Vine Trellis
Mastering Ovagro Vine Growth with the Vine Trellis Mod
For dedicated duplicants tending to their hydroponic gardens in Oxygen Not Included, managing the unruly growth of Ovagro Vines can be a challenge. Fortunately, the Vine Trellis mod introduces a set of ingenious new buildings designed to precisely guide these plants through your asteroid base, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
Redirecting Your Verdant Assets
This mod focuses on providing elegant solutions for directing Ovagro Vine growth without interfering with duplicant pathways or segmenting your carefully constructed rooms. Two core components form the backbone of this system:
* **Vine Post:** This 1×2 vertical trellis piece serves as an anchor point, directing vines to grow upwards. A simple interaction allows you to choose whether the vine exits to the left or right, offering immediate control over its initial ascent.
* **Vine Rail:** The 1×1 horizontal counterpart, the Vine Rail, extends your vine’s reach sideways. By chaining multiple rails together, you can create extensive horizontal pathways, allowing vines to traverse open spaces or weave around obstacles with ease.
Seamless Integration and Operation
The beauty of the Vine Trellis system lies in its intuitive design. Once a Vine Post is placed near an Ovagro Vine, it will begin to follow the trellis path. Vine Rails can then be snapped directly to the top of the Post, continuing the guided growth horizontally. Vines automatically adapt to the trellis structure, requiring no further intervention. Flipping the direction of any trellis piece is a quick process, and the buildings intelligently auto-snap to each other, ensuring a clean and efficient setup.
Key Features at a Glance:
* Modular trellis buildings for controlled vine growth.
* Vine Post directs upward growth with directional choice.
* Vine Rail extends reach horizontally, chainable for long runs.
* Buildings are background elements, allowing unimpeded duplicant movement.
* Auto-snapping for quick and easy construction.
* Material tinting allows buildings to visually match their construction metal.
These trellis structures are categorized under Utilities and require Agriculture research. They are constructed from any metal, with Rails needing 25 kg and Posts requiring 75 kg. Importantly, these buildings act as background elements, meaning your duplicants can freely pass through them, preserving valuable space and flow within your base. The mod also features full thermal interaction, meaning the trellis pieces will absorb and release heat just like any other building. While the core functionality works across all versions of Oxygen Not Included, the specific vine guidance features require the Prehistoric Planet Pack, as Ovagro Vines originate from that DLC.
