Zoned Auto Sweeper

Mastering Automation with Zoned Auto Sweepers in Oxygen Not Included

Tired of the limitations of standard Auto-Sweeper reach? If you’re looking to fine-tune your automation and ensure resources are precisely where they need to be, the Zoned Auto Sweeper mod for Oxygen Not Included is an essential addition to your colony’s operational efficiency.

Unlocking Precision Sweeping

This powerful mod liberates Auto-Sweepers from their default rectangular pickup areas. Instead, you gain the ability to define custom, dynamic zones for each sweeper. This granular control is invaluable for a multitude of tasks, from ensuring construction sites are consistently supplied with materials to automating complex cleanup routines across vast bases, or even managing the intricate flow of resources between different areas.

Key Features for Enhanced Control

The Zoned Auto Sweeper mod introduces a suite of features designed to give you unparalleled command over your automated logistics:

• Zone Mode Activation: Easily enable custom zone functionality on individual Auto-Sweepers.
• Custom Zone Drawing: Design unique pickup boundaries tailored to the specific needs of each sweeper.
• Global Sweeper Zone: Establish a shared zone that multiple sweepers can utilize for coordinated tasks.
• Zone Assignment Flexibility: Choose whether each sweeper operates within the global zone or its own custom area.
• Dynamic Zone Creation: Automatically generate temporary zones for new building ghosts and newly marked items for sweeping, streamlining immediate tasks.
• Temporary Zone Toggling: Manage these temporary construction and sweeping zones with ease.
• Optional Item and Temperature Filtering: Further refine sweeper operations by specifying which items they collect or by setting temperature thresholds.
• Overlay Support: Visualize both local and global zones with dedicated overlay options.

Streamlining Your Workflow

The mod’s functionality extends to simplifying common colony management tasks. Temporary global zones are particularly useful for construction projects, allowing sweepers to quickly deliver materials to newly placed building blueprints. Similarly, newly designated sweep targets can be instantly accessed without permanent adjustments to your sweeper network. For colonies utilizing spaced-out clusters, the global zone offers potent cross-asteroid capabilities, though careful planning is advised to prevent unintended interactions.
