Extra Large Map

If you think bigger is better in Oxygen Not Included, then the Extra Large Map mod will be perfect for you. It’s pretty simple, acting as a world generation script that is based on the default one, but it sets the dimensions to 512 x 512 (instead of 256 x 384), making it 2.6 times the size of the base game’s map. The map won’t be much different to what you’re used to from the game, and it will likely make your experience tougher since you’ll need to search for all the resources in the larger spaces, but it certainly makes the game feel more expansive. Install it and you’ll have even more world to explore and attempt to survive in.

Grace Period

The Grace Period mod is designed for new players or those that do not want to struggle at the start of the game. Essentially, it adds extra food to the start of the game so that your character can last longer. More Nutrient Bars will be available, and they can be changed to offer more energy to last even longer. It simply gives you a choice of how intensive you want the start of Oxygen Not Included to be.

The Tubular Colony Challenge

The Tubular Colony Challenge mod is less about helping you as you play, and more about putting some more fun into Oxygen Not Included via some tricky circumstances. A while back, the developers themselves ran a challenge that saw different areas of the game’s map only be reachable via a labyrinth of tubes. Each of the isolated regions, which you’ll have to navigate the tubes to get to, has its own set of resources, and you’ll need to get to many of them to get everything that you need to survive. If you’re looking to test yourself in Oxygen Not Included, it’d be a good mod to test. Now, that challenge, which you can read more about, has come back via a mod.

Generate More Geysers

Geysers are an important part of Oxygen Not Included because they’re a source of material that changes state throughout your game. The Generate more Geysers mod adds more to the map you’re on so that you can find more resources in the area of the map you’re in. It doesn’t add any new Geysers to the game, it simply adds more the world generation when you’re setting it up. You can choose the exact settings yourself while setting the game up, but the generation is primarily random, with there being at least always be two Natural Gas Geysers. You can see the details on what each Biome features on the mod’s page.
