WannaPrint: Bio-Inks

Unlock New Possibilities with WannaPrint: Bio-Inks for Oxygen Not Included

For dedicated duplicant managers in Oxygen Not Included, every resource counts. The WannaPrint: Bio-Inks mod introduces a clever new mechanic to your printing pod, allowing you to gain bonus items by strategically rejecting unwanted prints. This mod, an updated fork of the original Bio-Inks, ensures you can harness its benefits in the latest builds of the game.

How Bio-Inks Work

The core of WannaPrint: Bio-Inks revolves around a new resource: Bio-Ink. When you choose to reject an item from your Printing Pod, it will now deposit a small amount of Bio-Ink. This ink can then be collected by your duplicants and delivered back to the Printing Pod. Once the pod has accumulated enough Bio-Ink, a new option appears on its side panel: a “bonus print.” This allows you to effectively get more value out of your Printing Pod over time, with roughly two rejected prints yielding one bonus item under default settings.

Expanded Printing Options

WannaPrint: Bio-Inks goes beyond just ink generation, offering a variety of enhancements to your printing experience:

• Diverse Bio-Ink Types: Bio-Ink isn’t a one-size-fits-all resource. You’ll encounter different types, including those derived from metals, food, seeds, and even vacillators, adding strategic depth to ink collection.
• Themed Care Packages: Discover curated “care package bundles” that offer themed selections of items, perfect for specific colony needs or challenges.
• Advanced Research Items: Access unique items through the Advanced Research building, such as self-improvement books, dice, and new recipes, further enriching your gameplay.
• Configurable Mod Settings: The mod is highly customizable. You can adjust settings like the amount of ink refunded per rejection and the chance of receiving random items directly within the game.

Important Compatibility Notes

To ensure smooth operation, it is crucial to disable the original Bio-Inks mod if you have it installed, as running both simultaneously can cause conflicts. This mod is compatible with both the base game and the Spaced Out! DLC. Further customization and recipe editing are possible by accessing the mod’s configuration file. Embrace the efficiency and expanded options that WannaPrint: Bio-Inks brings to your Oxygen Not Included colonies.
