time-consuming endeavor, especially when those resources are desperately needed elsewhere or have been depleted over many cycles. Fortunately, the Swap Build Plan Material mod offers a revolutionary solution to this common predicament.

Streamline Your Construction Workflow

This invaluable mod empowers you to retroactively alter the material of any unbuilt construction order within your Oxygen Not Included colony. Imagine having queued up a large number of insulated tiles using Stone, only to realize later that Steel would have been a far more efficient choice for that specific environment. With Swap Build Plan Material, you can simply select an unbuilt order, access its contextual menu, and choose a new material. The mod intelligently applies this change to all matching open orders across your asteroid, preserving their existing build priority. This means your duplicants will continue their work with the revised material specification without missing a beat, significantly reducing the risk of errors and wasted effort.

Intelligent Filtering and Resource Awareness

The Swap Build Plan Material mod boasts a smart filtering system designed for maximum efficiency. By default, the mod targets only orders for the exact same building type as the one you select, ensuring that your Sedimentary Rock ladders are changed without affecting adjacent tiles. However, a simple click of the filter button expands the scope to include all building types that utilize the chosen material. This provides a comprehensive overview of your construction queue. Furthermore, the mod clearly displays the number of orders about to be modified, alongside your current stock of each material, with the most abundant resources listed first. This intuitive interface helps you make informed decisions and avoid material shortages.

Preserving Resources, Minimizing Waste

One of the most elegant features of this mod is its approach to resource management. Any material already delivered to an unbuilt plan is not simply deleted. Instead, it is dropped on the floor, ready to be picked up and repurposed by your duplicants. This ensures that no resources are lost during the material swap, upholding the core principles of efficient resource utilization that are central to Oxygen Not Included. Crucially, the mod strictly affects only construction orders; existing, built structures are never modified, safeguarding the integrity of your established colony infrastructure.
